Last week we got word that Chanel’s own Karl Lagerfeld would be collaborating with Vans on a full collection of footwear and apparel due out September 7th. Now we know exactly what
the Vans Slip-On Womens will look like as Karl replaces the iconic checkerboard pattern with his face silhouette logo for a tongue-in-cheek take on classic chevron graphics. There’s also rumored to be both a Vans Sk8-Hi and a Vans Old-Skool in the works.
Bold prints and classic colorways are the name of the game for Vault this season, as the Vans Slip-On Mens receives both a leopard print and a classic checkered variation, while the Authentic arrives in both leopard and cow prints. If animal prints aren’t really your thing, the collection has you covered with classic colorways as well: the Epoch Sport, Old
Skool, and Vans Slip-On Discount all feature simple, refined colors like black, cumin, and different shades of blue.
There are perhaps no two brands more iconic to skateboarding in California than Santa Cruz and Vans Slip-On Sale. Both around since the early days of the sport, the skateboard company and skate shoe giants teaming up makes more sense than just about any other collab you’ll find. Already releasing a number of special edition sneakers in the past, the two are back again with this Slip-On celebrating the famous Screaming Hand artwork by Jim Phillips that’s been synonymous with Santa Cruz ever since it debuted as a skateboard graphic thirty years ago.
