A striking revival of a classic style.

COMME des GARÇONS has partnered once again with Vans to bring back their iconic reinterpretation of the Vans Authentic—a classic low-top, lace-up silhouette that has long been a staple in streetwear culture. This reissue stays largely true to the original 2018 release, known for its bold use of graphic overlays and prominent CDG branding across a crisp white upper. The signature CDG patch remains a focal point of the design, giving the shoe an unmistakable identity that merges avant-garde sensibilities with skate-inspired styling.

One of the few but notable changes in this updated version is the redesigned insole. While the overall look and construction remain consistent with the original, the insole now features Vans’ “OTW” (Off The Wall) logo branding—a subtle detail that marks this pair as a new edition while maintaining its connection to the first release. The overall build continues to offer a premium, refined appearance that still feels suitable for everyday wear, striking a balance between fashion-forward design and comfort.

This re-release is especially significant for fans of both brands, offering a second chance to own a highly sought-after collaboration. Whether you’re drawn to its minimalist boldness or its cultural cachet, the CDG x Vans Authentic delivers a timeless look with thoughtful updates. The pair officially launched on June 13th and is available exclusively through the CDG store and website.
