The Setinn x Vans Authentic Speed collaboration blends tennis functionality with Vans’ iconic skate silhouettes. Launching August 9, this first-ever tennis-focused drop features two styles: the Authentic with a white and black grid print reminiscent of a net, and the Speed in clean white with subtle green branding on the tongue, heel, and outsole. Both styles maintain the foundational Vans shape while embracing tennis aesthetics with a restrained color palette.

Inspired by the concept of playing tennis with skate shoes, Setinn adapts Vans’ classic profiles for court use without compromising DNA or comfort. The shoes are released alongside a capsule of co-branded apparel and accessories, including graphic tees, athletic shorts, a bandana, and a tennis cap. The drop coincides with a pop-up at Omotesando Museum in Tokyo. Known for its minimalist and functional approach, the collaboration reflects Setinn’s ability to unify sports tradition with skate culture in unexpected ways.
