In August 2018, Vans joined forces with Amsterdam's renowned Van Gogh Museum to introduce a unique collection that showcases classic shoe styles embellished with artwork inspired by the post-impressionist painter. Among the collection, the Authentic model proudly displays Van Gogh's iconic self-portrait on its upper, while the custom sockliner inside features a design that imitates the artist's signature brushstrokes. To further highlight the collaboration, logos representing both Vans and the Van Gogh Museum are displayed on the insole of the shoe. The collaboration between Vans and the Van Gogh Museum allows art enthusiasts and fashion aficionados to enjoy and appreciate the timeless beauty of Van Gogh's masterpieces in a whole new and wearable way.
