Vans, la marca de ropa y calzado original para deportes de acción, se ha asociado con el aclamado artista contemporáneo japonés Takashi Murakami para dar vida a una ecléctica colección de Vault by Vans, la línea premium de Vans. Aclamado por sus cuadros vibrantes, sus esculturas y diseños inmaculados, Murakami hace de su modelo favorito de Vans, las Classic Slip-On, el objetivo para su siguiente proyecto, unas zapatillas que además usa todos los días en su estudio. La colaboración Vault by Vans x Takashi Murakami también presenta una selección artística de prendas de ropa y tablas de skate que estará a la venta a finales de junio.
El estilo artístico con influencias del anime de Murakami es famoso por la incorporación de colores, formas e imágenes alegres inspirados en el arte tradicional japonés y la cultura pop. Generalmente reconocida como una forma “super plana”, un término que él mismo ha inventado, su obra es conocida por desdibujar la línea entre el arte clásico y el arte popular. Para el otoño de 2015 dos de los motivos recurrentes de Murakami, la flor sonriente y la calavera, cobran vida en una selección de las zapatillas Slip-On, tablas de skate y camisetas de edición limitada.
Vans partners with acclaimed Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami for an eclectic collection under Vans’ premium label, Vault by Vans. Celebrated for his vibrant paintings, as well as his immaculate sculptures and designs, Murakami makes his favorite Vans silhouette, the Classic Slip-On – which happens to be the shoe he wears in his studio every day – the focus of his next project. In addition to footwear, the Vault by Vans x Takashi Murakami collaboration brings forth an artistic assortment of apparel and skate decks for release in late June.
Murakami’s anime-influenced aesthetic is renowned for its incorporation of lively colors, shapes and imagery inspired by traditional Japanese art and pop culture. Now generally recognized as a “Superflat” form, a term he himself coined, his work is known for blurring the line between high and low arts. For fall 2015, two of Murakami’s recurring motifs – the smiling flower and skull patterns – are brought to life in a limited edition selection of Slip-Ons, skateboard decks and tees.

CALZADO
En su colaboración con Vans, Murakami presenta las Classic Slip-On, en seis colores unisex para adultos junto a tres modelos para niño. La primera mitad de la gama de adultos incorpora el estampado de la flor sonriente en tonos azules, multicolores y plateados, mientras que en la segunda mitad el motivo de la calavera es el protagonista en tonos azul oscuro, amarillo y dorado. Incluso Pom, el perro de Murakami, hace un cameo y aparece en la plantilla de cada Slip-On sentado en el logo de la tabla de skate de Vans.
For his collaborative footwear capsule, Murakami presents the Classic Slip-On, in six adult-unisex colorways alongside a trio of toddler-sized offerings. The first half of the adult assortment showcases the smiling flower print in blue, multi-colored and silver line variations while the second half highlights the allover skull arrangement in a darker blue, yellow and gold line color-ups. Murakami’s own dog, Pom, makes a cameo on the footbed of each Slip-On as she sits atop the Vans skateboard logo. 
NIÑO
Los modelos para niño tienen un estilo de colores más atenuado, presentando un estampado con una sola imagen de la flor, la calavera o el perro Pom de Murakami en la punta de cada empeine.
The toddler-sized shoes from the collection are stylized in a more subdued set of color-ups that feature single image prints Murakami’s flower, skull and Pom on each toe vamp.
ROPA Y TABLAS DE SKATE
La colaboración Vault by Vans x Takashi Murakami se completa con tres estilos gráficos de camisas y tablas de skate. Las camisetas incluyen la flor sonriente en un collage multicolor, el estampado de la calavera con contornos plateados por todas partes, y al mismísimo Murakami sobre un fondo azul. Las tablas de skate incluyen esos mismos patrones en su parte interior con la aparición añadida de Pom en la parte superior acabada en madera de cada tabla.
