Behold! The First-Ever Vans x Octopus LTD Collaboration

Vans and Octopus LTD have released their first-ever collaboration, which provides an authentic dose of core surf through a minimalist approach. 

The sleek collection blends perfectly through the muse of shared team riders Mikey February, Dylan Graves, and Harry Bryant. As a surfer-owned-and-run company with no big investors, no one to answer to, and no rules to follow, Octopus has established itself as a rare breed of surf brand.

Their partnership with vans comes to us in the form of black and shades of white, including everything from marshmallow to crème. The theory that “Less is more,” has never seemed so plausible.

The full collection drops here on August 13, 2021. I’d recommend memorizing that three-digit security code on the AMEX now, this stuff won’t end up in department stores.
