Vans footwear has crossed the line from skate/surf wear into the pantheon of All-American staples. In this latest pack, they’re also coopting the stylings of a legendary American artist. Late California dreamer Rick Griffin was probably most famous for his work designing trippy album covers for The Grateful Dead. Vans Vault added his skull-and-roses sensibility to a whole slew of silhouettes, including the Sk8-Hi LX, Mid Skool ’77, Old Skool ’77 and Slip-On. All of these are set to drop June 1st, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via HS
