Vans Divine Energy Collection was created for International Women's Day and these styles are focused on empowering, supporting and celebrating women around the world. The International Women’s Day collection from Vans is mindful of all who identify as women and as such, the designs use a range of neutral colors and patchwork details to represent unity.
In the collection, there are fan-favorite styles like the Old Skool Divine Energy and the Classic Slip-On, and others like the La Costa Slide-On decorated with words that say "fighter, dreamer, healer, leader, advocate, mentor, lover."
The footwear styles are accompanied by matching hoodies, sweatpants and crew socks, which also share the same spirit of welcoming and allyship.
