On October 23, 2025, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker added "designer" to his lengthy list of accomplishments with the release of his latest collaboration with Vans. The low-top canvas Old Skool sneaker, which retails for $85, is a reflection of both Barker's and Vans' Californian roots and shared love of skateboarding.
The shoe's edgy design elements, such as barbed wire foxing and oil-stained toe bumpers, pay homage to Barker's days spent behind the drum set spinning pop-punk tracks. The black canvas upper is complemented by the signature white-striped motifs that travel the length of the shoe, while custom details like boombox artwork on the heels and chrome aglets add a graphic, rocker touch.
The collaborative kicks have already made waves, as they sold out in multiple sizes on Vans' website in under 24 hours. The unisex style is sure to be a hit among Barker's fans and sneaker enthusiasts alike, as the more worn-in the shoes get, the better they'll look, perfectly matching the musician's aesthetic.
