Vans and SZA have introduced the first drop of their collaboration, VANSZA, featuring footwear and apparel inspired by the natural world and SZA’s unique aesthetic.

The collection includes two main footwear designs: the VANSZA Knu Skool Mule and the VANSZA Authentic Kickdown, alongside a variety of apparel and accessories emphasizing bold designs and sensory details.

SZA highlighted her preference for slide-on shoes, driven by a desire for comfort and accessibility, stating her mother’s long-standing disapproval of her stepping on the back of her shoes influenced the design choices.

The campaign was photographed in California’s natural landscapes by India Sleem, featuring models including Vans Skate Team rider Zion Wright and SZA’s niece, Savannah Rowe.

The VANSZA Drop 1 collection will be released on October 22, 2026, with a follow-up, Drop 2, set for April 8, 2027, available through the Vans webstore.
The collection promotes self-expression and comfort, with an emphasis on accessibility through design.
A commitment to incorporating natural elements into the designs aligns with current sustainable fashion trends.
