Vans x Frida Kahlo

Vans is paying tribute to Mexican artist and activist Frida Kahlo by bringing some of her iconic pieces to life.

The Vault by Vans x Frida Kahlo collection are in select stores across the United States. The trio of sneakers showcase a different painting of the famed Mexican painter. The OG Slip-On LX features Kahlo's 1940s "Self-Portrait with Necklace of Thorns and Hummingbird," while her 1939 self-portrait "Las Dos Fridas" is displayed on the OG Sk8-Hi LX -- the brand's classic high top sneaker.

And Kahlo's last known painting -- the 1954 "Viva la Vida, Watermelons" -- covers a OG Authentic LX along with the words "viva la vida" embroidered on one side.

Artful. Original.
