Vans Vault Era x Robert Williams

Collaborative footwear between artist and sneaker brands is a common today, however Vans has taken art very seriously on its latest release. Robert Williams has hooked up with Vans Vault to create a pair of the Era model. Williams actually painted the canvas used on the sneaker and added the texture to coincide with one of his art pieces. The canvas was then shipped to China where the sneakers were built. The kicks will release on the 31st of October 2009 exclusively at NYC based DQM.

Check out additional images and video of the sneakers after the jump.

NYC based artist and frequent sneaker designer Futura has once again hooked up with Nike on the Air Force 1. In fact four Nike Air Force 1’s, two lows and two highs have been created by Futura as part of the Nike Sportswear Spring 2010 collection.

Previously we have seen three sneakers from the collection: Nike Air Force 1 Low “Team Orange”, Nike Air Force 1 Low “Matte Silver”, and the Nike Air Force 1 High “Navy / Team Orange”.

Today, we have a look at the fourth and final sneaker from the collection, a Nike Air Force 1 High. Like the other sneakers from the collection the kicks feature a gradient perforated design with small holes that begin on the side panel, which extend to the heel with larger perforated holes. In terms of construction the kicks are built in a mix of leather and perforated leather in matte silver.

Unlike the other sneakers from the pack, the kicks do not read “BE” and “TRUE” on the respective right and left sneaker, rather they feature an abstract design in obsidian and team orange.

Look for these to release in February 2010 as shops such as the House of Hoops.
