Vans and the MoMA have joined forces yet again for the release of another collection that takes design cues from some of the New York museum's most prominent artists, including Salvador Dalí, Vasily Kandinsky, and Claude Monet.
The artwork-inspired designs are included on Vans Classic styles, with the unisex cuts making the collection accessible to all. For each design, Vans and the MoMA carefully considered the artistic expression of all of the artists—using their techniques to craft the pieces that pay homage to a specific body of their work.
The collaborative collection is set to release on September 30th 2020, and consumers can expect a second installment of the series to be released in November.
