Lil Uzi Vert x Vans Collaboration Teased for 2027

Lil Uzi Vert and Vans appear to be gearing up for a new collaboration in 2027, with multiple early samples and previews beginning to surface online.

Recently teased by Uzi himself, the project looks to span several classic Vans silhouettes, including checkerboard Slip-Ons and low-top skate models dressed in loud pink-and-black palettes. Across the previews, the collection leans heavily into Y2K-inspired graphics, oversized checkerboard prints, anime-style artwork, and custom insoles branded “by lil uzi vert.”

One of the standout pairs features Vans’ iconic checkerboard pattern reworked in hot pink and black, complete with repeated Vans logos throughout the canvas upper. Another previewed sneaker opts for a cleaner white leather build, contrasted by pink detailing and oversized checkerboard laces. Early packaging and outsole mock-ups have also surfaced, hinting at a fully developed collaboration rather than a one-off custom project.

The collection continues Uzi’s long-running relationship with alternative fashion and skate aesthetics. Vans has increasingly tapped into music-driven collaborations over the past few years, and this upcoming Lil Uzi Vert project looks positioned to continue that direction with a louder, personality-driven approach.

At this stage, release details for the Lil Uzi Vert x Vans collection have not yet been announced, though the collaboration is currently expected to arrive sometime in 2027.
