Stylish Footwear Collaborations

Palace Skateboarding and Vans Collaborate on the Palace Vans Low

— July 18, 2023 — Fashion
Palace Vans Low is a new footwear silhouette that pays homage to skate culture. The model resulted from a collaboration between two beloved skateboarding brands—Palace and Vans—and was officially available for purchase starting June 23rd.

This sporty hybrid shoe combines elements from the Steve Caballero 'Half Cab' and the Mike Carroll signature style. Available in black or white with a perforated leather and suede mix, the Palace Vans Low features various technical features for enhanced performance. Alongside the footwear silhouette, the brands also launched two T-shirts with a 'Palace Vans Low' graphic on the front.

To celebrate the collaboration, Palace and Vans have created an "Internal Only" film, directed by Palace's Stuart Hammond and starring Palace and Vans pro skateboarders Rory Milanes and Danny Brady. The film embraces a cheeky office vibe and is made "for Vans employee's eyes only."
