Vans' Authentic skate shoe is certainly a classic, and with this new collab with big time fashion house Valentino, the two have come up with a flashy colorway that you might mistakenly think you've already seen in the 80s. Unveiled on a Valentino catwalk recently, this collab will be part of Valentino's Fall/Winter 2025 collection, not sure when or where you can cop, or for how much, but at least you can get your first look:

"If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. ⁠⁠For Fall/Winter 2025, @alessandro_michele and @maisonvalentino team up with @vans for a no-frills take on the Authentic, staying true to the classic silhouette. The only nod to Valentino comes through its logo, subtly woven into the volt green and black checkered upper. ⁠⁠What feels like a tribute to the enduring legacy of Vans, this collaboration reaffirms that true style doesn't need to be reinvented.⁠⁠: @gettyimages"

Vans' OTW line had all kinds of interesting releases and events in 2024. Looking forward to what else they've got coming down the pipe in '25.
