Valentino Debuts Vans Collaboration for Fall/Winter 2025 Collection
Published
As we’ve seen in the last half-decade, the fusion of sportswear, lifestyle, and high fashion has become a fashion industry staple. Every global fashion event presents a collaboration between a traditional luxury fashion house and brands that you wouldn’t associate with high-brow fashion, the latest being Valentino and Vans.
The 65-year-old fashion house partnered with Vans on the latter’s Authentic silhouette, seen in four different colorways that each hit the runway over the weekend. All opt for a graphic pattern-laden upper, some leaning into Vans’ iconic checkerboard pattern and others presenting a fusion of Valenino and Vans logos. The white-based colorway has a tonal canvas upper, contrasting red and blue logos plastered across the upper, reading “I love my Vans” with Valentino and heart logos.

Two pairs come with a traditional checkerboard pattern that adds Valentino’s V logo to the design, one seen in black and pink and the other in black and red. Finally, the fourth colorway features a split design, adding a green and black checkerboard to the back half of the sneaker and a floral print to the black canvas toecap. All the pairs come complete with a white vulcanized rubber midsole.
The Valentino x Vans Collection will release during the Fall/Winter 2025 season through Valentino and possibly Vans and select retailers.
