Early this year, Vans collaborated with Led Zeppelin to release a capsule collection of footwear and apparel featuring Vans Sk8-hi, Vans Era, Trucker Hat and Long Sleeve Tee. To add to their collaboration, they have selected another music legend, David Bowie. David Bowie is well-known for his musical genius. He’s a songwriter, an actor, an artist, and a singer.
Vans have selected four of their most famous sneakers as the capsule collection that will be released this week in honour of the music legend. Those four sneakers are Vans Sk8-hi, Vans Era, Vans Old Skool, and Vans Slip-On 47VDX. The collection is inspired by Bowie’s four famous albums namely: Aladine Sane, Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, and Hunky Dory.
There is no specific release date yet, but the rumoured date is stated below.
