Vans Made a Sneaker Collection David Bowie Would Be Proud Of

We don’t care who you are, or what music you grew up on–the Thin White Duke made some of the greatest music of all time during his tenure on Earth. Whether you prefer that persona or Ziggy Stardust, there’s no denying that David Bowie was one of the greatest musicians of all time, so it’s about damned time that one of the great sneaker makers built a few pairs worthy of his legacy. Vans is the perfect manufacturer to pick up Bowie’s punk runk ethos for a sneaker collection that even the Duke would be proud of. According to Esquire, the line will include four of “Vans’ most popular silhouettes, the Slip-On 47 V DX, Old Skool, Era, and Sk8-Hi, each customized in colorways inspired by some of Bowie’s most beloved albums—Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Space Oddity, and Diamond Dogs.” The Vans x David Bowie inspired collaboration will be launching in select Vans stores internationally on April 5th. We’ll be wearing each of the options on a rotating basis if the opportunity presents itself.
