Vans first showed the Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Lime” during Paris Fashion Week, and the official photos are now in. The bright green colorway is part of the expanding Pearlized lineup and is scheduled to release in Fall/Holiday 2026.

Bright lime canvas makes up most of the upper, with black overlays covering the toe, eyestays, Jazz Stripe, and heel. Pearls and crystal-like accents are worked into those darker sections, bringing the same embellished look seen on other Old Skool 36 Pearlized styles. Off-white laces and exposed white stitching help break up the lime and black without changing the overall look.

The lower half gets a much rougher finish. Vans gives the midsole a distressed, worn-in treatment that makes the shoe look aged straight out of the box, a detail that has become part of the wider Pearlized lineup.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Lime” will release in Fall/Holiday 2026 through Vans and select retailers. Retail price is set at $130.
