Vans announces limited-time footwear collaboration featuring four rising Black artists in honor of Black History made every day. This initiative showcases four creatives who are pushing culture forward and paving the way for generations to follow. The artists include
Rewina Beshue, whose scope of work ranges from multimedia, painting, printmaking, and graphic design;
Sydney G. James, a fine artist and muralist and one of the leading creative voices in southeast Michigan;
Chris Martin, a multidisciplinary artist that explores the African Diaspora and spotlights the rich history of The South; and
Tony Whlgn, a visual artist who creates on unconventional mediums and has worked with Marc Ecko, Joey Badass, Big K.R.I.T. and NYC’s KITH. As Vans remains committed to continuously uplifting the voices of marginalized communities, the partnership with these four unique artists reinforces the powerful role self-expression plays in drawing awareness to the diverse representation of creativity brought to life.
