Imran Potato x Vans Authentic “Cheetah Print” Design
Vans and Imran Potato last teamed up in 2024 on a Knu Skool collaboration. This one swaps that shoe for the classic Authentic and a loud mix of animal prints.
Imran Potato previewed the pair on Instagram in an editorial shoot. The model wore bright body paint dotted with cheetah spots to match the shoes.
The Authentic is mismatched on purpose. The left shoe carries blue spotted print and yellow tiger stripes. The right shoe is covered in red cheetah print. Reports disagree on the remaining panels: one describes pale pink cheetah print and the other white and black cheetah print on the right, and each describes the left differently around the toe and heel. One report lists black laces and white rubber soles.
An Old Skool in the same mixed cat print direction completes the pack. Imran Potato has only teased that pair so far.
Will the Imran Potato x Vans Authentic Get a Wider Release?
Reports say there are no plans yet for a wider release through Vans or Imran Potato’s website.
