There’s just something about walking into a store and spotting new shoeboxes on the shelves—the ones that weren’t there last week. You know that little rush, the quick heartbeat, the eyes scanning every corner like a detective on a mission? That was me the moment I stepped into Vans SM City Clark recently. Kabalens, the sneaker gods have been busy, and trust me—you’ll want to see this.
When Art Hits the Streets
The Vans x Mr. Sabotage collaboration is a showstopper. Mr. Sabotage is an artist whose captivating work stops people in their tracks, and this collaboration translates that bold, mischievous, and museum-worthy energy into a sneaker.
Priced under ₱7,000, this rare and intentionally limited collaboration is a steal. A must-have for collectors and those who appreciate unique footwear, this pair deserves a spot in your rotation. Don’t wait, these sneakers will disappear quickly.
Retro Vibes Meet Modern Swagger
For a nostalgic feel, Vans offers a high-top pair reminiscent of 1985, boasting the classic silhouette and retro charm that would make Marty McFly proud (minus the self-lacing).
At ₱6,998, these skateboarding sneakers offer retro flair and versatile style. Chunky yet stylish, they’re perfect for skaters and everyday wear, pairing effortlessly with jeans, joggers, or shorts. A top pick for effortless cool.
Old School, But Make It Fresh
Now, let’s talk about the Old School 36 Plus. If the name sounds familiar, that’s intentional. It’s a fresh take on a classic silhouette, designed for skaters but with nods to hip-hop culture sprinkled in. At ₱5,998, it’s surprisingly accessible for something this fresh. Plush padding, subtle tweaks to the silhouette, and an overall vibe that just screams cool without trying too hard.

I remember back in high school saving up just to snag a classic Vans pair. If this had dropped back then? I would’ve been first in line at the mall entrance.
Honoring the Originals
Of course, a visit to Vans isn’t complete without a nod to the originals. On the wall sits the sneaker that started it all back in 1966. Pre-disco, pre-internet, pre-everything—but timeless, still in demand, and still absolutely iconic. Grab a pair, and you’re not just getting shoes—you’re holding a piece of history.
More Than Just Sneakers
Vans isn’t just about footwear—it’s a lifestyle. Their apparel section proves it beautifully. Think soft hoodies like the “Escape for Love” with subtle “Love is in the sky” prints, priced at ₱4,998, or cozy sweatshirts with peaceful dove motifs. Caps? Check. Kids’ sneakers? Adorable mini-me versions of the classics. Seriously, I may or may not have squealed a little.
Sweet Perks You’ll Love
Here’s the cherry on top. Spend ₱10,000 in a single receipt, and you score a limited edition Vans pouch bag—perfect for daily essentials, gadgets, or even as a lunch tote. Exclusive, free, and only while supplies last. Treat yourself—you’ve earned it.
