Vans has opened a new flagship store inside Milan, Italy’s Brera district, at Corso Garibaldi 65.

The over two stories 1,291-square-foot space “reimagines retail as a space where architecture and community meet, blending Vans’ California heritage with the character of its local neighborhood,” according to a LinkedIn post from Vans announcing the opening. 

The store, which replaces a flagship in the Navigli district that has been closed, offers OTW by Vans collections, signature capsule collections, Vans classics and apparel, and a curation of partner products. 

Vans said, “Inspired by Milan’s design heritage, California’s creative spirit and Vans’ roots in skateboarding, music, art and culture, the space is more than a store–it’s a platform for creativity, community and cultural exchange.”
