Artist Josué Thomas and his Los Angeles based brand Gallery Dept. are expected to launch an exclusive run of Authentic 44 in collaboration with OTW by Vans, December 11th. 

Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of a painter’s studio, every detail of this collaboration merges disruptive art with classic craftsmanship.Each pair is designed with a meticulously hand-painted aesthetic.

This collection honors the creative process itself. The "Art That Kills" text wrapping the sidewall serves as a testament to the fearless, unapologetic nature of artistic expression.
