Vans has launched “Off The Wall”, a new global campaign celebrating the legacy of the Vans Authentic and the communities that have shaped its cultural impact.
The campaign highlights the brand’s long-standing ethos of individuality and creative rebellion, spotlighting figures across music and culture who embody that spirit. Featured talent includes Travis Barker, SZA and Franz Lyons, photographed by Rosie Marks.
Originally released in 1966 as a simple deck shoe, the Vans Authentic was quickly adopted by skateboarders emerging from California’s surf scene, eventually becoming a staple of skate and street culture. Over the decades, the silhouette has evolved into one of the brand’s most recognisable designs, worn by artists, musicians and creatives worldwide.
The campaign arrives as both Vans and the Authentic mark 60 years since the shoe’s debut, reflecting on the model’s enduring role in shaping youth culture and creative communities.
