Vans Dropped a David Bowie Collection, and Yes, Patent-Leather Sneakers Are Involved

06/04/2019 - 01:00 AM

Vans is back at it with another collaboration [1], this time honouring David Bowie's iconic legacy. The footwear brand just released a collection inspired by the late artist, and you better believe the sneakers are out-of-this-world cool. All six pairs of kicks in the line incorporate prominent details that pay homage to Bowie's greatest hits [2] and various personas.

The Vans Classic Eras are modelled after the album cover art for his first hit single, "Space Oddity," featuring a blue and green polka-dotted pattern. Meanwhile, a pair of Vans Old Skools got the iridescent treatment [3] and showcases the motif perhaps most synonymous with Bowie: the red and blue lightning bolt. Oh, and there's also a red patent-leather pair of Sk8-Hi Platforms, too!

The entire Vans x David Bowie collection is now available online [4] and in select stores. Take an up-close peek at the one-of-a-kind sneakers ahead, and get ready to unleash your inner Ziggy Stardust.
