The designs are said to take inspiration from the artist's breakthrough albums, 'Venice' and 'Malibu.' With both album covers featuring unique multi-media influences, the inspired designs take cues directly from them. For example, the 'Sid DX' honors the 2016 Malibu album's themes with an embroidered chenille pattern, and comes complete with green waffle-textured outsoles. All of the pieces feature dual-branding, and come in [limited edition packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-x-pop-mart). The exclusive collection will be available for purchase online worldwide through [Vans'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmx-athletes) web store, and can also be found at Vans' in-store locations, as well as through select retail partners such as Footlocker.
