For Vans, which is deeply influenced by street culture, music is definitely an integral part of the brand. The collection, which pays tribute to legendary rock musician David Bowie, will feature shoes, accessories and accessories for adults and children.
David Bowie (pronounced bo I /) is a distinguished British rock musician, songwriter, record producer and actor. His music played a pioneering role in the exploration of music and the whole music circle in the 1970s. Not only is his voice unique, but his work is famous for its depth, and he is known as “rock chameleon” for his prescient sense of leading fashion. David Bowie ranked seventh on the list of the top 100 rock musicians. Bowie is 29th in the BBC 100. He sold about 140 million music copies and was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. He died on January 10, 2016.
The entire David Bowie x Vans collaboration spans David Bowie’s entire artistic career, from the 1969 pop single “Space Oddity” to his final album, “Blackstar,” in 2016. Vans sk8-hi, Era, Old Skool, and Slip-On are infused with David Bowie’s colorful, Bohemian style.
The Vans Era is from David Bowie’s first single, “Space Oddity.” the song’s cover is defined by an impressive blue dot that marks the Era’s body and treads through the canvas. The entire style takes fans back to the ’60s David Bowie era.
The Vans slipon-47 V is the first shoe from the entire collection to come to light. It comes from 1971’s Hunky Dory and the album cover. It is a long, velvety fabric with a black, white and grey checkered heel and yellow suede in the middle. The “Hunky Dory” text appears with the same cover font on both the binding and the outsole hem.
The Vans Old Skool signature shoes were created with the exclusive, sleek leather, red giant lightning on the side from the album Aladdin Sane, one of David Bowie’s most iconic images, with the name David Bowie painted red and blue.
The entire black coverage of Vans slipon-on-body is designed from Blackstar, the legacy work before the fall of the great star in 2016. The cover of the cover is covered with a smooth penta-star material On the slipon-on-canvas toe, and the engraving On the outsole edge faithfully restates the meaning expressed by Blackstar. Inside, the concept of the Milky Way sky is created, giving a low-key sense of luxury.
Vans sk8-hi’s high-top Vans sk8-hi comes with two different pairs of shoes, one side infused with Vans’ iconic checker pattern, which combines Bowie text and a lightning bolt. The other pair, the sk8-hi Platform Platform Platform Platform, is based on the androgynous Ziggy Stardust character and is covered in a striking red patent leather emblazoned with “David Bowie” shades, a flamboyant re-creation of the flamboyant personality of the rock age.
Vans will also offer a wide range of accessories including short-sleeved t-shirts, long-sleeved t-shirts and hats. The classic image of David Bowie in the film “the other side of the world” will be presented as a print. The film is both a classic work of David Bowie on screen and an indelible mark on generations of people who pursue independence and uniqueness. This coincides with the Vans brand spirit that encourages creative expression.
