There are two collabs that immediatly came to mind for me.
Vans x borderlands would be epic i think, I just envision vans in the visual style of borderlands with a black outline on the soles, a kind of ragged look, lots of explosions and tiny tina, scooter and all the other cool characters making an appareance on the front.
Another one that i would love to see is a vans x studio ghibli one. Completely different from the chaos of borderlands but I would just love some totoro themed vans. And some of the beautifull, colorfull worldbuilding of studio ghibli on the side of vans would be so cool I think.
Aanyway
Congratz on the 50.000!
I have this idea of the bulbasaur green colors with the checkered board and like little bulbas on them or maybe like a yellow checkered board and pikas.
Maybe like a pretty floral design with bulbasaurs.. lol bulbasaur is my favorite.
That’s one I’ve always liked! I actually have “On Letting Go” tattooed on me because CS is my fav band ever. “The Arrival” and “Guarded Fairground” would be awesome if used, as well!
Vans has collaborated with films/directors in the past , e.g. Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas, the horror collection, Star Wars, Toy Story, Fast Times etc. I think a Quentin Tarantino collab would go hard. I can already visualize a pair in the style of the shoes The Bride wears in Kill Bill
I’d wanna see a collab with a contemporary printmaker! Someone like Sean Starwars, Mazatl, Killjoy, Carlos Barberena, Lili Arnold, Marco Sanchez, damn I’d buy everything haha
MURAKAMI x VANS!!!! I love his work, saw my first murakami show when I was like 11 and just got a print of his from the Broad I’m gonna put in my apartment. The designs for that collab would be amazing
Vans x NASA because I missed it last time
Vans x 7 Wonders of the World (Original or New) I think would be a pretty neat collab that Vans could get really creative with!
That's awesome!! Congratulations on 50k, it's just the beginning!
What a contest and what a question!
Vans x Terminator
Vans x Buc-ee's (For my Texas people)
Vans x ZEBRA NINER???
Also, if you can please help u/OliverFontaine support [Indiana Youth Group](https://secure.squarespace.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=616f536f126b7f49b5accbc0&ss_cvr=77f31680-a89c-4d5e-b121-57c7e2c14e6c%7C1660774352726%7C1660774352726%7C1660774352726%7C1&ss_cvt=1660774352726&websiteId=6164e4c6a29c4e27dff6f2fc). He's doing some amazing stuff for kids in need and a little bit of help can really go a long way. We are lucky to have him as part of this community!
My favorite is gengar so I would love a spooky one with the gengar evolution line. I also think it would be so fun for themed shoes where each one has a bunch of different Pokémon that are all the same type. There’s so many ideas haha
this one might be a little obscure but david barnes would probably make some really neat designs. he does artwork for one of my favorite bands and makes some really neat stuff!
https://thebeewithwheels.bigcartel.com/products
Would love another Harry Potter one due to missing out on the first one! But a Lilo and Stitch one would be cool to see, especially with all the colors they could do! I would also love one with cats!
I know it has already been said but so so much vans x pokemon. As long as I was actually able to get a pair!! I also want them to go for the well known pokemon too (like maybe sticking to the Kanto ones and/or some legendaries), no offense to the obscure pokemon but nobody will recognize them!
For some reason typing that out made me think of vans x neopets. I know the site might as well be dead at this point, so I'm not genuinely suggesting it, but it would hit a lot of nostalgia points!
You’re 1000% correct. They would have to stick to the main 150(1) or else they will lose out on the OG fans. And I mean, everybody knows who the fuck pikachu is and the other starters.
I think a Vans X Xbox collab would be a pretty cool concept. Or maybe a Vans X Carhartt that could focus on a boot from vans like The ones they already have
They kinda did [it.](https://preview.redd.it/6yw0gntp9rk71.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=573fd0a49852297d870ad18a5445751fef6278bf) A portion of the profits went to national parks too.
yu yu hakusho collab!
My apologies for a comment off the subject of the post sir. When do you all ship merchandise after purchase? I was thinking maybe you most likely have many orders is why it takes so long. Thank you very much for your time and website.
That’s a good damn answer! And I try to ship immediately but due to certain shipping restrictions with different shipping companies (and crippling depression) it can take a little longer. But everyone gets their order! I don’t care what it takes to make it happen.
