Vans Classics harnesses the power of the force for their latest collaboration with Star Wars for the summer.
The much anticipated collection combines vintage Vans' prints with artwork from the original Stars Wars triology over the timeless Authentic, Slip-On and Sk8-Hi silhouettes. The Authentic is introduced in a camo-covered design featuring Boba Fett, along with a paisley-covered pair featuring Stormtrooper characters. The Authentic is also introduced in a Hawaiian-inspired take featuring Yoda to match the limited edition Sk8-Hi also done up as part of the collaboration.
Original poster artwork from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope adorns the classic Slip-On by Vans, while Star Wars comic book-inspired graphics cover the Era's upper. Matching apparel and accessories will also be released as part of the collection this July.
Enjoy an exclusive preview below, and look for the Star Wars x Vans Classics Collection to release this Sunday, June 1st at select Vans retailers and Vans.com/StarWars.
