Vans always had a good eye when it comes to commemorating legends and icons, and this time round, Vans will be commemorating the life and legacy of David Bowie with a unisex collection for both adults and toddlers. The collection is inspired by Bowie’s most influential works and colorful personas especially by the imagery of Bowie throughout his career from 1969’s Space Oddity to his final album in 2016 named Blackstar. The collection includes a five-piece apparel and accessories capsule where each style is designed to symbolize remarkable moments from the Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust album covers.
Each footwear silhouette from this collection represents Bowie differently. The Vans Classic Era pays homage to Bowie’s first hit single “Space Oddity“, the Slip-On 47 V is inspired by the coat seen on Bowie on the Hunky Dory album network, the Sk8-Hi Platform 2.0 pays tribute to Bowie’s glam rock alter-ego Ziggy Stardust, Bowie’s Aladdin Sane album is reflected on the Vans Old Skool silhouette while David Bowie’s last album Blackstar is highlighted across the Vans Classic Slip-On silhouette. The younger fans of David Bowie are given a chance to pay their respects as well with a two-pair collection that includes a pair of Sk8-Hi Zip and Old Skool V, that matches the Bowie and Aladdin Sane adult styles.
