Product Introduction

Product Overview

The Vans OTW Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack in Marshmallow White (Style: VN000S52FS8) reworks the iconic Old Skool 36 silhouette with a distressed, embellished aesthetic. The low-top design combines a Marshmallow White base with contrasting dark panels, the signature Vans Sidestripe, pearl and crystal-style embellishments, and intentionally worn-in finishing that gives the classic skate shoe a distinctive decorative character.

Design & Materials

The upper combines textile elements with contrasting dark overlays in the Marshmallow White colorway. Pearl and crystal-style embellishments are applied across key areas of the shoe, including the Sidestripe and surrounding upper, creating the defining decorative treatment of the Pearlized design. Distressed detailing throughout the upper and laces reinforces the intentionally worn-in appearance.

The Old Skool 36 retains its recognizable low-top profile with a round toe, lace-up fastening, signature Vans Sidestripe, layered upper construction, and branded heel detail. A pre-scuffed white rubber midsole continues the distressed treatment, while contrasting blue detailing appears along the sole area of this Marshmallow White configuration.

Size Recommendation

Vans does not provide a specific size-up or size-down recommendation for this particular VN000S52FS8 configuration. Choosing your usual Vans Old Skool size is recommended as the safest starting point, while foot width and your preferred amount of interior room should also be considered.

• Choose your usual Vans Old Skool size as the safest starting point.

• Allow comfortable room through the toe box without excessive heel movement.
• Compare the sizing with another pair of Vans Old Skool or similarly shaped Vans sneakers you already own when possible.

No specific model sizing information is provided for this style. Some established retailers describe the pair as true to size, but this is not presented as an official Vans sizing recommendation.
