Vault by Vans x Frida Kahlo

Following last year's collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, Vans Vault returns to pay tribute to another iconic artist: Frida Kahlo. The result is a capsule collection inspired by the work of the Mexican painter that includes three classic silhouettes of the brand Sk8-Hi, Authentic and Slip-On. The first model is characterized by the upper in a mix of green leather and canvas on which stands out the 1939 work Las Dos Fridas which portrays two Frida holding hands. One wears a traditional Tehuana costume and the other a more contemporary dress symbolizing the two souls of the woman. The star of the OG Authentic LX sneakers is an all-over print of cut watermelons from Viva la Vida, said to have been made just eight days before Kahlo's death in 1954. The look is completed by a contrasting white vulcanized sole and white laces. Finally, the OG Slip-On LX celebrates the famous Autorretrato with Collar de Espinas. The entire Vault by Vans x Frida Kahlo collection will be available from 29 June 2019 at selected retailers.
