Name: Metagirl Studio x Vans Premium Old SkoolColorway: Black/WhiteSKU: VN000ZAZHAB1MSRP: $160 USDRelease Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: Metagirl StudioThe Metagirl Studio has released a collaborative Vans Premium Old Skool 36 sneaker, reimagining the classic silhouette with Caterina Mongillo’s signature hyper-feminine yet gritty and maximalist-glam aesthetics.The sneaker draws cues from nostalgic late-2000s design cues and a defiant “divamaxxing” appeal to subvert the traditionally boyish skate silhouette. Across the upper, a slanted snakeskin-effect leather strap arches boldly over the vamp, adorned with glittering rhinestone accents and anchored by a massive, gemstone-encrusted oversized gold buckle. This opulent, high-shine hardware is dynamically disrupted by Vans’ iconic Sidestripe, which is executed with a raw, deliberately frayed white edge to create a striking sense of visual tension between elegance and grunge.The rebellious complexity extends across the rest of the shoe’s layout, where premium textured snakeskin wraps around the toe box, heel counter, and eyerows. For an added layer of heavy metallic embellishment, the vulcanized construction is heavily reinforced by a gold-studded toe bumper and matching studs embedded directly into the side panels and foxing tape. Branding details are integrated with a balanced, sophisticated touch, showcasing tonal Metagirl script embroidery across a frayed-edge tongue, while a signature Vans heel license plate anchors the design in its archival roots.
