Dynamic Shark-Inspired Apparel

Vans & Shark Week Launched a Collection That Protects the Ocean

— July 11, 2019 — Social Good
Vans and Discovery's 'Shark Week' have partnered to launch a shark-inspired collection of shoes and apparel just in time for the annual weekly special. A percentage from the line will be donated to support the Oceana Foundation's mission to protect oceans and sharks alike by restoring the world's wild fish population.

The line includes graphic t-shirts, shoes, hats, hoodies, and more, all extravagantly decorated in shark patterns. The collection is available for children, women, and men, and each piece has an avant-garde aesthetic that is eye-catching and bespoke. The line still pays homage to Van's skateboarding roots, with checkered patterns and classic curved detailing. The collection is ideal for any fans of Shark Week or individuals seeking to protect our oceans and sharks.
