Fans of the animated phenomenon can now translate their favorite on-screen moments directly into street style, as Vans and Netflix property KPop Demon Hunters return with a new footwear and apparel line. The expansive collaboration drops in September 2026, bringing fresh designs inspired by the fictional superstars of HUNTR/X and the character Derpy Tiger.
Release Dates and Purchasing Details
According to official Vans retail announcements, the rollout begins with the Golden collection arriving at select retail stores on Friday, July 17, followed by an online launch at Vans.com on Monday, July 20. Additional drops for the KPop Demon Hunters line are scheduled to roll out in the subsequent months. The footwear dedicated to characters Rumi, Mira, Zoey, and Derpy officially hits select stores on Friday, September 18, 2026, with online availability opening on Monday, September 21, 2026, through Vans.com. Pricing structures vary by silhouette and sizing, targeting children and teens primarily. Big Kids sizes for the Old Skool of Rumi and the Authentic Hi 2.0 of Mira are priced at 75 dollars, while the Classic Slip-On for Zoey costs 65 dollars. Infant sizing options start at 50 dollars and scale up to 60 dollars depending on the exact model chosen.
Design Details for Rumi, Mira, Zoey, and Derpy
The upcoming collection utilizes classic Vans silhouettes and incorporates direct visual references to the series. Rumi’s shoe features a mix of yellow, navy blue, and pink, accented with customized graphics, decorative patches, and the official HUNTR/X group logo. Mira’s Authentic Hi 2.0 leans into darker tones paired with pink highlights and personalized graphics that reflect her character’s visual identity. Zoey receives a Classic Slip-On built with a blue base and multicolor details. Meanwhile, the Derpy Tiger design utilizes a blue plush surface to physically recreate the character’s fur texture rather than relying on a standard printed pattern.
Apparel and Light-Up Innovation
The collaboration extends far beyond footwear to include a complete assortment of apparel, featuring tees, hoodies, fleece jackets, and sweat sets. The third collection introduces a technological first for the brand by showcasing the powerful glow of the Honmoon through Vans’ first-ever light-up design, the Knu Skool Light Up in For the Fans Purple and For the Fans Blue. Furthermore, the rival demon boy-band Saja Boys feature prominently in the lineup with demon-inspired patterns splashed across the Old Skool silhouette.
Sizing and Global Availability
The Golden collection provides sizing for Toddlers in sizes 8 through 10, alongside Little Kid and Big Kid options. Other capsule segments, including HUNTR/X, Derpy Tiger, and For The Fans, expand availability to full family sizing. The partnership reflects a shared dedication to authenticity, allowing global fans to represent iconic moments from the film across classic streetwear items.
