Little Simz Shines in the Second Chapter of Vans’ Premium Old Skool Music Campaign

Nostalgia is having a moment right now and Vans is tapping into that vibe with the second chapter of its Premium Old Skool Music collection, featuring brand ambassador and musician Little Simz. Following the first drop on February 6, new chapters will continue to roll out on the 6th of every month — with this latest release now available. The collection adds to a broader trend, with brands like Converse celebrating its Chuck Taylors with the “Love, Chuck” campaign, The North Face marking 40 years of its Mountain Jacket and Nike re-releasing its T90 sneakers, making 2025 feel like a year of reflection.

The Old Skool silhouette holds a special place in the footwear label’s history. As the brand’s second-ever skate shoe and the first to showcase its signature sidestripe, it’s an unmistakable classic.

This latest drop sees the Vans Premium Old Skool reimagined in 12 colorways, each inspired by different music eras and genres. The updated design enhances the original with better cushioning, a refined fit and archival details. With 30% biobased Sola Foam ADC insoles for all-day comfort, it blends heritage with innovation.
