The Vans Pearlized collection, featuring the Old Skool 36 style and three new Classic Slip-On 98 colorways, is dropping March 19 on Complex .
The design itself is deceptively simple but undeniably eye-catching. The black-and-navy Old Skool 36 colorway features standard canvas uppers, but the pearl studs covering the side stripes and toe box create a textured, bejeweled effect that sets them apart from typical Vans releases. Pre-scuffed midsoles and distressed laces add a vintage, worn-in aesthetic that nods to skate culture without feeling overly polished.
The Pearlized collection expands beyond the Old Skool with three new Classic Slip-On 98 styles. The lineup includes a camo version, an indigo colorway, and a black option.
