Vans, Barbour launch capsule footwear collaboration

Share via

Barbour, the 118-year-old British heritage brand known for its durable outdoor wear – especially waxed waterproof jackets -- has collaborated with the Vans skate-shoe label on a line of limited-edition footwear.

According to Monday’s announcement by the Cypress-based action sports brand, the Barbour by Vans capsule collection includes Barbourized versions of three classic Vans’ silhouettes: the classic slip-on (with an MSRP of $90) with a diamond-quilted upper, the Era wingtip ($100) and a deconstructed chukka Del Barco ($110), all in that particular shade of Barbour jacket green, with brown leather accents and tartan plaid footbeds.

The kicks have also been given Barbour’s signature waxing treatment for water-resistance and Vans’ traditional waffle outsole has been reversed to provide increased traction.
