Brooklyn-based Eric Elms is making early headlines in the new year with an interesting collaboration alongside Vans. The heralded artist has designed a pack of kicks along with two t-shirt designs for the famous California based footwear company. Two models feature what looks to be either suede or velvet uppers with a third pair coming in a black canvas colorway in a new hybrid sneaker of sorts. The collection is expected to hit retailers in July 2009, so stay tuned in the coming months for further updates.
