As Vans continues to shake things up with their design, the brand is now taking a step away from the skate park and heading to the tennis courts for their latest collaboration. Along with Japanese tennis brand Setinn, Vans’ newest launch involves a brand new style for the brand: a classic white sneaker. While the brand is notorious for its skate-inspired designs and street-style vibe, it is elevating its look for a brand new aesthetic that feels slightly more elevated. While this new style is only temporary, it’s a fresh new look for Vans, which looks and feels sophisticated. Debuting in a pop-up in Japan, the new Setinn x Vans sneaker is a curious case of switching up styles but still keeping true to your branding.

The Vans Authentic sneaker has been updated with a black and white grid pattern on the upper, while Vans and Setinn branding make an appearance, for a sleek, almost all-white sneaker. The Vans Speed comes in an all-white colorway that is accented by hints of green on the tongue, heel, and outsole. Both versions will make their official debut on August 9 via Setinn’s website and a pop-up held at the Omotesando Museum in Minato, Japan.
