In an effort to raise awareness about endangered species, beloved illustrator Ralph Steadman teamed up with Vans in May 2019. Together, they launched the Ralph Steadman x Style 138 LX 'Whale' sneaker, which showcases a striking design of a fin whale on a canvas upper. This majestic creature's population has significantly declined due to various factors like climate change, pollution, shrinking habitats, and hunting. Keeping true to Vans' iconic style, the shoe comes with an autoclave sole featuring a durable rubber tread.
