Vans is again reaching into its rich heritage for its Foot Locker-exclusive Van Doren collection. This time around, the brand takes inspiration from thrifting trend for an assortment of apparel and sneakers.
The Vans Van Doren Thrift Shop Collection breathes new life into three sneaker models: the Authentic, Old Skool, and Sk8-Hi. The Authentic dons a blue-shaded colorway, its sole adorned with a scattered design reminiscent of a thrift shop find. The Old Skool, with its black canvas and suede base, features a bold red jazz stripe midfoot and a distressed sole unit. The Sk8-Hi, crafted with a mix of suede and canvas, features dark navy suede panels and a blue canvas finish. White accent stitching contrasts the upper, matching the lace set, while a vibrant yellow Jazz Stripe elevates the design. A distressed midsole rounds out each design.
The collection also extends to clothing, with two T-shirts carrying the thrifting theme. A black tee showcases a skeleton graphic, while a dark grey tee features a skeleton holding a white dove. Both items proudly display Vans' signature "Off The Wall" tagline.
The Vans Van Doren Thrift Shop Collection will release May 18 exclusively through Foot Locker online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail prices range from $30 to $80. Keep it locked to our Twitter and the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
