Atiba Jefferson and Vans Celebrate Creativity with New Skateboarding Collection

Vans has reunited with Atiba Jefferson to release the "United Through Skateboarding" collection, a lineup that merges Jefferson’s creative vision with the brand’s deep skateboarding roots. This follows his successful photography-inspired Authentic 44 and his appointment as Vans’ Brand Curator in 2023.

A Tribute to Skateboarding and Creativity

The collaboration reflects Jefferson’s personal journey, blending influences from the streets and the studio. Each sneaker in the collection highlights his passion for skateboarding while incorporating unique design touches that set this release apart from previous Vans drops.

Three Unique Monochromatic Designs

The collection introduces three monochromatic sneakers, each with its own personality and design approach:

- A bold, bright orange Old Skool 36+, perfect for making a statement.
- A forest green Curren Caples, designed with fall-ready tones.
- An off-white Half Cab featuring a WaffleCup outsole for the first time, adding durability and versatility to the classic silhouette.

All three pairs also showcase custom logo and artwork by Haze, giving the sneakers an artistic edge that ties the collection together.

Availability and Pricing

The "United Through Skateboarding" collection is now available directly through Vans. Prices range between $80 and $95 USD, making the sneakers both collectible and accessible for skateboarding enthusiasts and streetwear fans alike.

Strengthening Vans’ Skateboarding Legacy

With this collaboration, Vans continues to highlight the creativity and cultural influence of figures like Atiba Jefferson. By celebrating skateboarding as a unifying force, the brand reinforces its position at the heart of street culture and performance footwear.
