Sneaker brand Vans has teamed up with Amsterdam’s prestigious Van Gogh Museum on a range of Van Gogh-inspired shoes and apparel.
The design of the sneakers feature some of the artist’s most renowned works, including Sunflowers, Skull and Almond Blossoms, as well as imagery of his handwritten letters. The collection features the iconic Vans silhouette sneaker, slip-on sneaker and high-tops, as well as a hoodie, T-shirts, bomber jacket, cap, backpack and sweatshirt.
Adriaan Dönszelmann, Managing Director of the Van Gogh Museum, says, “We are delighted with the Vans x Van Gogh Museum collection, as it ties in with our mission to make the life and work of Vincent van Gogh accessible to as many people as possible in order to enrich and inspire them.”
A portion of the profits will be put towards preserving the museum’s extensive Van Gogh collection.
