Our favorite Californians at Vans have linked up with those dudes from across the pond, who happen to be in a little band you may have heard of--

The Beatles

--to introduce one of the most exciting collaborations to ever hit the streets. The iconic 

Yellow Submarine 

was released in 1968, just 2 years into Vans' existence. In other words, the two entities distant cousins of the same era are a perfect pair (pun intended).

The

Yellow Submarine 

animated film, based on a track by John Lennon and Paul McCartney[,] is propelled by Beatles songs, including “Eleanor Rigby,” “When I’m Sixty-Four,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,” “All You Need Is Love,” and “It’s All Too Much.” When the film debuted, it was instantly recognized as a landmark achievement, revolutionizing a genre with it's freestyle approach and innovative animation techniques, much like Vans.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' first appearance on 

The Ed Sullivan Show

, and the

Yellow Submarine

by Vans collection will highlight the group’s global influence on music, art and pop culture. The footwear capsule drops March 1, 2014 but you can go
