Vans is launching a David Bowie-themed shoe collection, so we can be heroes
Calling all sneakerheads—and especially David Bowie superfans. Vans is honoring the late and great David Bowie with a collection of footwear for adults and toddlers, as well as clothing and accessories, each inspired by Bowie himself, or by one of his many iconic albums.
Drawing inspiration from his music, his albums, and his colorful characters through his fruitful career, the Vans x David Bowie collection is a must-have for fans of the icon. According to a press release from Vans, the collection is meant “to represent remarkable moments from the Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust album covers to the Serious Moonlight tour.”
You’ll be able to shop the Vans x David Bowie collection starting Friday, April 5th.
Even your little ones can get in on the love, as the Sk8-Hi Zip and Old Skool V models will be available in toddler sizes and are identical to the adult versions of the shoes.
“For this collection, Vans designers were inspired by iconic Bowie imagery throughout his career from 1969’s Space Oddity all the way to his final album, 2016’s ★,” writes the brand.
