A$AP Rocky is excited for fans to get their hands on his flame-friendly new line of apparel and sneakers.
The 33-year-old rapper joined forces with Pacsun for a third and final collaboration with Vans, the Los Angeles-based surf and lifestyle brand announced last Friday (Jan. 14). “Vans have always been a closet staple,” Rocky said in a statement. “The new drop adds a fresh spin on a classic and I’m excited for everyone to style them in their own unique way.”
The nostalgic but forward-thinking collection is the Harlem’s rapper’s latest fashion drop since taking on the role as Pacsun’s Guest Artistic Director. Featured in the collaboration are reworked versions of the classic Vans slip-on sneakers and Van’s slip-on mules, which are available in black and white colorways and multi-color flame designs.
The Vans x ASAP Rocky Classic Slip-on Shoes retails for $80 and are available in black and white, and black and red designs. The mules, which are slightly cheaper at $75, come in white and red and black and red colorways.

The latest installment of Rocky’s Pacsun collaboration includes Russell Athletics logo T-shirts ($60) with matching valley shorts ($60) and graphic hoodies ($90) with matching, drawstring sweatpants ($80). The hoodies feature skull print with contrasted stitching, a kangaroo pocket and a chenille “Russell” graphic across the front. The sweatpants and hoodies are available green, black and red, blue, rust and white and brown.
“We are continuously impressed by Rocky’s fresh takes on classic styles,” noted Pacsun Co-CEO Alfred Chang. “We are excited to introduce the newest iteration as part of his collaborative effort with Pacsun, to kick off the new year.”
The line arrives just over a month after Rocky made a surprise appearance at Pacsun’s flagship store in Soho, where fans were treated to exclusive pairs of sneakers before the collection officially dropped.
Rocky and Pacsun announced their partnership last year. The “Sandman” rapper was the Southern California brand’s first ever Guest Artistic Director but it’s unclear what else they could be cooking up in the future. Last summer, Rocky revealed last year that he and Pacsun would be releasing “several limited-edition collections” together.
Pacsun’s previous collaborations include North Face, Adidas, Champion, Fear of God, J. Galt and Guess.
