Established in 2005, Black Claw is a small DIY label maintained by renowned tattoo artist Grime. All tees feature hand drawn graphics influenced by Grime’s interesting punk, skateboarding and tattooing. There are no seasons, and no backers. 
Grime owns Skull & Sword tattoo in San Francisco. He has toured with Don Ed Hardy as a painter. Recently he collaborated with Vans Syndicate on a series of 3 shoes. 

A while back we presented you the Vans Syndicate x Grime pack, which consists of two Slip-Ons and a Half Cab. Here comes now the t-shirt that comes with the pack. It just landed at In4mation stores on Hawaii.

As part of the Spring 2008 collection, Vans Syndicate got together with tattoo artist Grime. The artist worked on two Slip-ons and on a Half Cab. The sneakers come in a beige/black colorway, covered in the art by Grime.
Trustnobody has the pack in stock now. Check out all three sneakers in detail after the jump.

Vans Syndicate teams up with writer, tattooist and painter Grime. The artist, known for both his font work as well as his graffiti/tattoo art, designed a slip-on and a Half Cab for this collaboration. The shoes come in dirty white/black with graphics by the artist going over most of the sneakers.
Once again Vans Syndicate made a wise and interesting choice by collaboration with Grime, an artist that has deep roots in skateboarding and appreciation for the brand. We suspect that these will drop along with the Pendleton collaboration as part of the Vans Syndicate Spring ‘08 line. The sneakers will be released along with t-shirts, also designed by the artist.
