Vans Old Skool Pearlized "Yacht Club"

Yacht Club Comes Back Wearing Pearls

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized "Yacht Club" revives a multicolor look that repeatedly sold out in the summer of 2018, then adds jewelry to the mix. It keeps the original's cheerful color blocking while turning familiar canvas panels into a base for pearls and crystal-like decoration.

Four Colors Divide the Upper

Blue covers the toe, green fills the side panels, yellow lands at the heel, and red takes over the tongue and collar. A white Jazz Stripe cuts through the bright arrangement, giving the eye one clean line to follow. The palette is playful without looking random because each color owns a distinct part of the shoe.

The Pearlized Treatment Changes the Texture

Pearl and crystal-style pieces are set into the toe, heel, and side stripe, adding raised sparkle instead of a flat metallic coating. A scuffed finish on the midsole pulls in the opposite direction, giving the pair a worn, customized feel beneath the glossy decoration. That push and pull fits Vans' long connection to hand-altered footwear.

A Fan Favorite With a New Reason to Return

Rather than simply restocking the 2018 Yacht Club, Vans uses its current Pearlized series to make the comeback visually distinct. The Old Skool 36 proportions keep it rooted in the brand's archive, while the jeweled surface makes style VN000E8VBGK feel like a proper special edition at $130.
