SZA is bringing her VANSZA partnership with Vans to the public after spending some time making one-off pairs for herself. The first two collections are being previewed at a pop-up at 260 Bowery in New York City on September 10 and 11, with the footwear and clothing displayed throughout a fall-themed space filled with trees, fallen leaves, and other outdoor details.

The first VANSZA drop centers around two familiar Vans models that SZA has put her own spin on. A black-and-white Knu Skool Mule takes the bulkier skate shoe and turns it into a slip-on, while the Authentic goes in a completely different direction with a worn-in finish and fish graphics across the upper. Its heel can also be folded down, a detail based on SZA regularly stepping on the backs of her own shoes.

Things get more experimental with the second collection in 2027, led by a new model called the LX Tabi Hiker. The low-top outdoor shoe uses a split-toe shape with cable laces, no traditional tongue, and a rugged rubber sole that climbs partway up the sides. So far, pairs have surfaced in blue, orange and green, brown and green, and black with red accents.

The Knu Skool comes back for the second drop covered in RealTree-style camouflage, while the clothing side pulls heavily from workwear and pieces already found in SZA’s wardrobe. That includes the Trompe L’Oeil fleece set, graphic hoodies, denim jackets, pants, socks, flame-covered hats, and more.

The first SZA x Vans VANSZA collection releases October 22, 2026 with the Authentic and Knu Skool Mule. The second drop arrives April 8, 2027, highlighted by the new LX Tabi Hiker and camo Knu Skool.