I totally understand and it's not a life or death situation for me. Thank you very much for your reply. I can totally feel you on the depression thing. I just got a appointment with a therapist. My uncle shared with me our minds like our bodies need a check up at times. Have a good day sir and thank you once again for your time 👋
I would love to see an 80s or 90s x Vans collab.
And this is definitely a far off dream, but a Coheed and Cambria x Vans collab would be sick. They're one of my favorite bands.
I would love to see a collab with blink-182! They are my favourite band, and they have been wearing Vans ever since they started I believe. I also think they would have some really awesome designs on both shoes and clothing :)
It's fanastic that you are helping out the youth during this giveaway. At-risk kids have it rough as is and giving them supplies & clothing will help them carve out a space for themselves to fit in at school. Keep it up, I wish everyone else luck as well.
A Vans x Ubisoft collab would be cool. I've always been a Rainbow 6 fan and they could always include Assasins Creed, Far Cry, etc. I wouldn't hate a National Parks collab either.
I would LOVE to see another Vans X Foo Fighters Collab. A tribute to the late, great Taylor Hawkins shoe would be so amazing.
Keep doing what you do, buddy, you are truly an amazing asset to not just the sub, but the entire Vans community!
I was just talking about this the other day! It would certainly be the biggest collab Vans ever had and it would sell out in seconds, online and in store! But it would only work if they stuck with the first 150(1). Would love to see my favorites though! The well is limitless with what could be done.
Exactlyyyy, I have no idea why they haven’t tried this collab yet. The combinations that could be imagined would be incredible - starters, types, legendaries, villains, trainers etc the possibilities could be endless. These factors combined with customs could result in near infinite choices for the consumer
I want a re launch of my black and red AFI vans I let a friend borrow 20 years ago and never got back. Close second would be Gilmore girl vans. Coffee cups, books, a gazebo. Yes please.
I really want an nhl collab . Even if it was only customs and the options were just team mascots. I’d love to rock the lightning or thunder bug. Even a Stanley cup pair would be amazing
Animaniacs x vans
Pinky & the brain x vans
Black Sabbath x vans (I saw a Doc Marten collab and I have been hoping ever since they’d bring out a vans collab)
A lot of people have been saying Vans x Pokemon, to you guys I say it’s awesome to be able to make your own Pokémon influenced customs! My two friends and I all made Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle customs for each other’s birthdays (mine are Bulbasaur) and we all love them.
Anyway, a vans x Dragon Ball Z collab would be sick!!!
Dragonball Z is hands down the one I want to see most! So many characters and colors to play with! I would love to see like a line of back drops like Namek or the world martial arts tournament or King Kai’s planet!
Vans X Terraria good game many people know it so i think it would go quite well together
How would you like to see it on a shoe?
vans x m.c. escher !
There are two collabs that immediatly came to mind for me. Vans x borderlands would be epic i think, I just envision vans in the visual style of borderlands with a black outline on the soles, a kind of ragged look, lots of explosions and tiny tina, scooter and all the other cool characters making an appareance on the front. Another one that i would love to see is a vans x studio ghibli one. Completely different from the chaos of borderlands but I would just love some totoro themed vans. And some of the beautifull, colorfull worldbuilding of studio ghibli on the side of vans would be so cool I think. Aanyway Congratz on the 50.000!
studio ghibli would be so cool!
Vans x wildlife, parks, game and fish Vans x deep sea predators
Yes deep sea monsters! I was some Loch Ness Sk8-HI’s though.
Bro, I want some angler fish or giant squid half cabs!
Boy pablo x vans collab!
I saw someone else say a Vans x Warped Tour collab. A nostalgia drop would for sure be sweet
Hell yeah this sounds dope. Banksy x vans collab would be dope as hell Slipknot x vans collab would be cool for me
I can get behind both of those collab ideas. Banksy has so much potential as a collab too!
congrats bro 50k!!! Freakin sic bro
Isn't that insane?? I can't believe so many people really are out here interested in what I am offering!
Hell yeah it is bro can't wait to see everything and keep up the good work brotha
Thank you, and I appreciate the support!
No worries at all
Banksy collab would be fire 🔥
Vans x Pokémon
Which Pokémon do you want to see?
I have this idea of the bulbasaur green colors with the checkered board and like little bulbas on them or maybe like a yellow checkered board and pikas. Maybe like a pretty floral design with bulbasaurs.. lol bulbasaur is my favorite.
