8 Dec
Summary
- New Vans Authentic collab features black canvas with paint splatters.
- Gallery Dept. branding replaces traditional Vans tags.
- Release date is December 11th for $150.

Los Angeles-based brand Gallery Dept. has once again partnered with Vans for a distinctive collaboration, this time on the Authentic silhouette. This new release, branded under the premium OTW by Vans sub-label, follows their previous cream iteration from March.
The "Art That Kills" Authentic showcases a black canvas base, creatively disrupted by vibrant, multi-colored paint splatters primarily on the toe box. Distinctive branding elements include "Gallery Dept." replacing the standard Vans label on the midfoot, with the phrase "Art That Kills" emblazoned across the midsole.
This marks the latest in a series of collaborations between Gallery Dept. and Vans, with their first joint venture, the "Good Luck" Old Skool, launching in May 2023. Fans can anticipate copping the "Art That Kills" Authentic starting December 11th for $150 at select retailers and Vans.com/otw.
