SZA and Vans collaboration collection launch

Overview

R&B artist SZA, serving as Artistic Director for Vans, has unveiled her first collaborative collection titled ‘VANSZA’. The collection, scheduled to launch on October 22, 2026, includes footwear, apparel, and accessories.

Key footwear items include the Premium Knu Skool Mule and the Premium Authentic Kickdown. The Kickdown model features a collapsible heel designed to be worn as a slip-on, a detail SZA noted was inspired by her habit of stepping on the backs of her shoes. The collection incorporates motifs such as butterflies, fish, and sea creatures, drawing inspiration from nature and vintage outdoor or workwear silhouettes.

Products will be available through Vans online stores and select retail locations, including the Vans store in Shinsaibashi PARCO, Japan. The collection also features custom artwork by Sage Adams.
