In May we gave you word that Vans hooked up with "Counter Culture" cartoonist Robert Crumb. One of Crumb's most iconic characters, Mr. Natural's image is gracing the Vans Sk8 Hi. The kicks come in white base with Mr. Natural giving his words of wisdom on the side panel. The midsole reads Mr. Natural in red lettering and the Tongue also features the characters image. The sneakers are now available in Paris at Colette for 80 euros.
"Counter Culture" comic artist Robert Crumb's work will soon be featured on a collection of Vans sneakers.
Among the sneakers is the Mr. Natural deconstructed Sk8 Hi seen here, which will cost $60. The sneaker's upper is almost all white allowing a comic representation of Mr. Natural.
Also releasing is a Vans Slip-On featuring Fritz the Cat, a character, which inspired the first x-rataed animated film. The pair will run you $52.
The two remaining sneakers from the pack are from the premium Vans Vault line in leather and suede. The "Modern America" Chukka boot, which will run you $95 and the "Keep on Truckin" Authentic for $90.
All of the sneakers will release on the 1st of October 2009, with the first two mentioned available at shops that carry Vans, and the last two available at shops that carry Vans Vault products.
