Vans pays homage to the great David Bowie with a new capsule collection featuring four of their most iconic silhouettes; theĀ Slip-On 47 V DX,Ā Era,Ā Old Skool, andĀ Sk8-Hi models. Drawing influence from Bowieā€™s most notorious works, including famed albums Space Oddity,Ā Hunky Dory,Ā Ziggy Stardust, andĀ Aladdin Sane, Vans has done a great job of capturing the essence of the legendary artist in each of the four iterations. The Slip-On 47 V DX features the essence of Hunky Dory, dousing the sneaker in a vibrant yellow suede, mixing it up with a checkerboard faux fur, lastly emblazoning the sole with the albumā€™s title. The Era draws inspiration from Space Oddity, featuring an all over print reminiscent of the albumā€™s cover and with ā€œSpaceā€ marked on the lateral portion of the Sole. The Old Skool and Sk8-Hi models feature an ode to his alternate persona Ziggy Stardust, utilizing lightning bolt prints and embroidery to portray Bowieā€™s alter ego. These are rumored to be dropping on April 5th via Vanā€™s web store and other select retailers with prices set between $65 (USD) and $80 (USD).
