About a year after being named Vans’ first Artistic Director, SZA has her first collection with the brand ready to go. Two footwear styles are part of the release, along with clothing that reflects her longtime interest in fishing and the outdoors.

Before making music her career, SZA was studying marine biology at Delaware State University. Her interest in the outdoors also led to Ctrl Fishing Co., a streetwear project that promoted sustainability and cutting down on plastic waste. The fish prints on her new Vans Authentic are a nod to that side of her life.

The SZA x Vans Authentic has colorful fish prints across the upper, distressed midsoles, and a collapsible heel that can be folded down for easier wear. The SZA x Vans Knu Skool Mule is a backless version of the skate shoe, dressed in black and white with small insect graphics printed on the insoles.

Clothing makes up a good portion of the collection as well. There are snap shorts, a reversible fishing vest with several pockets, and other casual pieces based on outdoor gear.

The SZA x Vans collection releases October 22, 2026, at Vans and select retailers. The women’s Authentic is priced at $110, and the women’s Knu Skool Mule will retail for $115.
