The Proenza Schouler x Vans Slip-On is a stunning collaboration that seamlessly blends SoCal skate culture with the urban sophistication of New York City. This highly anticipated partnership marks the first sneaker venture for renowned label Proenza Schouler, and the results are nothing short of extraordinary.
Available in three contemporary colorways – Black, Ecru (white) and Resin – each pair features premium leather construction and unique puffed padding that takes the classic Vans slip-on silhouette to new heights. The collaboration effortlessly blends skate and high fashion design language to deliver a noticeably reworked sneaker that still pays homage to its traditional look.
The attention to detail in this collaboration is evident throughout, from the glossed sidewalls to the custom Proenza Schouler footbeds. But the most striking feature is undoubtedly the added cushioning that wraps around the entire upper of each shoe, creating a bold and eye-catching aesthetic.
This design choice fits perfectly with the ongoing oversized shoe trend that has been particularly kind to Vans in recent years. The brand has seen tremendous success with modern iterations like the Vans Knu Skool, and the Proenza Schouler x Vans Slip-On is poised to further fuel this fashion-forward movement.
The Black and Ecru colorways of the Proenza Schouler x Vans Slip-On are now available in unisex sizes at otw.vans.com and proenzaschouler.com and retail for $200. For those seeking an exclusive touch, the resin colorway is available exclusively at proenzaschouler.com and the Proenza Schouler flagship store at 121 Greene Street in NYC.
