While trends are moving away from wildly vibrant colors as the forefront of the sneaker world, every now and then some kicks’ release with crazy colors that are fresh. Coming up in September is the Vans x Dave The Chimp Pack. For those that don’t know Dave The Chimp, he’s a renowned street artist known for his “nameless” street works and fanzines. This collaboration is a lesser known Vans model, the Mid Skool Pro. Besides a clean look & a clever use of the color red, the sole is see through also! Here’s some details from Highsnobiety:
This capsule collection includes a reworking of the Mid Skool Pro alongside two t-shirts utilising bright neon colours and Chimp’s instantly recognizable characters and cartoon eyes. Special attention has been paid to detailing including tattooed toes on the inner footbed, which are mirrored through the trademark Vans waffle sole in crystal clear rubber.
Chimp believes the majority of people go through life asleep and it’s been his mission for over a decade through fanzines and street art to wake people up, switch on their brains and get them thinking for themselves! Walking his own path, but keeping one beady eye on what’s happening in the streets. Chimp’s first shoe for Vans also relates to today’s club kids, whose eye catching dress sense evokes a reaction from the rest of society – a way to prove they exist, to show they are really alive, really living.
Be on the look out for these in September!
