SZA and Vans first announced their multi-year partnership in 2025, with SZA taking on the role of Artistic Director. Her first full collection takes a different approach from a traditional celebrity collaboration. Instead of simply adding new colors to existing shoes, SZA has changed the shape and construction of several Vans models while introducing a new hiking-inspired silhouette.
The first VANSZA drop includes the Authentic Knockdown and LX Knu Skool Mule. Both pairs use a Black and White color scheme, with the VANSZA branding combining SZA and Vans. The Vans Authentic features distressed canvas, custom artwork, and a collapsible heel. The Knu Skool Mule removes the traditional heel section, turning the familiar skate shoe into a slip-on design.
The Authentic also features artwork by artist Sage Adams. Fish graphics appear across the distressed canvas, giving the shoe a more worn-in appearance. The collapsible heel adds another practical touch and reflects how SZA has worn her own sneakers over the years. Meanwhile, the Knu Skool Mule retains the model’s oversized tongue, padded construction, and large 3D Sidestripe, while changing the shoe’s heel.
The second VANSZA drop takes the collection in another direction. The LX Tabi Hiker will be available in three colorways: Brown/Green-Purple, Blue/Orange-Green, and Black/Red-Yellow. The shoe features a split-toe construction, a low-profile, rugged outsole, cable-style laces, and perforated sections across the upper. A Camo LX Knu Skool is also scheduled to release alongside the hiking model.
