S.R. STUDIO x Vans Holiday 2025 Collection
The S.R. STUDIO x Vans Holiday 2025 Collection proves Sterling Ruby still treats footwear like a canvas. While earlier drops leaned heavily on bold color stories, this release shifts toward shape, structure, and physical presence. It feels less like a seasonal update and more like a design experiment wearing a Vans badge.
The clear centerpiece is the Vans Future Clog. Its blocky form and exaggerated proportions pull from traditional wooden clogs, but the execution feels industrial and forward-looking. A layered construction pairs a slimmer inner clog with a larger outer shell, creating a modular look that borders on wearable sculpture. It is intentionally polarizing, and that tension feels very on-brand for Ruby’s work.
Alongside it sits the Authentic Prima, a quieter but equally considered redesign. The silhouette trims down the classic Vans profile with a thinner sole and refined toe shape. Premium leather replaces canvas, while Sola Foam ADV cushioning keeps comfort in check. The result reads more gallery-ready than skatepark-bound, but it never loses its Vans DNA.
The collection also introduces a microcheck Authentic finished in black and beige. Reflective hits and rugged Vibram soles add function without overpowering the pattern. It is the most familiar option, yet still carries S.R. STUDIO’s experimental edge.
The S.R. STUDIO x Vans collection arrives December 16th, 2025 at Vans.
