What is the name of Vans' premium sub-brand?

Vans’ premium sub-brand is called Vans Vault.

Vans Vault was created as a premium expression of the main Vans label, emphasizing elevated materials, refined construction, archival references, and collaborations. Its products often reinterpret familiar Vans silhouettes rather than inventing an entirely separate visual identity.

That distinction matters because Vans’ best-known shoes—such as the Authentic, Old Skool, Slip-On, and Sk8-Hi—also appear in ordinary mainline collections. A Vault release may use the same basic model name while differing in materials, detailing, manufacturing, packaging, or collaboration partner.

Vans Vault is easy to confuse with Vans Anaheim Factory, which draws directly on historical construction details and vintage styling, or OTW, a separate Vans creative and product direction. Those labels may overlap in audience and design language, but they are not interchangeable names for the premium sub-brand. Vault’s significance comes from treating Vans’ archive as a platform for higher-end editions and limited releases.
