Your support makes all the difference.David Bowie fans now have a whole new way to channel their adoration for the legendary British musician.
Vans has released a special unisex collection that pays homage to the Starman’s trademark flamboyant style.
The capsule collection consists of six pairs of trainers, three tops and two hats, all of which take inspiration from Bowie’s best-selling albums and corresponding alter-egos.
There’s the skate shoe with blue and green cylindrical shapes that match those on the Space Oddity album cover, the red patent hi-tops that are a celebration of Ziggy Stardust, and the retro-looking red and cream sneakers inspired by Bowie’s famous Aladdin Sane album cover.
Some of the shoe styles are also available in sizes suitable for toddlers, so parents can bring their kids up as die-hard Bowie fans from the get-go.
As for the clothes, expect two graphic T-shirts emblazoned with memorable Bowie album covers and a long-sleeved jumper featuring a black and white photograph of the beloved musician with “BOWIE” written above in bold scarlet text.
Then, there are are the two baseball hats, perfect for those who want to spend a day out in the springtime sunshine while commemorating one of Britain’s artistic and sartorial icons.
Currently, the collection is only available online on Vans’ US website, where prices range from $24 (£18) – for the hats – to $85 (£64) for the red patent hi-tops.
The Vans x David Bowie collection is available now for a limited time online and in select stores
