The New Vans Sneaker is Reminiscent of an ‘Iconic’ Chanel Messenger Bag Worn by Bella Hadid

Vans is putting a preppy twist on one of its signature sneaker styles.

On Wednesday, July 30, the company announced its plans to release the Premium Old Skool 36 Souvenir sneaker in a distressed style, reminiscent of a vintage Chanel bag that was part of the house’s spring/summer 2015 collection.

The sneaker features a spray-painted upper and brown leather overlays, in addition to multicolored tweed Jazz stripe details and Vans-themed “souvenir” pins that call back to its skater origins, including a skateboard-shaped pin with the brand’s signature “Off the Wall” slogan. The thick gum sole also contains light distressing, adding to the worn-in look of the shoe.

According to the official Vans website, the shoe design — which was originally created in 1977 — is inspired by “an iconic graffiti messenger bag” and “pays homage to high fashion with all of the modern durability and comfort you’d expect from Vans.”

The latest Vans sneaker is being likened to Chanel’s Multicolor Graffiti Tweed and Khaki Toile On The Pavement Large Messenger Bag. The style was introduced as part of Chanel’s graffiti collection, which first made its appearance in look 26 during the French fashion house’s spring/summer 2015 runway show.

The messenger bag, as well as other items in the Chanel graffiti collection, were designed to resemble the worn backpacks and totes carried by young artists. Like the Vans sneaker, the messenger bag features fun pins, tweed elements and spray-paint details on the fabric to create a lived-in look.

The Chanel bag retails for $15,150 on Sotheby’s and $18,500 on Grailed.

Bella Hadid was spotted wearing the Chanel messenger bag in February 2022, while she was out in New York City. She wore the bag with a casual outfit that consisted of a camel-colored leather jacket, bright green cardigan sweater and army green cargo pants.

Ashlee Simpson was also seen toting the bag around while running errands with husband Evan Ross in Los Angeles in April 2017.

The Vans Premium Old Skool 36 Souvenir sneaker was released on Thursday, July 31. The shoe, which retails for $125, is currently sold out online and could be limited. The company has not announced plans for a restock, but noted on Instagram that it is available for purchase at select Vans retailers.
