British rap star Little Simz has taken over the UK music scene, becoming one of the top artists of her generation. The multi-faceted creative released her chart-topping album No Thank You in 2022 and has stepped into her power by dominating international stages with mesmerizing lyrics.

Little Simz is uniting with Vans to release her inaugural footwear project, paying tribute to the classic Slip-On silhouette with distorted uppers. The low-top model is repurposed with warped checkered patterns viewed through a kaleidoscope, featuring twisted graphics in red, blue, green, black, and white tones.

Little Simz pulls inspiration from the beloved skate model, pushing traditional boundaries with a powerful remix that reimagines her artist logo. Her Vans collaboration closes out 2023 in style, looking to dominate the new year with heavy-hitting music and sell-out collaborations.

Take a closer look at the Little Simz x Vans Slip-On collaboration in the gallery above. The sneaker is available to shop now via Vans’ website for £90 GBP (approximately $113 USD).
