Vans AuthenticMattias Gollin Autentiche Rosetta

Product Description

The Vans Authentic Mattias Gollin Autentiche Rosetta is a hand-embellished Vans Authentic with a pink canvas base covered in densely packed pearls and rhinestones with variations in size and tone that create a layered, glossy, and nearly hand-set surface from across a room, completed with white laces, silver eyelets, and pink trim that keep the construction grounded in the classic Authentic silhouette beneath the embellishment. Each pair requires approximately eight hours of hand work applied in the Marche region of Italy, the same area of artisanal footwear craftsmanship where Gollin applies his signature beaded treatment across his Vans collaborations, with the creation process allowing roughly one pair per day before the design studio completes each Autentiche with the Mattias Gollin label on the tongue and branded insole. The Rosetta colorway name refers to the warm, floral, and spring-coded pink palette that distinguishes this April 2026 release from the original Autentiche's black and white checkerboard stone treatment that debuted exclusively at Art Basel Miami on December 5, 2025, shifting the embellishment aesthetic from a graphic and gemstone interpretation of the classic Vans checkerboard to a warm, monochromatic pink that reads as genuinely floral and Easter-appropriate given its April 5, 2026 drop timing. The off-white midsole and signature heel branding preserve the Authentic's original silhouette shape, ensuring the Rosetta reads as a Vans Authentic transformed by embellishment rather than a luxury object that has lost its skate heritage identity beneath the decoration.

Mattias Gollin is an Italian multi-disciplinary creative and design studio whose Vans collaborations began with pearl-covered Slip-Ons in 2024 before progressing to the full Authentic treatment in 2025 and the Rosetta release in 2026, each iteration expanding the Autentiche concept to new silhouettes and colorways while maintaining the essential approach of transforming a familiar everyday skate shoe into a wearable art object through intensive handcraft. The Marche region's standing history in high-quality footwear production provides the artisanal context that gives the Autentiche series its credibility beyond simply gluing gems to canvas, connecting Gollin's work to the broader Italian luxury goods tradition of region-specific craftsmanship that encompasses leather goods, jewelry, and footwear production. Released exclusively through the Mattias Gollin website on April 5, 2026 in unisex sizing at $750 retail, the Rosetta continues the Autentiche's positioning as one of the most premium and most handcraft-intensive Vans collaborations in the skate brand's collaborative history.

The Vans Authentic Mattias Gollin Autentiche Rosetta was released on April 5, 2026 with a retail price of $750.
