These stylish graffiti and camo sneakers are the end product of a collaboration between Vans shoe company and Ron English. The sneaker collection called 'Camo Deer' is the second edition of the UBIQ X Vault by Vans and contains two styles.
English infused his culture-jamming style into each shoe. These graffiti camo sneakers designs are featured on two of Vans classic shoes that are the 'Sk8-Hi LX' and the 'Era LX.' English used his creative abilities to make a profoundly artistic piece of footwear.
Both of these shoes have a nature-inspired theme. Using deer and forested surroundings as inspiration, the shoes combine camo and graffiti in a playful and intricate way. The shoes feature rustic leaves, grass and brightly colored flowers. The Sk8-Hi LX version uses black sued panels and a playful deer while the Era XL has images of woodland scenes cascaded across the low-top shoe.
