Vans joins forces with Gallery Dept. for an exclusive collaboration through OTW by Vans on the Authentic 44. Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of a painter’s studio, every detail of this collaboration merges disruptive art with classic craftsmanship.
Each pair is designed with a meticulously hand-painted aesthetic. Paint drips cascade across the toe, while subtle grease marks add depth and texture to the vamp and sidewalls. The clean quarters and heel act as a blank canvas, allowing the unique artistry on the upper to take center stage.
Embracing the beauty of spontaneity and imperfection, this collection honors the creative process itself. The „Art That Kills“ text wrapping the sidewall serves as a testament to the fearless, unapologetic nature of artistic expression
