Introducing the latest collaboration between Vans, a leading action sports footwear and apparel brand, and BEAMS, a renowned lifestyle select shop based in Harajuku, Tokyo. Scheduled for release on October 4, 2025, this unique sneaker line showcases a reimagining of classic styles with a nostalgic nod to the 80s and 90s tracksuit aesthetic.
The collection comprises two iconic Vans models: the Old Skool and the Authentic. Both styles draw inspiration from streetwear, featuring vintage design elements blended with modern twists. Notably, the sneakers' uppers are crafted from nylon material, providing both flexibility and durability. To enhance comfort and style, the toe cap, side, and tongue incorporate foam material, resulting in a voluminous silhouette that stands out.
Breathability is another highlight, with a mesh lining utilized for the interior, making these sneakers conducive to all-day wear. To add a touch of flair, the shoelaces feature reflective rope laces, ensuring that wearers can shine brightly even in low-light conditions.
A hand-drawn style logo is incorporated into the woven label on the tongue, evoking a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously presenting a sporty aura. Additionally, the iconic side stripe of the Old Skool is reimagined with a pinking cut, reminiscent of classic jersey materials, further emphasizing the retro theme of the collection.
The Vans x BEAMS collaboration is rooted in the timeless DNA that Vans is known for, yet it successfully marries modern, three-dimensional designs that appeal to fashion-savvy consumers. Fans of both brands can find the collection at select BEAMS locations (excluding certain shops) and through the official BEAMS online store.
