The collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum and Vans has led to a one-of-a-kind collection of Van Classics and premium apparel, as a type of preservation of Van Gogh’s legacy and collection of art, which Adriaan Dönszelmann says will be “accessible to as many people as possible in order to enrich and inspire them.”

Van Gogh’s pieces instil beauty, emotion, and colour, bringing his personal expressions to life through his art. Each shoe is finished with custom footbed art and includes a special hangtag, highlighting historical facts behind each piece of Van Gogh’s art pieces.
