Supporting and empowering women around the world
Vans is Proud to Celebrate Women With the ‘Divine Energy’ Collection
Vans, the original action-sports brand and icon of creative expression, is proud to announce the launch of the "Divine Energy" Collection, in celebration of Women. Regardless of age or gender identity, Vans believes there are a multitude of ways to empower, support, and celebrate women around the world on this important day and throughout the year.
The Vans Collection was inspired with the spirit of women in mind, showing the inclusion of all those who identify as women through the varying use of neutral colors and patchwork details to represent multiple communities joining as one. Key footwear styles include the Old Skool™ Divine Energy and the Classic Slip-On featuring a combination of earth-tone solids, florals and Vans' signature Checkerboard print. The Hoodie and matching sweatpants both have an oversized, relaxed fit and a cloud-wash screen-print graphic on the front and back.
Whether a dreamer, a partner, a friend, or an advocate, all women and allies around the world are celebrated and welcomed to be “Off The Wall.” To reiterate that sentiment, men's long and short-sleeve tees feature supportive messages that help express allyship. The pieces speak to the overall message of inclusion with both a non-binary and female symbol, and the words "teammate, lover, partner, friend, child, advocate."
Vans' purpose is to enable creative expression no matter gender, race, or class and we're excited to bring attention to causes that affect women and to help unify all people with uplifting messages that celebrate the power and spirit of women around the world. In honor of International Women’s Day, 2.5% of every sale of this product between February 21 and August 1, 2022 will be donated to organizations that uplift and empower women of all ages via the Tides Foundation, up to a maximum of $200,000.
In Europe, Vans is supporting the UK-based organization, Sisterhood. Sisterhood offers creative social action programmes for girls and gender expanding youth (aged 13-18) that equips them with the skills, tools and confidence to be the next generation of creative thinkers, leaders and change makers. Together, Vans and Sisterhood will host a series of creative and design-focused educational training and development through Sisterhood School and Sisterhood Summer programmes. Stay tuned on Vans.eu for more information and how to get involved.
The Vans "Divine Energy" Collection is now at Vans retailers and at Vans.co.za
