Vans and BAPE Team Up for a Streetwear Mashup Featuring the Old Skool and Sk8-Mid Models
Surf and streetwear collide!
Vans and the legendary Japanese brand A BATHING APE (BAPE®) are joining forces to launch a limited-edition collection that injects California cool with a dose of Harajuku flair.
This fresh collab reimagines two Vans classics: the Old Skool and the Sk8-Mid. Each shoe boasts a unique blend of Vans’ heritage and BAPE®’s signature style. BAPE®’s iconic camo takes center stage on the sides, while the toe box features bold “A BATHING APE®” lettering and a fierce ape head charm on the laces.
Old Skool: BAPE’s camo explodes across the sides in vibrant pink, blue, and green. A fierce shark-tooth graphic bites onto the white forefoot, while an ape head charm chills on the laces. Vans’ classic stripe gets a BAPE makeover with their STA logo.
Sk8-Mid: BAPE’s signature green camo takes over the sides. “A BATHING APE” and “Off the Wall” shout out from the black vamp, alongside the ape head charm and the revamped Vans stripe featuring BAPE’s STA logo.
The BAPE® x Vans collection drops on 26 July at Vans online and BAPE® locations priced at US$109 for the Old Skool and US$115 for the Sk8-Mid.
