After the Vans x Harry Potter collection was revealed last month, we now have an on-foot look at four of the six impending releases. Kicking things off is a Vans Sk8-Hi done up in the colors of Gryffindor, Harry Potter’s home Hogwarts house. Featuring a burgundy/red striped upper accented by black suede and a regal lion crest it presents a bold look, one that takes Gryffindor’s ethos of bravery quite literally. Slytherin, the house of Potter’s arch-rival Draco Malfoy, is present as well thanks to a Vans Era dressed in black and green snakeskin and equipped with a tongue badge for a nod to its serpentine mascot. Cold and cunning, the shoes suit the house that’s turned out the most Dark wizards perfectly. Another Sk8-Hi features a blue checkerboard print interspersed with Harry’s signature lightning scar and textured iridescent overlays. The Era returns again as well, covered in an all-over Daily Prophet print that features headlines and articles from the wizarding world’s leading newspaper. Although they’re not pictured here, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff — the other two Hogwarts houses — are represented by a Vans Slip-On and Vans Authentic, respectively. There’s also several other wizarding-world themed makeups continuing to surface as well. Check out select pairs below, and expect a release on June 7th.
