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.
