After teasing a first look last month, the much-awaited full look of the collaboration between Vans and Harry Potter has finally been unveiled and is set to release tomorrow morning at 10AM EST (June 7).
The collection features sneakers in honour of each of the four Hogwarts houses, reflecting each house’s distinctive personality. The Gryffindor-themed Sk8-Hi comes with red and gold stripes across its black upper, with a contrasting black Jazz Stripe and muted white midsole. The stand-out feature is the house’s lion crest, which comes as a patch on the medial side. The Slytherin‘s Era references the house’s snake crest with a scale-style pattern across the upper, as well as some black and dark green leather construction and a motif on the tongue tag.
The Ravenclaw-inspired Checkerboard Authentic is a signature blue complete with matching laces and touches of bronze on alternating squares under a crest-branded tongue tag. The Hufflepuff-infused Slip-On is one of the more understated options: an all-black upper subverted by subtle yellow stripes, along with a crest stitched over the front.
Aside from house sneakers, the collection also features an extra ComfyCush Era style, just in case you really can’t choose a house. The silhouette is covered in clippings from the Daily Prophet, the biggest newspaper of J.K. Rowling‘s magical world. There is also a Sk8-Hi of an iridescent blue colourway, finished with lightning bolts printed on the upper.
As for the clothes, there’s a selection of jackets, hoodies, and T-shirts that get stamped with coordinating graphics referencing the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Deathly Hallows is immortalised with a sleek black nylon jacket and shoes. The Four Horsemen are acted out in a sporty white sweater. The Vans‘ Old Skool backpacks top it all off as matching accessories.
