Gentlemen, take note! Fall and winter 2025 are shaping up to be hot for street style fans. BEAMS and Vans have teamed up once again to bring us something special: new versions of the legendary Old Skool and Authentic, inspired by jersey colors and sporty aesthetics.
At first glance, these are familiar silhouettes, but the details make them completely modern. The upper is made of nylon with foam inserts on the toe, sides, and tongue — giving the sneakers volume and a 3D structure, as if they’re ready to jump straight from the court to the street. Inside, the mesh lining ensures breathability, keeping them comfortable even during long urban walks.
The tongue labels feature a handwritten logo — a small detail that immediately sets this collaboration apart from the crowd. The white midsole and Vans’ iconic waffle outsole provide perfect grip on any surface, while reflective rope laces add style and extra safety in low light.
Color options are limited to two choices: BEAMS Black/True White and BEAMS Navy/True White — clean, bold, and impactful. Prices reflect the quality: ¥13,200 (about $90) for the Old Skool and ¥12,100 (about $80) for the Authentic. Release dates haven’t been announced yet, but keep your eyes peeled — these sneakers sell out fast.
If you appreciate Vans classics but are looking for something fresh and voluminous that fits seamlessly into an urban gentleman’s wardrobe, this collaboration is exactly what you need. BEAMS and Vans have proven that even legendary models can get a bold, new perspective while remaining highly functional.
City, street, fall 2025 — be ready to stand out. And remember: these aren’t just sneakers, they’re style that moves with you.
