Vans and Travis Barker continue their collaboration with a new joint drop.
Rooted in punk, skateboarding, BMX and Southern California culture, the capsule brings together Footwear and Apparel while reflecting the worlds that have shaped Barker since his youth.

For Travis Barker, Vans has always been part of his personal uniform. From his early years in Fontana to Warped Tour and stage-worn Vans that were later auctioned off as pieces of music history, the brand has been a constant throughout his career.

In addition to Travis Barker, the campaign features musicians, friends and fans including The Paradox, N8NOFACE, Tim Armstrong of Rancid and The Transplants, Missy of Mannequin Pussy, and Dani Miller of Surfbort.
Visually, it draws on the look of punk zines and the DIY spirit of the capsule. Photographed by Atiba Jefferson, the campaign captures moments at a well-known music festival in Chicago and on the streets of Los Angeles.

At the center of the drop is the Vans x Travis Barker Old Skool, reimagined in a clean white colorway.
The model features a “Dues Paid” emblem on the toebox, a barbed wire graphic on the foxing, a canvas upper, cotton laces, and Travis Barker logo details on the heel and tongue.

The Footwear drop is complemented by Apparel pieces featuring “Dues Paid” and “Self Made” slogans in script lettering across the sleeve and back panel. Both mantras reflect Barker’s DIY mentality, his long journey through punk and music culture, and the energy behind the status he has built over decades.
The Vans x Travis Barker Old Skool and the Vans x Travis Barker Collection will be released on June 18 and will be available at selected retailers.
You can find Vans at:Â AFEW-Store, Asphaltgold, BSTN, HHV, Orange Jungle, SneakerTwins and SUPPA.
