The range launches later this week.

The first look at Vans’ Nightmare Before Christmas collection is here – and we want them all.

There was the Harry Potter collab that cast a spell over fans; the Toy Story range that had us all humming along to You’ve Got A Friend In Me. 

There was also the Mickey Mouse collection that coincided with the iconic character’s 90th anniversary.

Now though, it’s AW19 and that could only mean one thing: a Nightmare Before Christmas Vans collection.

And after the retailer had previously teased the impending collaboration on Instagram, we’ve got some good news – the first look at the shoes are finally here.

Vans said they were inviting “all ghouls, ghosts and goblins” to celebrate the holidays with some of Halloween Town’s most iconic characters.

The description continues:

“With a 10-piece footwear offering complimented by a range of apparel and accessories, Vans designers highlight a variety of film moments and character bounding interpretations that honors Vans and Disney’s long collaboration.

“The Vans and Disney Tim Burton’s ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas’ collection goes on-sale October 4 and invites fans to step into the imagination and artistry of the cult-classic film.”

And one of the most well-known scenes from the movie – Jack’s Lament – is featured on the Sk8-Hi, with the four panels showcasing a frame from the walk through of the Halloween Town cemetery.

A special message that reads “Nice Work, Bone Daddy” on the inside collar completes the design.

Additionally, the Jack Pull Over Hoodie features a special rendition of Jack’s Lament with a Checkerboard spiral hill.

Disney bounding fans can channel the film’s beloved couple, Jack Skellington and Sally; with the Pumpkin King’s ghostly suit (including cat and bat wing applique) mimicked on the classic slip on.

Dr. Finkelstein’s master humanoid creation, Sally, receives her very own Era Stacked silhouette and Sally Patchwork Crew.

Inspired by her very creation, each style is collaged with various prints from her dress while the Era Stacked features hand-stitched detailed as a nod to Sally’s unique beauty.

You can find out more about the collection here. The Vans x Nightmare Before Christmas collection goes on sale on October 4.
