Vans and NASA collaborate on a sneaker collection

Vans revealed plans for a collection of its signature footwear
silhouettes in collaboration with NASA earlier this year, and has just
confirmed the collection’s release date for November 2. Done with a
very space-age aesthetic, the line will be centered around Vans
silhouettes Old Skool, Sk8-Hi MTE and Slip-On and will showcase the
NASA logo at the lateral, over the wording “John F. Kennedy Space
Center.”

To get even more into the retro NASA design style, Vans
incorporated space travel-related wording such as “Shuttle” and
“Mission” embroidered onto tabs at the tongue of the sneaker, and
removable American flag patches at the back.

Vans most recently collaborated with Disney in celebration of the
90th birthday of the iconic Mickey Mouse character. This collection
included sneakers and graphic T-shirts, all made in partnership with
four artists. NASA is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary and
has recently released three product collaborations, the most recent a
limited-edition watch made with Hong Kong-based design company
Anicorn. This summer, NASA launched a as well as a sneaker with Mercer Amsterdam.

The upcoming collaborative sneaker collection between Vans and NASA
will retail via Footlocker.
