Following the success of the first collaboration launched in September 2025, Maison Valentino presents sneakers designed by creative director Alessandro Michele.
February 2026
This new collection features six styles that seamlessly blend Valentino’s signature style codes with Vans’ legendary Slip-On silhouette, one of the most recognizable styles in footwear history. Presented in 1977 and designed with simplicity, comfort, and a skate spirit in mind, it has seen countless color variations, collaborations, and limited editions over the years. In the Cruise 2026 collection it is presented in six unisex variants, offered in different patterns and finished with co-branded insoles. In addition to the black/red and black/pink VLogo Checkerboard, the line also includes the polka dot VLogo Checkerboard and the Tropical Leaves pattern. The edition that brings back the playful Valentino Le Chat de la Maison motif also returns, while a new feature of the collaboration is the design with the Cherryfic motif. Each pair comes in special packaging that highlights Vans’ checker motif, reimagined with Valentino’s VLogo Signature.
The Trissino-based group presents a production process that drastically reduces water consumption and a new S/S 2027 collection that celebrates the authenticity of the material.
