Vans just enlisted the help of some major music acts for their new spring 2026 campaign titled “Off the Wall.”
The footwear retailer brought on SZA, Hayley Williams, Travis Barker and Franz Lyons of Turnstile to model their latest Authentic styles alongside skateboarders Lizzie Armanto and T-Funk. Each person seemed to effortlessly embody the Vans branding, whether that be through their grungy aesthetics or skateboarding occupation, a pastime that is very near and dear to the brand’s ethos. “Off The Wall reflects how Vans moves through culture: how it creates, how it connects, and how it evolves,” the Vans press release reads. “Each individual featured embodies that mindset, completely unique, yet hardwired to create their own noise. Builders and breakers. Originals and outsiders.”
In any case, the campaign featured a slew of lace-up styles new to the brand that can be shopped on Vans’ website now. Ample sizing is available for both men and women. The iconic canvas silhouette now features a range of colorful options, including whimsical floral prints, alongside the standard yet always fun checkerboard pattern in shades of pink, green, or red. The checkerboard styles launched today, while the printed models will be launching April 2.
The classic lace-up is near and dear to many folks’ hearts. On the musician front alone, you’ve got stars like BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Olivia Rodrigo and SZA that have worn low-top Vans on and off for years, and it’s easy to see why. The shoe has that certain swagger that’s synonymous with moshing, hitting an Ollie or playing through a punk-rock set with friends.
The shoe is carefree and easy to wear, popularized by skateboarders, surfers and punk and emo subgenres. These new canvas silhouettes are much more playful, imbued with tons of color that make them great for spring. The canvas is forgiving and easy to clean if you do happen to dirty them up — although, Vans look best all scuffed up in our opinion. Each shoe is equipped with non-slip rubber soles and lace-up closures for an adjustable fit. The loud prints and patterns are meant to stand-out, serving as a statement shoe especially when worn with your classic jeans and tee attire.
