Valentino Garavani and Vans are continuing their partnership. After a first collaboration in 2025, they have released a second chapter of sneakers for the Cruise 2026 collection, designed by Alessandro Michele.

This release focuses on the classic Vans Slip-On, a shoe introduced in 1977. The new styles blend Valentino’s design codes with this iconic silhouette.

There are six unisex variations. They include patterns like the black and red VLogo Checkerboard, a checkerboard with big dots, and a Tropical Leaves print. The playful Valentino Le Chat de la Maison motif returns from the first collection. A new addition is a pattern called Cherryfic.

Each pair has co-branded insoles and comes in special packaging. The box features the Vans checkerboard motif, reworked with the Valentino VLogo.

The sneakers are available now on both Valentino and Vans websites, in Valentino boutiques worldwide, and at the Vans flagship store in Paris.
