Vans is bringing back its colorful “Yacht Club” look, this time with the Old Skool 36 Pearlized getting the treatment.

The original “Yacht Club” Old Skool first showed up in 2018 as part of a nautical-themed pack. Its mix of green, yellow, red, and blue made it one of the louder Old Skool releases from that period. Now the same color blocking returns with a much different finish.

Pearls and crystal-like details run along the Jazz Stripe, toe, and heel, giving the shoe the customized look that has become a signature of the Pearlized series. The canvas upper also comes slightly worn-in, while black marks across the white vulcanized midsole make the pair look like it has already seen plenty of wear.

Vans first introduced the Pearlized Old Skool through its 2024 collaboration with Satoshi Nakamoto. Several simpler colorways followed, but the “Yacht Club” will be the first version to bring multiple colors into the Pearlized setup.

The pair was previewed during Vans’ Spring/Summer 2027 showroom at Paris Fashion Week, although it is arriving much sooner than that season suggests.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Yacht Club” releases September 10, 2026. Men’s pairs are priced at $130, while kids’ sizing will be available for $110.
