Introducing the OTW Old Skool 36 Pearlized Collection: A Modern Twist on a Classic Skate Shoe
Vans is back at it again, revamping one of their most iconic styles with a fresh new look. The Old Skool 36 Pearlized collection is set to drop on September 1, 2024, and we couldn’t be more excited.
From Skate Shoe to Style Staple
The Old Skool 36, also known as the Style 36, was Vans’ second-ever skate shoe, first hitting the streets in 1977. Since then, it has become a staple in the fashion world, loved by skaters and non-skaters alike.
A Touch of Glamour
The OTW Old Skool 36 Pearlized takes the classic silhouette and adds a touch of glamour. The distressed and greased suede upper is adorned with pearl and crystal embellishments, giving the shoes a unique and eye-catching look.
A Journey Through Style
These kicks are more than just a shoe, they tell a story. The distressed design reflects a journey through various destinations, evoking the charm of a well-loved shoe that has been customized and repaired over time.
Modern Comfort, Premium Materials
Staying true to the Vans Premium philosophy, the OTW Old Skool 36 Pearlized collection prioritizes modern comfort and premium materials. The higher glossed sidewall and intricate stitching details add a touch of luxury to these already stylish shoes.
Classic with a Twist
Don’t worry, the classic Old Skool silhouette is still intact. But the collection also features the iconic Sidestripe, first seen on the original Style 36, giving these shoes a modern twist.
Two Must-Have Colorways
The OTW Old Skool 36 Pearlized will be available in two must-have colorways: Marshmallow and Black. Both options are versatile and perfect for any outfit.
Where to Cop
Mark your calendars for September 1, because that’s when the collection drops. You can snag a pair for yourself on Vans’ official website or at select retailers for $130 USD. Don’t miss out on this limited edition release!
