Neck Face and skateboarding are like bread and butter. Ok, maybe that was a bad analogy but the young graf artist has hung out with some of Vans top skaters so it was natural for Vans to ask Neck Face to design some of their shoes. Here is a look at some upcoming Neck Face x Vans sample pictures we were able to get our hands on. Not much information on these yet other than that they will be released this year. Stay tuned for more info!

Here’s an auction going down featuring allegedly artwork by artist Kaws, Faile and Neck Face. Taking place on a good ol’ 1996 Dodge Ram, the art work is of unknown authenticity, but perhaps a buyer could parade it around and lure streetwear kids in with promises of free t-shirts… modified Bangbus styles. The eBay link can be seen here.
