GALLERY DEPT x Vans Authentic Canvas Print

Josué Thomas embraces his creative process in this highly coveted GALLERY DEPT x Vans Authentic “Canvas Print”. The latest collaboration between the Los Angeles-born artist and OTW by Vans reflects on the raw energy and ongoing cycle of creativity inside a painter’s studio. This unique approach elevates the Authentic 44’s design as it wears over time, which captures the narrative that a sneaker is an art that moves and transforms.

This skate shoe boasts a beige canvas base with a multicolour paint splatter on the forefoot area. Scuffs on the midsole enhance the colourway’s pre-distressed look, while the red “ART THAT KILLS” text nods to Josué Thomas’ creative label. The royal blue line wraps around the top portion of the rubber foxing stripe for a pop of colour. A yellow co-branded tag adorns the lateral quarter, complementing the branding on the footbed and the “OTW” logo on the heel. Below, the durable waffle sole delivers grippy traction on the skate deck. This GALLERY DEPT x Vans Authentic 44 arrives in a special-edition box donning “Handle With Care” labels.
