- Vans is about to drop a Harry Potter collaboration, and we are fully prepared to pay serious galleons for this.
- The shoe brand announced the new collection with a ~mysterious~ Instagram, and wizards everywhere are predictably losing it.
What do you wear if you're a Hogwarts-loving witch in 2019? Vans, apparently. The shoe brand announced Monday that it's dropping a Harry Potter collection sometime in the near future, so get ready to rep your house on your feet!
While details are super under wraps (like, we-still-have-no-photos levels of under wraps), we do know that the collaboration will specifically take inspiration from the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff (as if you needed me to clarify the houses).
If you go on the Vans' site to check out what little info they're spilling, you can sign up for a newsletter to get first word once Dumbledore or whoever finally gives the go ahead for deets to come out. You can also mess with the pretty graphics when you move your cursor, which leaves the site looking like the four house colors underneath water, for some reason.
Do I know when this collab is launching? No! Do I know what the shoes even look like? Yass - here they are:
They'll look nice with the rest of our Harry Potter-themed things, and that's really all I need to know.
Other fans are also pretty pumped about it:
That settles it, I guess. If Harry Potter were a sneaker-head, he'd wear Vans. The more you know.
