Maison Valentino has launched an exclusive collaboration with Vans, called the Valentino Garavani and Vans sneaker collection. The project combines Vans’ skate heritage with the Italian couture house’s distinctive identity.
The collection is currently available exclusively at Level Shoes in the Middle East, before its global rollout on the 19th of September.
The footwear was first revealed on the runway of Valentino’s Autumn/Winter 2025-26 collection, Le Méta Théâtre Des Intimités, presented in Paris in March under Creative Director Alessandro Michele.
The collaboration reinterprets Vans’ Authentic silhouette, a style first introduced in 1966. Retaining its sturdy canvas uppers, low-top design and the signature rubber waffle outsole, the sneaker has been reimagined through Michele’s creative lens. The collection comprises six variations for men and women, produced in different colourways and finished with co-branded insoles.
The collaboration is presented as a creative dialogue between two distinct brands, uniting a focus on authenticity with a shared vision of individuality.
