Vans is honoring the 60th anniversary of its Authentic sneaker in the next chapter of its “Off the Wall” campaign.
According to the VF Corp.-owned brand, the campaign features individuals who live the “Off the Wall” spirit in their daily lives. “Distinct in approach but aligned in attitude, they push culture forward in their own lanes,” the company stated. “The result is a celebration of those who stand apart—and the shoe that’s always moved with them.”
Rapper and producer Feng, singer-songwriter and rapper Ecca Vandal, surfer Mikey February and skateboarder Ruby Lilley star in this newest spot. Vans noted that each campaign star “brings their own soul, perspective, and creative energy, united by a shared instinct to create their own noise” to the series.

This new campaign follows Vans’ blockbuster spring 2026 spot that doubled down on star power. Released in March, the campaign featured appearances by SZA, Travis Barker, Hayley Williams and Franz Lyons and skaters Lizzie Armanto and T-Funk.
Barker has also had a busy few months with the brand. Last week, the Blink-182 drummer released his second shoe with Vans, a white colorway of his “Dues Paid” Old Skool sneaker.
And in November, Barker drove a checkered Vans shoe car at this Run Travis Run event in after his first collaboration came out that same month.
This year marks a significant year for Vans and its Authentic sneaker, as both celebrate six decades of cultural impact. Born in 1966 as a quiet, unassuming deck shoe, the Authentic was quickly claimed by the loudest kids on the block, skateboarders. Emerging from California surf culture, the Authentic found its purpose on the pavement and became a foundation for self-expression, Vans said.
The Vans Off The Wall Authentic Mohair and Duck Canvas packs are now available across Vans retail locations and Vans.com.
