Takashi Murakami now into shoes

The meeting between Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and Vans has led to a new collection of multicolour shoes. Takashi is regarded as the international representative of New Pop, an art movement that emerged in the last decade and is an offshoot of British and American Pop Art of the Sixties. The new Vans line by Takashi Murakami concerns the skate shoes with the smiling daisies and skulls that made the artist famous. His unmistakable style is known for strong references to the world of Manga and an artistic style called Superflat. Vault by Vans is available in stores selected by the Californian street brand.
