Vans Old Skool 36 "Pearlized Black" Releases on Black Friday 2026

It's no secret that Vans is having a prolonged moment—thanks in large part to its Old Skool 36 Premium silhouette. As the fourth quarter of 2026 gets going, the California-based institution is promising the close out the year with more "Pearlized" pairs of the old school skate shoe.

To celebrate Black Friday 2026, Vans will release a "Pearlized Black/Marshmallow White" edition of the Old Skool 36 Premium. As with other seasonal offerings, which include "Pearlized Racing Red" and "Pearlized Yacht Club Green" options, the predominantly black-colored style features a pre-"worn" midsole and pearl-inspired decoration across the toe, Sidestripe, tongue, and lower heel.

These pairs aren't as layered as some viral drops from the OTW by Vans team, but they've been enough to make Vans a go-to brand for many over the last 18 months.

Enjoy official photos of the premium Old Skool ahead. Pairs are scheduled to release via Vans.com on Friday, Nov. 27, for $130.
