COMME des GARÇONS and Vans are revisiting a familiar style for their next collaborative release. The all-over print CDG x Vans Authentic—first introduced in 2018—is back for another run.

This CDG x Vans Authentic reissue sticks close to the original blueprint—a white canvas upper covered in black repeating CDG branding, a rubberized CDG logo across the toe box, all atop a white vulcanized rubber sole. However, the 2025 version does feature a subtle shift in branding. The OTW by Vans logo is now printed on the insoles, tying it into Vans’ design-forward and collaborative sublabel, which was rebranded from Vault by Vans in 2024. This detail differentiates new pairs from the OG 2018 release as well as the 2019 edition.

There’s no over-the-top redesign here, the intent is clear: understated, everyday wear with a designer edge. The Authentic silhouette’s low profile and flat construction make it one of Vans’ most versatile models, and the no-frills treatment from the COMME des GARÇONS basics sublabel enhances that simplicity rather than challenging it.

CDG announced the reissue of its Vans Authentic collab with a campaign shot in the streets of Shibuya by Japanese photographer Atuki Otomone. The shoes are styled with pieces from CDG’s Spring/Summer 2025 apparel offerings, including logo tees, pinstriped button-up shirts, and patchwork pants.

The CDG x Vans Authentic reissue will be available June 13th on the CDG website. Check out the campaign shots below.