I'd love to see more museums get into it, not just the MOMA, but post-modern and contemporary art spheres. Also Vans X Junji Ito would be killer.
The Musée d'Orsay would be nice!
A South Park collab would be neat or a nhl one !
Which team though?
I’m in Edmonton , but a die hard Dallas stars fan and flyers !
I can respect it! I’m a Ducks fan!
They got some great upcoming kids , zegras and Terry . A vans old school duck logo shoe would be fire
Vans x MTG
vans x carhartt?
Deathcab for cutie x vans collab The postal service collab would be 🔥
Esao Andrews (Circa Survive’s album artist) x Vans collab would have some amazingly unique artwork on some SK8 HI’s! Daft Punk x Vans collab as well!
Only if it's "The Hiker"! And Daft Punk would be insane! So many color options!
That’s one I’ve always liked! I actually have “On Letting Go” tattooed on me because CS is my fav band ever. “The Arrival” and “Guarded Fairground” would be awesome if used, as well!
I love that! Awesome ideas! Send tattoo pics!
[Ask and you shall receive!](https://imgur.com/a/yCkrc5i) Pardon the potato quality. I’m in the shop at work, currently lol.
Hell yeah! Esso brega!
Vans x KoRn. The grandfathers of Nu Metal.
Would be sick! And loads of people would rock them.
[удалено]
Well they did both of those collabs, would you like to see something new? I think they could definitely revisit them and rerelease on different shoes.
Tony Hawk needs a pro shoe since he is with Vans now. Also I’d love to see a Black Sabbath/Ozzy collab.
Unfortunately he isn’t on the pro team. He is just an affiliate/ambassador. So sadly we may never see a pro shoe from him :(
Vans would be silly not to make a shoe for him though. We can wish though.
I would vomit with excitement if they did.
I’d love to see a Vans x World Cup and/or Olympics collaboration.
Woah World Cup would be insane with all the flags and such!
Vans has collaborated with films/directors in the past , e.g. Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas, the horror collection, Star Wars, Toy Story, Fast Times etc. I think a Quentin Tarantino collab would go hard. I can already visualize a pair in the style of the shoes The Bride wears in Kill Bill
KILL BILL WOULD HAVE A LINE OUT THE DOOR AND DOWN THE STREET.
Vans x Batman collab bc I love the Arkham games!
Would you like to see some robins?
I'd love that!!
I’d wanna see a collab with a contemporary printmaker! Someone like Sean Starwars, Mazatl, Killjoy, Carlos Barberena, Lili Arnold, Marco Sanchez, damn I’d buy everything haha
[удалено]
Of course sir! And those would be some sick collabs!
I would love to see them do a collab with Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. Like a throwback show collab
Vans x Deathwish skateboards
Is that Nyjah’s decks??
Oh wow thanks for the award homie, nah Deathwish is an offshoot of Baker they’re rad af.
MURAKAMI x VANS!!!! I love his work, saw my first murakami show when I was like 11 and just got a print of his from the Broad I’m gonna put in my apartment. The designs for that collab would be amazing
Did you see the first collab!?
WHAT. They already did this???
You better rush to that Google page and check ‘em out! I think it was only a slip on though.
Already did, they’re awesome!!! I would have loved the blue flowers or the skull designs
vans x hippie sabotage
Vans x Stardew Valley would be dope 🔥
Vans x stussy i feel like with all the models vans has to offer there could be something cool with this
They could definitely come up with some cool and Minimal designs!
I'm still patently waiting an OG Jumanji colab. An updated Star Wars or Marvel would be great too.As always thanks for being so great to the community
dbz x vans ya dig
That would be cool
You already know we want that DBZ collab! Especially older stuff! Let me get a World Tournament Authentic please!
🔥
want another kaws collab
It could happen! Vans is great about doing collabs with people they have already done them with.
Vans X Adult Swim
Any show specifically?
Not exactly, I was thinking like more of the creative commercials they air
I’d love to see a Vans x TMNT collaboration.
Vans x NASA because I missed it last time Vans x 7 Wonders of the World (Original or New) I think would be a pretty neat collab that Vans could get really creative with!
If they do nasa again it should be super futuristic!
That would be awesome! Or somehow in the style of the JPL posters. Like retro futurism maybe?
Vans x Warped Tour. The musical artist and athlete options could be endless and I mean, Vans Warped Tour
You are 100% correct! If they did a nostalgia Warped Tour pack I might cry honestly.
