Pearls, Studs and Vans: The Pearlized Pack Drops March 19

Off the heels of a sold-out project by Satoshi Nakamoto, Vans is continuing its push into embellished, fashion-forward reinterpretations of its archive with the upcoming Vans Pearlized Pack.

The new capsule builds on the same aesthetic direction introduced through OTW by Vans late last year, where pearl and crystal embellishments were paired with distressed finishes to give classic skate silhouettes a customized, well-worn look straight out of the box. This latest Vans Pearlized Pack expands the concept further, delivering five new styles across the Classic Slip-On and Old Skool 36 .

Across the Vans Pearlized Pack, canvas uppers are decorated with a mixture of pearl-like beads and metallic studs arranged across the toe boxes, quarters, and heel panels. The embellishments give the sneakers a hand-customized feel while maintaining the familiar construction that has defined Vans’ skate lineage for decades.

The Classic Slip-On arrives in several variations, including a deep navy canvas option with white pearl accents, a black edition with darker metal studs, and a camouflage pair that blends military-inspired patterns with decorative beadwork. Each version retains the silhouette’s elastic side panels and low-profile shape while introducing a bold visual twist.

Alongside the Slip-On models, the Old Skool 36 joins the pack in two standout executions. One features earthy brown suede and canvas panels with pearl-studded Sidestripes, while another mixes teal canvas with black overlays and the same jewelry-inspired treatment. Both pairs maintain the iconic Sidestripe™ first introduced in 1977, paired with intentionally distressed foxing that gives the sneakers a worn-in, vintage aesthetic straight out of the box.

The Vans Pearlized Pack continues Vans’ recent push toward blending customization culture with its archival silhouettes, offering something that feels equal parts DIY and premium.

All five pairs from the Vans Pearlized Pack will release via Vans.com on March 19.
