Vans Went All Out at Paris Fashion Week

The Vans crew has more heat than ever. After showing up at Paris Fashion Week with artist collab Slip-Ons and an expansive collection of Pearlized Pack Old Skools, a new look at Vans’ French showcase shows off new collabs, new additions to the handbag dupe motif, leather sandals, cork soles, checkerboard boots, flower embroidery, and much, much more.

Keep The Good Time Rolling

The Vans Paris Fashion Week Preview collection starts with the collabs. A Born x Raised Authentic pack pays tribute to Venice, California, and the late, great Spanto in white and blue, while a two-pack of woven checkerboard Slip-Ons connects with Dover Street Market, and Imran Potato adds to his partnership with splotchy red and black fuzzy Half Cabs.

After the collabs, Vans goes back to its handbag rips for a take on the Bottega Jodie bag with a knot striking across the upper on a collection of Slip-Ons and another Bottega nod on a collection of woven Authentics. There’s a Walabee-style moccasin, endless pairs of plaid Authentics, and a split-upper Slip-On that will remind skaters of Dylan Reider’s Gravis signature models.