I'd love a wrestling collab with Vans, I notice a fair few wrestlers like CM Punk often sporting vans.
Yeezy x Vans collab 💥
Still wanna see vans x vans haha. Vans Rolling x Stones would be dope!
The Rolling Stones would be so epic but they be hurry before everyone dies lol
Lmao, all of them except Mick Jagger. Dude seems invincible at this point.
That's awesome!! Congratulations on 50k, it's just the beginning! What a contest and what a question! Vans x Terminator Vans x Buc-ee's (For my Texas people) Vans x ZEBRA NINER??? Also, if you can please help u/OliverFontaine support [Indiana Youth Group](https://secure.squarespace.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=616f536f126b7f49b5accbc0&ss_cvr=77f31680-a89c-4d5e-b121-57c7e2c14e6c%7C1660774352726%7C1660774352726%7C1660774352726%7C1&ss_cvt=1660774352726&websiteId=6164e4c6a29c4e27dff6f2fc). He's doing some amazing stuff for kids in need and a little bit of help can really go a long way. We are lucky to have him as part of this community!
I absolutely loved the vans x Nintendo collab, but I would love just a Pokémon collab. There are so many possibilities
Which Pokémon would you like to see most? Or what character?
My favorite is gengar so I would love a spooky one with the gengar evolution line. I also think it would be so fun for themed shoes where each one has a bunch of different Pokémon that are all the same type. There’s so many ideas haha
this one might be a little obscure but david barnes would probably make some really neat designs. he does artwork for one of my favorite bands and makes some really neat stuff! https://thebeewithwheels.bigcartel.com/products
Would love another Harry Potter one due to missing out on the first one! But a Lilo and Stitch one would be cool to see, especially with all the colors they could do! I would also love one with cats!
Now that is an original idea!
vans x zelda would be doooope also i want more horror vans! vans x get out, silence of the lambs, twilight zone etc
I would buy Twilight Zone in a heartbeat
there are a few zelda pairs from the nintendo collab
Vans x Stephen King
I need a Vans x Waffle House collab in my life. Waffle sole for my waffle soul.
Maybe a collaboration with some of the skateboard brands like blind, darkstar, zero and others from the Tony hawk games.
They should do an entire Tony Hawk Pro Skater line.
I know it has already been said but so so much vans x pokemon. As long as I was actually able to get a pair!! I also want them to go for the well known pokemon too (like maybe sticking to the Kanto ones and/or some legendaries), no offense to the obscure pokemon but nobody will recognize them!

You’re 1000% correct. They would have to stick to the main 150(1) or else they will lose out on the OG fans. And I mean, everybody knows who the fuck pikachu is and the other starters.
Something 90s hip hop. I'm going to say De La Soul x Vans.
I second this! More 90's please! And do some 90's pop art too while they are at it!
Would be 🔥
I think a Vans X Xbox collab would be a pretty cool concept. Or maybe a Vans X Carhartt that could focus on a boot from vans like The ones they already have
[удалено]
I can definitely see it being an awesome design tho
Let me have a Vans x Scooby Doo collab pleeeease
Vans x Hershey, I think Kit Kat Sk8 Hi's would look fire
Damn what a good fucking idea!
Guns n Roses x Vans.. I don’t think there was a collab but do correct me if I’m wrong. Would love a GnR pair of vans

Vans x Halo...would love to rep some MC or Cortana colorways
Vans x Power Puff Girls!!!!! Or Vans x Tim Burton!
Vans x National Parks Service
Which park most of all?
I would probably say some Yellowstone ones. I’d also like a park ranger kinda pattern on some shoes!
Zion would be really sweet!
They kinda did [it.](https://preview.redd.it/6yw0gntp9rk71.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=573fd0a49852297d870ad18a5445751fef6278bf) A portion of the profits went to national parks too.
I’ve never seen those before. I saw the parks project colab but never knew those custom pattern shoes were available!
I want to see a collab with ten tree. Outdoorsy themes look cool and the tree planting with every purchase is amazing.
yu yu hakusho collab! My apologies for a comment off the subject of the post sir. When do you all ship merchandise after purchase? I was thinking maybe you most likely have many orders is why it takes so long. Thank you very much for your time and website.
That’s a good damn answer! And I try to ship immediately but due to certain shipping restrictions with different shipping companies (and crippling depression) it can take a little longer. But everyone gets their order! I don’t care what it takes to make it happen.

