There have only been a few UK artists to collaborate with major sneaker brands, Dave the Chimp becomes the most recent and is the first to team up with Vans. The Mid School is used as the base for the “Wake Up” sneaker. The Mid School mid consists of a white leather and printed canvas upper. Furthermore, sleppy tattooed toes appear on the insole, while a clear waffle sole reveals the toes.

In addition to pink laces, yellow and orange laces are also included to offer a counter to the dominant pink and white. Lastly, two shirts designed by Dave the Chimp will release alongside the sneakers, he also designed the exterior of the box. Fanzine/posters will be given away at the Vans stores located in London, Berlin and possibly Barcelona. Release is scheduled for September 24th. Via hb.
