The Vans x Dennis Hopper Collection is a collaborative effort between the skateboarding brand and the late actor who unfortunately passed away before he could see the clothes come to life.
Aside from acting, Dennis Hopper was quite a talented man who dabbled in various artistic mediums, most noticeably photography. Before he passed away, Hopper was working with Vans to release a series of outfits. Although he may not be here anymore, Dennis Hopper at least has a clothing collection launched as an homage in his name. The designs of the graphic tees are actually based on some of his most well-known artwork and photography. The collection also consists of hats as well as footwear in the style of sneakers and Chukka boots. This is definitely one of the best collaborations released this year.
