Vans LX Old Skool 36 Pearlized Marshmallow White: reported 8 October release
A reported return of the Pearlized Pack on the Old Skool 36 spreads faux pearls and studs onto the tongue and heel, beyond the 2025 placement on the Sidestripe and toe box.

The Vans LX Old Skool 36 Pearlized Marshmallow White is the pair tied to style code VN000ZB8CDA. Its return is reported for 8 October 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET, with adult unisex sizing listed; those launch details remain unconfirmed.
What the 2026 detailing adds
The upper is described as white canvas with suede on the toe, lace panel and heel. A worn finish extends across the upper, midsole and laces. Faux pearls and small studs run along the Sidestripe and toe box, and are also reported on the tongue and heel.
A thin black line is reported around the midsole, alongside an Off The Wall plate on the heel tab. The shoe is described with a waffle outsole and a Sola Foam ADC insole, keeping the familiar Old Skool 36 layout while the pearl-and-stud work covers more of the upper.
Strings of faux pearls sit with small metal studs rather than as a single cluster. That mix traces the Jazz stripe, wraps the toe box, then continues onto the tongue and the heel overlay so the sparkle is no longer confined to the side profile.
How it differs from the 2025 pair
The earlier Pearlized Marshmallow version placed its pearl detailing on the Sidestripe and toe box. For 2026, pearls and studs are reported on the tongue and heel as well, extending the embellishment to more areas of the shoe.
The colourway first appeared at ComplexCon in October 2025, followed by a wider Vans release the next month. That 2025 run introduced pearl and crystal work to the silhouette; this reported 2026 pair returns the Marshmallow white canvas-and-suede mix with heavier bedazzling on extra panels.
The worn look on canvas, suede, midsole and laces is part of the same Marshmallow story rather than a new colour story. Readers comparing both years should look first at tongue and heel coverage, then at how densely the Sidestripe and toe box are still dressed.
