Supreme and Vans are wrapping up the year with a bold new collaboration, marking their second release together in 2023. This time, they’ve brought a fresh twist to two classic silhouettes—the Old Skool and Half-Cab—by adding vibrant leopard fleece panels in eye-catching orange, black, and navy blue colorways.

Over the years, Supreme and Vans have been a dynamic duo, consistently dropping collaborative collections that align with Supreme’s seasonal releases. Earlier this year, they debuted the “Dollar Bill” collection, which featured a money-inspired print on various sneaker models. This time, the focus shifts to the animal kingdom, with the “Leopard” print fleece taking center stage. The fleece panels are applied to the main underlay sections of the Old Skool and Half-Cab, giving each sneaker a wild, standout look. To elevate the design, both models also feature a smooth satin-like inner lining and prominent Supreme branding.

BAPE continues its legacy of standout sneaker collaborations with a new release in July. This time, the iconic Japanese streetwear brand has teamed up with Vans for a fresh take on two of their most beloved models: the Sk8-Hi and Old Skool. The collaboration will feature the brand’s signature Camo print, which will give these classic silhouettes a unique twist.

While BAPE has been known for its in-house BapeSta sneakers, the brand has also consistently teamed up with other major names to put its spin on classic designs. Over the years, BAPE has worked predominantly with adidas, but their partnership with Vans marks an exciting shift, as they apply their distinctive style to the legendary skate brand’s footwear. This latest collaboration for Summer 2024 will see both the Sk8-Hi and Old Skool receiving BAPE’s famous camo treatment.

The upcoming release will feature the Sk8-Hi with a more subtle design, combining green camouflage midfoot panels with black suede on the rest of the shoe. Meanwhile, the Old Skool offers a more dynamic approach with green camo on the left side of both shoes, while the right shoes feature contrasting blue and red camo. Both models will come with the signature BAPE Ape lace ornament, adding a final touch to the design.

As Go Skateboarding Day approaches, sneaker brands are gearing up to celebrate the occasion with some special releases. This year, Vans and Parra have teamed up for a vibrant and dynamic edition of the Half-Cab, ready to drop in time for the festivities.

Go Skateboarding Day, which started in 2003, was created by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to celebrate skateboarding and bring skaters together from around the world. Since its inception, major skate brands have joined in, holding events and contributing gear to make the day even more memorable. Vans, a long-time supporter, has partnered with Amsterdam-based artist Piet Parra for a special release this year to commemorate the occasion.

Parra, known for his clothing label ByParra, has made a significant mark on skate fashion with his bold graphics and relaxed, comfortable fits. His colorful, distinctive style has made waves in the skate scene, and this year’s collaboration with Vans adds to his already impressive list of partnerships. For the “Go Skate” release, Parra and Vans have reimagined the classic Half-Cab, featuring an all-suede upper with a unique color palette. The forefoot and mudguard panels come in a clean white, while the midfoot and collar areas are dressed in collegiate blue, green, and red. The wavy edges of the suede panels mirror the design style Parra used in his recent Nike AM1 collaborations, while hand-drawn Half-Cab labels by Parra himself add a personal touch.

Chicago-based retailer Notre is preparing to release its latest collaboration with Vans, featuring two new colorways of the legendary Sk8-Hi sneakers. This upcoming release brings together Notre’s dedication to craftsmanship, community, and creativity with Vans’ long-established role in skate culture and streetwear.

A Fresh Take on the Classic Sk8-Hi

The Sk8-Hi, a signature silhouette in Vans’ skateboarding history, gets a fresh spin in this collaboration. The sneakers are crafted with premium materials, and the subtle inclusion of Notre’s handshake logo emphasizes the spirit of partnership and collaboration. This collection blends Notre’s minimalist aesthetic with Vans’ rebellious and laid-back vibe, resulting in a capsule that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Vans’ Legacy and the “Off the Wall” Ethos

For more than 50 years, Vans has stood at the heart of skateboarding and street culture, with its “Off the Wall” slogan representing creativity and individuality. Originally coined in the 1970s to describe skateboarders defying gravity by launching tricks off the walls of empty pools, the phrase has evolved into a broader symbol of self-expression and boundary-pushing.

Fusing Tradition with Innovation

This collaboration exemplifies Vans’ ongoing commitment to honoring its heritage while embracing the evolving trends of modern culture. As Vans’ Senior Director of Global Brand Marketing, April Vitkus, once stated, “50 years for Vans is about the creative people that have made the brand ‘Off the Wall.’” The same creativity shines through in the Notre x Vans collection, where both brands collaborate to celebrate the communities that have helped define their success.

With the Notre x Vans Sk8-Hi release, sneaker enthusiasts and collectors alike can look forward to a pair of shoes that reflect both brands’ dedication to quality, collaboration, and innovation. The synergy of Notre’s community-driven approach and Vans’ iconic cultural influence makes this collaboration a standout in the streetwear scene.

JJJJound’s journey into sneaker collaborations began back in 2017 with Vans, when they introduced their first collection of the Old Skool. This initial release captured the brand’s design philosophy perfectly, combining simplicity with style. Since then, JJJJound has partnered with brands like Reebok, New Balance, and Asics, delivering highly sought-after, clean, minimalistic sneakers. Now, they are revisiting their Vans partnership with a fresh offering.

The last JJJJound x Vans release came in the summer of 2023, when they launched white versions of the Slip-On, Sk8-Hi, and Era models. This time around, for Summer 2025, the collaboration takes a much darker direction with the Half-Cab. The two styles, available in black and maroon, both feature premium suede uppers in tonal colors.
