Alltimers and Vans Throw Convention Out the Window

The new silhouette arrives with a subtle debossed Alltimers martini logo on the heel and a Vans debossed logo on the tongue as an ode to the partnership between the two brands. Other collaborative details include Vans Skateboarding x Alltimers co-branded laces in three colors, red, blue, or silver, as well as a molded hangtag and Bacchus imagery on the footbed that nods to the matching apparel capsule. Built with fresh materials and new technology, including the new supercharged ImpactWaffle™ construction, the Zahba speaks to the brands’ mutual commitment to sustainability.

Regenerative, renewable, recycled materials make up at least 30% of the shoe’s construction. The dual-density midsole is made with EVA foam partially derived from plants. The new outsole features SickStick™ rubber, which is made with at least 55% responsibly sourced natural rubber obtained from sources that follow proven sustainable practices to reduce environmental impacts.

The chosen materials also provides perfect flexibility and board feel. The upper is made of minimal panels and the one-piece vamp skaters know and love—a rubberized toecap for added durability and DURACAP™ stitch reinforcement to protect high-wear areas.

The Zahba collab launches globally via Alltimers, Vans, and select Vans Skate retailers this week.

A Human-Animal Connection: Collina Strada x Vans

This collaboration with Vans might be the most personal for Creative Director and Founder of Collina Strada, Hillary Taymour. Taymour grew up outside. When she wasn't horseback riding, she was surfing, or skating. The Vans slip-on reminded her of a house shoe for outside. The design was easy, stylish, the most practical choice of shoe. To imbue the classic collection with the fun Collina spirit, Taymour had everyone in the studio draw their "dream house." The doodles were then used as prints for the collaboration. “I grew up in Southern California and I’ve been wearing Vans my whole life,” said Hillary. “I wore slip-ons skateboarding on the pier and to the barn before putting on my boots, so it is such an hour to get to create a collection with the brand.”

The Vans x Collina Strada collection will be available globally beginning February 10, 2023 at Collinastrada.com, Vans.com, select Vans retail stores worldwide. The Old Skool Vibram DX in the sweet lilac colorway is exclusive to Vans retail locations, Vans.com, Collinastrada.com and SSENSE.

Coco Capitán Makes Sure We're Never Lost at Sea

The collection calls attention to the issue of climate change and necessity for sustainability, a factor important to both Capitán and the brand. More than 80% of the collection is manufactured with deadstock materials or organic cotton. “I decided to launch my first Capitana collection in collaboration with 8 by YOOX because I share with the brand the same values in terms of attention to the environment,” said Coco Capitán. “YOOX has been able to develop and bring to life my idea to recycle waste materials and fabrics, using techniques and suppliers that share our same ideals.”

Unisex basics are reimagined through a modern lens that brings into focus freedom of expression and uniqueness. Reinterpreted in a contemporary way, the sweatshirts, pajama suits, and t-shirts part of this collection are designed for travelers in search of creativity. Each of the pieces are hand embroidered with cheeky phrases like: Lost Loser, Gei, Live Like You Are Gonna Die Cause You Gonna, and other call-out statements. In addition to the easy-to-wear separates, the collab offers practical objects designed for a home on the sea.
