Vans and Comme des Garçons are both brands that we are all familiar with, so it is not surprising that the two have collaborated in the past. This time, Vans has teamed up with Comme des Garçons GIRL on 2 pairs of pastel pink printed sneakers.
The sneakers are modelled after Vans’ OG Era LX shoes, with a cotton canvas upper and a high midsole. The CDG GIRL Vans Gingham Check has a pink-and-white gingham pattern that spans the body of the shoe and a matching pink ‘Wafflecup’ outsole. Pair it with a pastel outfit for an easy soft girl look on your next picnic.
Inside the shoe, you’ll find the logo of both Comme des Garçons GIRL and Vans. Since it is a Vans sneaker, not only does it look good, but it is also comfortable with a padded collar for added ankle support.

The second pair in the collaboration features an off-white sneaker with a classic polka dot pattern that’s reminiscent of the early ’60s. This pair has a white ‘Wafflecup’ outsole, ensuring that the polka dot print is the star of the show.
Both the gingham and polka dot designs feature the iconic Vans Off the Wall heel tab in pink.
Comme des Garçons and Vans were both founded in the late ’60s, which makes the retro design of the sneakers a touch more special. If you’re looking to get your hands on the pink shoes immediately, you’ll be able to find them on Dover Street Market US’ online store, which ships internationally. They are retailing for US$132 (~S$176.56) per pair. Alternatively, you could wait to see if they’ll be available in Dover Street Market Singapore soon.
