The Harry Potter x Vans collection is on it’s way and we have some thoughts

It’s been 22 years since Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was published and eight since the final film was released – yet, somehow, JK Rowling is still dragging out the royalties. You would have thought a multi-billion pound film franchise, a dedicated Universal theme park, a two-part Westend show, Pottermore, endless toy collections with Lego, limited edition coca-cola lines, Pez dispensers and Jelly Belly packets would be enough but nooooo, apparently Harry Potter needs to take over the world of trainers too.

At the moment all Vans have released is the above Insta post, with no info on when the Harry Potter x Vans collection is launching, how much they’ll cost or where you’ll be able to buy them. Although, if you sign-up here you’ll be one of the first to know the answers to all these questions AND get info about the up-and-coming clothes and accessories collabs.

It may be a while until you get your next Potter fix but, but you can still use your 10 per cent student discount on the classics – Here’s how to get your code:

Step 1: Click here

Step 2: Login using your student email

Step 3: Copy your exclusive 10 per cent off code

Step 4: Decide whether to wait for the Harry Potter x Vans launch or invest in a new pair of Sk8s

I’ll hold my judgement until the collection is officially released, but let’s just say I won’t be swapping my pair of Old Skools for the snake-skin Slytherins any time soon. No, thank you.

So if like me you need a bit more un-HP-related inspiration, below are some of my favourite picks from the Vans website:

Vans x DB Serious Moonlight Long Sleeve T-shirt

Canvas Comfycrush Era Shoes

Crosstown Backpack
