Vans OTW Old Skool Reissue 36 Pearlized “Marshmallow” (VN000S52FS8)

Pearlized Customisation Meets Style 36 Heritage

The Vans OTW Old Skool Reissue 36 Pearlized in “Marshmallow” reworks one of Vans’ most recognisable silhouettes with an intentionally distressed, jewellery-inspired finish.

The marshmallow canvas upper is contrasted by black suede panels, white stitching and a vivid blue collar lining and foxing stripe. Pearl and crystal embellishments follow the signature Sidestripe and continue across the toe and heel, giving every angle a handcrafted, customised appearance.

Pre-scuffed sidewalls, distressed laces and intentionally worn detailing create the look of a well-travelled pair that has been repaired and personalised over time. Underfoot, the OTW construction adds a high-rebound SOLA FOAM ADC footbed for more comfortable everyday wear.

Originally introduced in 1977, Style 36 was Vans’ second skate shoe and the first model to feature the now-iconic Sidestripe. This Pearlized edition preserves that low-profile heritage while transforming it into an expressive lifestyle statement.

Customer FAQ

Are the scuffs and distressed areas defects?

No. The worn sidewalls, distressed upper, frayed details and aged appearance are intentional parts of the design.

What materials are used?

The shoe combines cotton canvas with contrasting suede overlays, a leather collar, pearl and crystal-effect embellishments and a rubber sole.

Is this a skate-performance shoe?

The design is based on Vans’ historic Style 36 skate silhouette, but this embellished OTW edition is best positioned as a premium lifestyle sneaker.

Is the shoe suitable for men and women?
