What do you do when you are one of the most fashionable brands on the planet?

If, like Vans, you're running side-by-side with Nike for the # 1 shoe brand name in teens – according to the latest survey by investment firm Piper Jaffray – there's no from anywhere else to go than to ride … and ride.

Indeed, the Californian brand of skate shoes teamed with NASA for the latest limited edition Vans collection, which is expected to be available online and at Foot Locker stores today (November 2nd).

Vans has decorated two of his most popular silhouettes for the new collection. The Old Skool, a classic pair of trousers dressed in either an orange "pumpkin jumpsuit" or a white space suit, brandishes the stylized "worm" of NASA and the logotypes of the John F. Kennedy Space Center on each flank, an American flag fastened by means of fabric fasteners above the heel. a tab on the tongue indicating "Shuttle" on the right shoe and "Mission" on the left.

The second model, the SK8-HI high top, is available in black-on-white or white-on-black versions. It displays NASA's famous "meatballs" badges, patches for the Apollo 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 missions, as well as lunar crests in the form of a shoe cover on the midsole.

A product sheet, leaked to Reddit, suggests that Vans also publishes an orange duffel bag and laptop compatible backpack, both sporting the NASA worm logo, to complete the lineup.
