Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters has become a global phenomenon. As such, its transcended the digital screen to inspire themed parties, music careers, and products.
Vans, the original action sports brand and a longtime champion of self-expression, has been helping the world of Rumi, Mira and Zoey come to life through footwear. The latest addition to the ongoing partnership between the California institution and Netflix arrives in the form of a "Golden" Old Skool for Kids.
The skate-shoe-turned-fashion-staple sees all of its classic elements get a makeover fit for a K-pop superstar. Panels at the forefoot and heel don a shimmering golden touch that's meant to shine; glitter details on the profile Sidestripes are made for the spotlight. Gold accents also take over the "Off The Wall" license plate, foxing around the forefoot, canvas upper, and one-two punch of star-shaped eyelets and laces.
The latest shimmering ensemble isn't coincidental. All of the bright touches on the Kids' Vans Old Skool reflect the aesthetics and message of inspiration central to KPop Demon Hunters, captured in the show's hit song "Golden." The shoe collab, then, pays homage to the popstar-demon hunters's anthem, their on-stage wardrobes, and the reminder to listeners that they can shine, too.
Enjoy official photos of the "Golden" Old Skool ahead. Pairs arrive via Vans.com on Monday, July 20, in sizing exclusively for Big Kids, Little Kids, and Toddlers. Prices range from $55-$75.
The KPop Demon Hunters x Vans Old Skool releases in select stores on Friday, July 17.
