The official Vans product page confirms this Premium Old Skool 36 in Blue/Black as coming soon on November 19, 2026. The US page lists the same shoe as Coming Soon, 11/19, at $130 in the US and £115 in the UK, and both pages give the same SKU, VN000E8VYA6, so the date reads as a global launch rather than a regional one.
The shoe works the pearlized treatment into the 1977 Old Skool silhouette: a suede and canvas upper with small pearl studs clustered along the Sidestripe and the toebox, a glossy higher sidewall, and the waffle outsole under it all. Vans launched the Old Skool 36 line in 2025 to give the standard Old Skool a slimmer 90s proportion, and this pair keeps that lower cut.
Blue/Black is the one colorway with a confirmed day. The US page also lists Pearlized Black/Navy Blue, Racing Red, Black/Fluro Lime, and Black/Marshmallow White without dates. Watch Elusive's Vans search as listings surface.
