Guys, get ready: Valentino has finally launched the campaign for its highly anticipated collaboration with Vans. The collection first debuted at the Fall/Winter 2025 “Le Méta Théâtre Des Intimités” runway show in Paris, and now the shoes that redefine classic street style are available for everyone.
The collaboration is based on the legendary Vans Authentic, featuring a low-top design and the signature “waffle” rubber sole, reimagined through Alessandro Michele’s vision. The canvas uppers come in new colors and original prints, and each pair features co-branded insoles. The collection includes six unique variations, designed for both men and women.
Particular attention goes to the Valentino Le Chat de la Maison motif — a symbol of bold yet elegant individuality, available exclusively at Valentino and Vans flagship stores. Each pair comes in special packaging where the iconic Vans checkerboard pattern is reworked with a Valentino VLogo twist.
This isn’t just a collaboration — it’s a contrast play: Vans’ bold street vibe meets Valentino’s refined luxury. For sneaker and fashion enthusiasts, this is the event of the year: from colors and prints to packaging and details, every pair showcases a style that boldly breaks the rules while staying elegant.
If you’re looking for shoes that combine freedom of expression with design precision, Valentino x Vans is the perfect choice. This collaboration proves that fashion for real men can be bold, daring, and incredibly stylish.
