New: Vans names SZA as their Artistic Director

VanSZA.

Vans just announced their multi-year creative partnership with SZA. As the brand’s Artistic Director, she will be working with Vans to reimagine upcoming campaigns and co-create exclusive product collections in line with her vision and the brand’s creative and youthful spirit.

SZA’s been around the music scene for a while now, and she truly brings authenticity to the table, creating space for both softness and powerful expression. Vans sees the essence of Off The Wall through her, with her creative styles and self-acceptance, all the while encouraging others to do the same.

“In Vans, I feel free!” says SZA. “I’ve been wearing Knu Skools and other styles for years, they’ve always had an ethos I connect with. As Artistic Director, my mission is to show that joy, community, creativity, and fashion are all still intersectional. That humanity, culture, and connection are still the access points. I’ve learned that bravery and curiosity are the cures for uncertainty, it’s a lifestyle and Vans champions that spirit. They stand where I stand, and I’m honored to invite a whole bunch of people to stand Off the Wall with us.❤️”

To launch their partnership, Vans released the campaign featuring SZA wearing the Knu Skool in black/white. The campaign was directed and photographed by Sophie Jones and styled by Alejandra Hernandez. 

For those not too familiar with the Knu Skool, the shoe first released back in 1997 as a reimagining of the classic Old Skool. While it looks eerily the same as its namesake, the Knu Skool features a puffed-up tongue and 3D sidestripe, all coming with chunky, oversized laces.

You too can get the Vans Knu Skool across all Vans Philippines stores nationwide or order online via their official online stores :
