You’ll want to spend all your Galleons on Vans’ latest collaboration with Harry Potter
By Mia Johnson
Vans released a collaboration with Harry Potter that’s got tons of magical items you’ll want to wear. From cool sneakers to trendy jackets, this isn’t your typical wizarding wardrobe.
All the wizards and witches of the world, prepare for your wardrobe to get a major upgrade. Vans has finally released its Harry Potter collaboration line, and it’s safe to say you’ll be going back to Hogwarts in style this year.
The collection (available on the Vans website) isn’t limited to Vans’ signature sneakers; there’s an array of hats, socks, shirts and backpacks as well. And (get this), the line doesn’t just feature Gryffindor and Slytherin merch. That’s right, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs are also included in this wizardly wonderful line.
If you’re not feeling partial to either house (or you come from another wizarding school that isn’t Hogwarts), then there’s also a Deathly Hallows collection, as well as a general Harry Potter collection of items.
I have to give it up to Slytherin, though, for having the best set of shoes in the whole line. One pair of shoes straight up features green and black scales, just like their house animal, the snake. The other pair features a sweet green and black color scheme in the Hi Platform style. (Plus, check out the scales on the soles of the shoe!)

For outerwear, you’ll want to turn in your house robes for Vans’ impressively stylish Torrey jacket. The jacket features the Deathly Hallows symbol on the front and back. And if you’d like to make it an outfit, pair it with the Deathly Hallows hat, crop top and slide-ons as well.

The collection, overall, will be a real treat for sneakerheads who love mixing their kicks with pop culture. Like many collections coming out now (like The Lion King makeup line), collaborators are finding ways of taking our favorite movies and moments from pop culture and turning them into something completely sophisticated.
If you’re into Harry Potter-bounding, especially (it’s Disneybounding but for Harry Potter of course), this collection would be perfect for you. Plus, you’ll look like the coolest student at Hogwarts if you make your way to Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
