Nu på fredag den 5 april kommer Vans att släppa en kollektion man tagit fram för att hylla och minnas David Bowie. Den innehåller skor och kläder som inspirerats av några av Bowies mest inflytelserika verk och färgstarka personas. Vad grejerna kommer att kosta vet vi tyvärr inte för tillfället.
Footwear and Apparel Collection
This spring, Vans commemorates the life and legacy of David Bowie with a collection of
unisex footwear and apparel for adults and toddlers. Drawing inspiration from some of
Bowie’s most influential works and many colorful personas, this collaboration celebrates
a joint force between Vans and “the man who fell to earth”—two entities who for
decades have championed the different and the strange, leaving a lasting impression on
generations. The Vans and David Bowie collection lands in select Vans retail stores and
online April 5.
David Bowie is a truly immortal artist whose body of work revolutionized sound and
vision, leaving a legacy of innovation and reinvention that will live on forever. 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 ?.
The Vans x David Bowie collection kicks off with a five-piece apparel and accessories
capsule, with each style designed to represent remarkable moments from the Aladdin
Sane and Ziggy Stardust album covers to the Serious Moonlight tour.
• The footwear collection begins by dedicating Vans Classic Era to Bowie’s first hit
single “Space Oddity” from 1969. Vans’ first skate shoe showcases varying hues
of blue and green and cylindrical shapes that matches back to the album art
cover. The Era is finished with a black sole that is accented with the album name
on the medial and tonal design details on the lateral sides.
• The Slip-On 47 V has been reimagined to include fuzzy checkerboard uppers
reminiscent of the coat seen on Bowie on the Hunky Dory album artwork. The
slip-on is accented by yellow suede uppers and is finished with the artist’s
moniker on the pull-tab.
• The Sk8-Hi Platform 2.0 pays tribute to Bowie’s glam rock alter-ego Ziggy
Stardust. The platform style is decked out in red patent leather and features an
embossed Bowie lettering and black platform sole. Paying homage to Bowie’s
inclusive nature, Vans will be offering the Sk8-Hi Platform style in an extended
size range for men and women.
• Vans’ Old Skool is dedicated to David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane album and includes
pearlescent pebbled leather uppers accented by the iconic red and blue lightning
bolt and finished with Vans’ Sidestripe. The two renowned motifs merge on the
Sk8-Hi model which has checkerboard printed sidewall and includes the Bowie
lightning bolt logo lock-up overlaid across the ubiquitous print and Sidestripe.
• David Bowie’s last album, ? is highlighted across Vans Classic Slip-On model.
Using a combination of canvas and suede uppers, the vamp includes a vinyl star
while the tonal black outsole includes an embossed star. The Slip-On is
completed with a galaxy of stars on the footbed as a tribute to Bowie’s legacy.
Even the youngest of David Bowie fans can pay homage to the prolific artist with a two-
pair collection of footwear including the Sk8-Hi Zip and Old Skool V models that match
back to the Bowie and Aladdin Sane adult styles.
The Vans x David Bowie collection is available for a limited time in select Vans retail
stores and online at Vans.com/Bowie beginning April 5.
