Valentino x Vans
First collaboration

At the Valentino runway show this past Sunday, which is already drawing comparisons to Stanley Kubrick’s aesthetics and Michele’s past work at Gucci, the brand unveiled its first-ever collaboration with Vans. The runway debut showcased reimagined Vans Old School sneakers, now adorned with new colorways and Valentino’s iconic monogram, seamlessly merging high fashion with skate culture. This collaboration marks a significant moment for Valentino, reinforcing Alessandro Michele’s unique vision and ability to blend heritage craftsmanship with streetwear influences.
