On-Foot Looks at the Harry Potter x Vans Collaboration Capsule

Select Model

One can never have enough socks shoes.

I’m pretty sure it was Dumbledore who once said “One can never have enough shoes” in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Or something like that.

But even is I misquoted (which I definitely did,) he’s not wrong.

And with fans of the Harry Potter franchise already ecstatic about the upcoming Harry Potter: Wizards Unite augmented reality game — said to be the next Pokémon GO — there’s even more HNP news to get you amped up; a footwear and clothing capsule collaboration with Vans.

The California-based label took to the ‘gram to drop a teaser video, which will include footwear, apparel, and accessories.

In addition to the video, which racked up 1.5 million views in no time, the website displays swirl patterns themed after the four notable Harry Potter Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, as well as in its signature colors and featured animals. These details could provide a clue to the distinct aesthetic that could be implemented on the forthcoming collection, which has yet to be unveiled.

Until then, you can register on Vans’ official websitefor updates and additional details.

Update 05.14.19

First looks at the capsule landed yesterday (below) when Van shared a first look at four shoes as well as a short animated video clip featuring the colors of the four houses of Hogwarts on their social media accounts. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff are all represented by four classics in the Sk8-Hi, Era, Authentic, and the Slip-On, each featuring the official crest logo and a distinct material and color swatch each house. While a firm release date has not been revealed, interested parties can sign up for updates now on Vans.com; stay tuned for an official detailed look as well as a full store list.
