The BAPE x Vans Collection Celebrates ’90s Culture

Vans and BAPE have partnered for a new collection that combines Southern California’s skate culture with Harajuku’s streetwear flair. The BAPE x Vans collaboration breathes new life into Vans’ iconic Old Skool and Sk8-Mid silhouettes, featuring BAPE’s signature camouflage prints and graphics.

The Old Skool model showcases a vibrant array of BAPE’s camo patterns across the quarter panels, with a distinctive vulcanized rubber design of BAPE’s Shark symbol on the forefoot. The Sk8-Mid incorporates the classic green camo canvas, reimagining Vans’ iconic Sidestripe with the integration of BAPE’s STA logo.

The latest collaboration adds to BAPE’s storied history of collaborations, having worked with adidas, Nike, Supreme, and other giants in sneakers and streetwear. The upcoming Vans x BAPE collection continues this tradition, celebrating the rebellious spirit of ‘90s streetwear that both brands embody.

The BAPE x Vans collection releases on July 27, 2024, at Vans.com, select Vans locations, and BAPE stores.
