*Bonita Applebum sneakers are now a thing, thanks to a new partnership between Vans and A Tribe Called Quest.
According to Billboard, the two parties hooked up with Sony Music’s merchandising company The Thread Shop to release a line of sneakers paying homage to the group’s music and pop culture influence since the early ’90s.
The collection includes Slip-On, UltraRange, Old Skool, Authentic, Sk8-Hi and Era in bold colors and prints.
The footwear’s designs are inspired by the group’s most iconic cover artwork, including their 2016 album We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service, as well as an ode to late member Phife Dawg and their lyricism throughout the years.
View some of the designs below:
The exclusive collaboration launches March 30-31 with a two-day pop up shop at the House of Vans in Brooklyn from noon to 10 p.m. each day. The event will offer early shopping access to the footwear, as well as live performances curated by A Tribe Called Quest.
The Vans x A Tribe Called Quest sneaker collab launches globally starting April 6 with prices ranging from $37 to $85. The line will feature sizing for both adults and kids.
