Vans And *Better With Age Deliver Vintage-Inspired LX Collab

Vans has teamed up with *Better With Age for a new LX collaboration that blends skate heritage with the label’s signature vintage luxury aesthetic. Built around customization and worn-in detailing, the collection reimagines two classic Vans silhouettes through *Better With Age’s archive-inspired lens.

The capsule features a faded navy canvas Authentic alongside a black suede Half Cab, both designed with distressed elements that give the sneakers a naturally aged look rather than a factory-fresh finish. Custom leather labels, co-branded insoles, and yellowed midsoles further push the vintage feel, staying true to *Better With Age’s collectible design language while honoring Vans’ skate roots.

Beyond the footwear itself, personalization plays a major role in the collaboration. Each pair includes branded patches and additional accessories that allow wearers to create their own one-of-one look. To celebrate the launch, Vans and *Better With Age also hosted on-site customization at Dover Street Market London, where shoppers had access to vintage patches and brass letter beads during the release event.

The *Better With Age x Vans LX collection released on May 15 exclusively through Dover Street Market London. The Authentic is priced at $218, while the Half Cab retails for $248. Wider release information has not yet been confirmed.
