FAQs
Are these shoes limited edition?
Yes, the Vans x David Bowie collection is a commemorative, limited-release collaboration.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
While they utilize the classic Era construction, the unique printed artwork is best preserved for casual fashion use rather than intense skateboarding.
Does the shoe come with special packaging?
Yes, every pair includes the commemorative Ziggy lightning flash outer box and branded wrapping paper.
How should I clean the graphic pattern?
Use a damp, soft cloth with very mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the print and the structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the primary inspiration for this design?
The design is specifically inspired by the blue and green aesthetic and cylindrical shapes from the original 1969 Space Oddity album cover.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the laces significantly through the eyelets before inserting your foot to prevent straining the heel counter.
Surface dirt on the canvas
Use a dry horsehair brush or a soft microfiber cloth to gently buff away dust before it sets into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vans Era sneakers in top condition, we recommend a few simple care habits. Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose surface dirt after each wear. If the canvas becomes stained, spot clean gently with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, being careful not to scrub the printed pattern aggressively to avoid fading.
Store these in their commemorative Ziggy box when not in use to maintain their shape and protect the integrity of the unique graphic design. Ensure you are buying the correct size based on your standard Vans fit, as these follow the traditional Era sizing conventions.
