The shelf date isn't quite confirmed, but we now have an initial look at the Vans x David Bowie footwear range.

Yes, Bowie shoes, which is a concept you'll either love or hate. If I'm honest, I'm not entirely sure things i consider this new range. As bits of design, I that can compare with it. But for actual everyday wear? It might be a little much – and that i absolutely love Bowie.

Mind you, if you happen to be considered a collector and someone who picks up everything connected to Bowie, you may buy these regardless. If only to add to your vast collection.

You will need to budget big if you would like them too, because there appears to be numerous styles to pick up. Looking at the images shown off so far by Vans, the footwear maker is giving the Bowie its Slip-On 47 V DX, Old Skool, Era, and Sk8-Hi, with album imagery from Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs used for the imagery on each.

Yes, that's right, early Bowie albums. Which does cause you to wonder whether it is really an ongoing collaboration using the Bowie estate with later albums appearing further down the line? It may be, but there is not anything confirmed as yet. Surprised there isn't a Ziggy Stardust design too.

What also isn't clear is that if the designs carry across each of the shoe styles or just apply to the main one shoe. Evidently of it, you will find only the four pairs to pick up, that might be a relief to any completists available on a budget.

Update: The number, that also includes extras styles plus t-shirts, has become confirmed for launch on 4th April 2022. You will see the range and buy it at the conclusion Clothing website.
