Palace Skateboards is leaning into its signature humor with its latest Vans collaboration, playfully labeling the new Vans Low 2 as “Skate Shoe of the Year” before the year even unfolds. The tongue-in-cheek campaign reflects Palace’s identity, blending irreverence with serious skate credibility.
This release continues the long-running partnership between Palace and Vans, which is approaching its five-year mark. While Palace has recently made noise through projects with Nike and expanded retail concepts in London, its connection with Vans remains a core part of its skate-focused output.
The Vans Low 2 builds on the foundation of the original model introduced in 2023. Designed with performance in mind, the updated silhouette features Vans’ advanced vulcanized construction. Key elements include impact-absorbing cushioning, reinforced durability panels, and a grippy rubber outsole built for consistent board feel and control.
From a design standpoint, the shoe keeps things clean and modern. Curved paneling shapes the upper, while a sock-like inner construction enhances fit and comfort. Subtle branding details, including Palace’s signature logo and dragon-inspired graphics, give the shoe a distinct identity without overwhelming the overall look.
The Palace Skateboards x Vans Low 2 will release in three colorways—White, Black/Gum, and Yellow/Black—on February 27, 2026 through Palace’s official channels and retail locations.
