Vans Vault worked for Fall 2009 once again extensively with artist Rick Griffin. Aside from the Slip-On that we already presented, they also worked on the Sk8 Hi, Old Skool and Mid Skool. All three sneakers come with a black base in different kinds of leather and canvas and feature lots of custom artwork, graphics and customization. The customization happens on the upper, sole, as well as the lining, making the pack certainly stand out. Furthermore the packaging is also designed by the artist. The pack is now available at Flauge.
