Vans x Queer Surf kick off this Pride Month with a vibrant new collaboration that merges surf culture and LGBTQ+ advocacy. Designed by Queer Surf founder Kyla Langen, the limited-edition capsule infuses iconic Vans silhouettes with motifs inspired by ocean life, surfboard design, and nature’s rhythms — all emblematic of Queer Surf’s mission: ‘All Bodies, All Boards.’ The collection includes reimagined versions of ‘Vans’ Authentic,’ ‘UltraRange 2.0,’ and ‘Knu Skool sneakers,’ along with graphic apparel and accessories that nod to coastal community and self-expression.
Patterns range from checkerboards based on Queer Surf’s logo to visuals evoking pelicans and leopard sharks — symbols of safety, adaptability, and subversion. As with past Pride collections, this drop reinforces Vans’ enduring commitment to visibility, equality, and community connection, both in and out of the waves.
