Vans and Netflix are teaming up again. From September 21, 2026, a new Vans x KPop Demon Hunters collection arrives, with four models built around the characters of HUNTR/X. This Vans x KPop Demon Hunters drop is aimed specifically at kids' sizing this time: these are GS (grade school) sizes, fitting kids aged roughly 8 to 14.
KPop Demon Hunters is Netflix's animated hit about the fictional girl group HUNTR/X, who perform to sold-out crowds by day and fight demons by night. The film's success already led to a first Vans collection late last year, including the Sk8-Hi, the Authentic, and an Old Skool themed around rival group the Saja Boys. Last summer brought the golden Old Skool, inspired by HUNTR/X's glamorous pop-star image. Now there's a follow-up that digs deeper into the individual characters.
Sony, the parent company behind Netflix partner Sony Pictures, recently confirmed that a sequel is in development. CEO Ravi Ahuja stressed that the brand is being pushed across more platforms and products. This new Vans x KPop Demon Hunters collection fits that strategy: each character gets their own shoe, separate from the earlier group releases.
Vans announced at the start of the partnership that 2026 would be built around several standalone capsules. Alongside this kids' collection, another chapter centered on Honmoon and the Saja Boys has also been announced, featuring a Knu Skool that lights up for the first time in Vans' history. An exact release date for that hasn't been confirmed yet.
Four characters, four silhouettes
Each model gets its own silhouette and colorway, all in GS kids' sizing.
The yellow Old Skool is dedicated to Rumi, with her signature on the heel and a screen-printed HUNTR/X logo on the upper.

Mira gets an Authentic Hi 2.0 in black with pink accents, custom lace charms, and an illustration based on her 'Won't Miss' tee.

Zoey's Classic Slip-On combines dark blue panels with a teal-and-pink floral print, a nod to her crop top.

Derpy, the tiger-like companion from the film, rounds things out with a Classic Slip-On featuring a sherpa upper that mimics the character's blue-spotted coat, finished with a Sussie logo on the heel.
Vans
All four models share the same build: canvas upper, complemented by suede on the Derpy edition, vulcanized construction, and Vans' signature waffle outsole. Each model also has a padded collar for extra comfort. The collection is available in GS kids' sizes (grade school) from EU 34.5 to 38, roughly fitting kids aged 8 to 14.
