In honor of the late, great David Bowie, Vans is dropping a cool collection of Bowie-inspired sneakers that pay homage to classic Bowie albums Aladdin Sane, Space Oddity, and Hunky Dory, as well as his most famous persona, Ziggy Stardust.

The Old Skool model is an ode to 1973’s Aladdin Sane with a white upper that has Bowie’s iconic red and blue lightning bolt print on the sides.

When it comes to the Sk8-Hi, the embroidered lightning on the side panel is a nod to Bowie’s alter ego Ziggy Stardust.

While the official release date is still under wraps, the collection is rumored to drop April 5th with prices that range between $65 and $80.
The David Bowie collection comes after Vans honored the 50th anniversary of Led Zepplin’s first album with a line of sneakers and apparel last month.
