Vans and No Comply Honor Daniel Johnston with New Collection

Honoring the artistic world is nothing new for Vans. From its collaboration with New York's Museum of Modern Art to its Frida Khalo-inspired set that featured her self portraits on a multitude of silhouettes, Vans will continue to pay its tribute for the foreseeable future.
This time around, the sneaker brand has teamed up with Austin-based skateshop No Comply on a collection that celebrates its 15th anniversary alongside late visual artist Daniel Johnston.
His artwork comes splattered across a range of footwear and apparel that see vibrant touches infused into the Vans Half Cab, Grosso Mid, and Slip-On Trek.
On the apparel side, t-shirts, polos and caps don creative illustrations that feature co-branded hits alongside the selection of kicks.
Encouraging conversations on mental health, a portion of the sales will be donated to the “Hi, How Are You Project”, a non-profit organization inspired by the late artist's love for mural painting.
The Vans x No Comply collection will release via a pop-up held at The Contemporary Austin - Jones Center on March 19th and online on March 20th on the No Comply and Vans webstores.
