"Vans and Atiba Jefferson are once again joining forces, continuing their creative partnership with the release of the "United Through Skateboarding" collection. Jefferson, who was named Vans' Brand Curator last year, has used the role to fuse his deep love of skateboarding with his eye for culture and art, resulting in projects that are as much about storytelling as they are about footwear."
"Atiba Jefferson is no stranger to Vans or the culture it represents. With decades of experience documenting skateboarding's greatest moments, he has become synonymous with the visual language of the sport. This collaboration goes beyond simply putting his name on a shoe - it reflects a shared ethos between Jefferson and Vans, a commitment to authenticity, creativity, and the global skateboarding community."
"The "United Through Skateboarding" collection comprises three sneakers, each given a distinctive monochromatic treatment and designed to stand on its own while contributing to a cohesive story. Leading the charge is the Old Skool 36+ in a striking bright orange finish. This shoe channels Vans' classic heritage while offering a pop of color that's bold enough to turn heads both on and off the board."
"Next in the lineup is the Curren Caples, arriving in a fall-ready forest green. Its understated earth tone gives it a grounded, versatile feel, ideal for those who favor muted palettes with a touch of sophistication. Rounding out the trio is the Half Cab, one of Vans' most iconic skate silhouettes, presented here with a versatile off-white upper. Notably, this Half Cab iteration is equipped with Vans' WaffleCup outsole for the very first time, blending boardfeel with added support -"
Vans and Atiba Jefferson continue a creative partnership with the United Through Skateboarding collection, celebrating skateboarding's unifying spirit. Jefferson merges decades of skate photography experience with his role as Vans' Brand Curator to shape projects that emphasize authenticity, culture, and storytelling alongside footwear. The collection features three monochromatic sneakers: an Old Skool 36+ in bright orange that references Vans heritage; a Curren Caples in fall-ready forest green with an understated earth tone; and a Half Cab in off-white, marking the silhouette's first use of Vans' WaffleCup outsole to combine boardfeel with added support.
