Coming back together for another collaboration, Vans and Imran Potato are covering two classic silhouettes in a wild mix of leopard, cheetah, and tiger prints. The upcoming pack includes the Authentic and Old Skool, both done with mismatched patterns ahead of their ComplexCon debut in Los Angeles.

Across the Authentic, each shoe gets its own combination of colors and animal prints rather than following the same layout. Blue leopard print covers much of the left shoe, broken up by yellow tiger stripes on the toe. The right switches to pale pink cheetah print through the upper with a much brighter red pattern covering the toe box. Black laces and white rubber soles finish off the pair without taking much attention away from the prints.

A matching Old Skool follows the same direction, mixing different exotic cat patterns from panel to panel. Imran has only teased the pair so far, but it confirms the Authentic is part of a larger two-shoe release rather than a standalone collaboration.

This also picks up where Imran Potato and Vans left off with their Knu Skool MTE-1 LX collaboration from 2024. More is already planned for 2027, including Old Skool 36 and Half Cab projects that were previewed during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year.

The Imran Potato x Vans Authentic “Cheetah Print” releases October 3-4, 2026, during ComplexCon Los Angeles. Both the Authentic and Old Skool will be available at Booth L12.