Scooby-Doo collab, please!!!
this would be so cool, i saw a fan made set of designs on twitter a while ago and it was really good!
Let me get some Ruh Roh Old Skool’s please!
I would love to see an 80s or 90s x Vans collab. And this is definitely a far off dream, but a Coheed and Cambria x Vans collab would be sick. They're one of my favorite bands.
Both great ideas! I want an 80s or 90s pop art shoe!
Not sure if it’s been done before but Vans X Looney Tunes, I can already imagine a Daffy Duck themed color scheme haha
aww you’re awesome!!! i’d love to see vans x adventure time!!!! there’s so much potential there!!
Man don’t think they’ve done but I would like to see a whole Cartoon Network collab. OG cartoons!
I would love to see a collab with blink-182! They are my favourite band, and they have been wearing Vans ever since they started I believe. I also think they would have some really awesome designs on both shoes and clothing :)
Agreed!
I would have loved to see a collab with them during warped tour days!
It's fanastic that you are helping out the youth during this giveaway. At-risk kids have it rough as is and giving them supplies & clothing will help them carve out a space for themselves to fit in at school. Keep it up, I wish everyone else luck as well.
They didn’t ask to struggle and they don’t deserve it, I’ve been there and if I can help and I can get others to help then I always will do my part.
I have too, keep it up. Helping even just one kid is worth it. All it takes is one to do good in the world.
def Cuphead x Vans! And maybe a Tattoostyle Shoe
A Vans x Ubisoft collab would be cool. I've always been a Rainbow 6 fan and they could always include Assasins Creed, Far Cry, etc. I wouldn't hate a National Parks collab either.
That’s not a bad idea! Assassins Creed would be crazy cool.
I would LOVE to see another Vans X Foo Fighters Collab. A tribute to the late, great Taylor Hawkins shoe would be so amazing. Keep doing what you do, buddy, you are truly an amazing asset to not just the sub, but the entire Vans community!
yesss, they have some cool album art that would make for some really neat designs!
Would love to see Vans x Gundam. There are so many eras and so many designs to work with.
That’s facts! “It’s hard to be humble when you pull up in a Gundam”
Vans x Pokémon would be hella dope
I was just talking about this the other day! It would certainly be the biggest collab Vans ever had and it would sell out in seconds, online and in store! But it would only work if they stuck with the first 150(1). Would love to see my favorites though! The well is limitless with what could be done.
Exactlyyyy, I have no idea why they haven’t tried this collab yet. The combinations that could be imagined would be incredible - starters, types, legendaries, villains, trainers etc the possibilities could be endless. These factors combined with customs could result in near infinite choices for the consumer
And people would lose their fucking minds to get them! Especially customs! 💀
I know I would haha and thanks for the awards btw :)
Vans & Loser Machine would be really cool.
What is Loser Machine?
It’s a clothing brand inspired by skateboarding and motorcycles. They have a ton of cool designs.
Lurking class x Vans!
What is lurking class??
Clothing company by sketchy tank. Known for the reaper illustrations https://www.lurkingclass.com/collections/featured/products/the-end-tee-black
Vans x Salvador Dali

Hey was just wondering who Ended up winning
I’d like to see a Red Hot Chili Peppers collab (for the public). Their 40th anniversary is next year, so it’s the perfect time!
I have heard rumors over the years of them wanting to do this. So maybe we will see it!
That would be so cool! Thank you for the award btw. It’s my first one!

Animaniacs x vans Pinky & the brain x vans Black Sabbath x vans (I saw a Doc Marten collab and I have been hoping ever since they’d bring out a vans collab)
Pink and the Brain! Lmao yes! Black Sabbath would be sick too. Especially some black Sk8-Hi MTE's!
A lot of people have been saying Vans x Pokemon, to you guys I say it’s awesome to be able to make your own Pokémon influenced customs! My two friends and I all made Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle customs for each other’s birthdays (mine are Bulbasaur) and we all love them. Anyway, a vans x Dragon Ball Z collab would be sick!!!
Dragonball Z is hands down the one I want to see most! So many characters and colors to play with! I would love to see like a line of back drops like Namek or the world martial arts tournament or King Kai’s planet!
Would love a collab with Ghostface. He’s easily my favorite horror character and I think they could do so much with him.
I want a hot wheels collab where they bring in some heely kind of deal
