Two Los Angeles staples are lining up for October baseball. Per Sneaker News and Fullress, Vans and the Los Angeles Dodgers have teamed up on a narrow MLB capsule that puts Dodger Blue on the brand’s Sk8-Hi and Skate Era — not a league-wide pack, just the nine-time champs.
Both shoes land in Dodgers Classic Blue/White with blue-and-cream checkerboard panels, pre-distressed holes, red baseball-style stitching, and mismatched waffle outsoles carrying team marks. The Sk8-Hi leans into a full Dodgers script across the heel plus LA logos at the collar; the lower Skate Era keeps the script under the eyelets and a cleaner LA heel patch. Gradient insoles finish the pair.
Select Vans stores started seeing the capsule ahead of the web drop. Online release is October 9, 2026 — Sk8-Hi VN0014YQ45K at $140, Skate Era VN00152S45K at $120.
Update, October 9: The web drop is today. Vans US opens the Sk8-Hi ($140) and Skate Era ($120) at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT, per Just Fresh Kicks. If your Dodgers fitted has been sitting on the shelf waiting for a matching pair of shoes, this is its moment.
