Vans announce its forthcoming collaboration with Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami. World-renowned for his vibrant paintings and stunning sculptures, Murakami’s anime-inspired aesthetic blurs the line between high and low arts in his distinctive “Superflat” form that has amazed artistic minds across the globe. With a mutual admiration for one another and shared desire for creative expression, Vans and Murakami come together to present a deluxe, limited edition range of footwear, apparel and skate decks through Vans’ premium label Vault by Vans. The Vault by Vans x Takashi Murakami collection will be released at select boutique retailers in late June.
