After a series of previews, the Vans Vault collaboration between legendary artist Ralph Steadman has been laid out for fans. Now that the entire series is about to go on sale, we’re releasing the official information to find out more details and profound implications behind the collaboration.
Known in Britain as Ralph Steadman, the 82-year-old Steadman excels at political comics and social satire, and he also paints with a distinctive splash of ink. The self-proclaimed “cruel satirist” Ralph Steadman will borrow OG sk8-hi LX, OG Style 138 LX, and OG slipon-lx, three classic shoe types, totaling eight different shoe types, to make people ponder the protection of endangered animals.
Extinct Boids, Nextinction and Critical Critters are three books written by Ralph Steadman and Ceri Levy, an author and filmmaker, that encourage awareness of Extinct animal populations through unique and artistic perspectives.”
Our understanding has always been that in order for people to pay attention to something heavy, you need to express it in a light way, even with a moral that makes them smile. If we just tell people, ‘you’re horrible assholes, and you’ve screwed up, wait for the good stuff. ‘the typical response is:’ oh, whatever. ‘but if you make it easy for them, you have a chance to get their attention. Ceri Levy explains what environmentalism means.
Yesterday, the Vans Vault held a joint event at the recently opened independent store on New York’s lower east side. Ralph Steadman was there, attending the event and working with WildAid on a charity exhibition featuring many of the paintings. Vans has donated $10,000 to WildAid to help curb the illegal wildlife trade, preserve the balance of Marine life and mitigate climate change.
Ralph Steadman joint of every item tells the story of an endangered species, not just through the art form to express the environmentalism, Vans and to implement it to production of the entire series item: signed a series of complete eight pairs of shoes and 5 T-shirt, all adopt to the environmental protection, the most sustainable materials, including organic cotton and recycled 100% of the product packaging.
The number of lions in Africa and Asia has plummeted from 450,000 in the 1940s to 20,000 today. Hunting by humans has been a major factor in the decline of the lion population and a major threat to them. To bring attention to the phenomenon, Ralph Steadman turned his knowledge and understanding of lions into a blood-red painting for the OG sk8-hi LX on both sides of the shoe and used darker homologous colors in detail to alleviate visual fatigue.
Food shortages, habitat destruction and human poaching have all contributed to the decline. To raise awareness and awareness of the zebra, Ralph Steadman used the black-and-white stripes on both sides of the OG sk8-hi LX canvas. One side features the stripes, while the other focuses on the zebra.
People must stop eating whale meat. Habitat destruction and loss, Marine pollution, climate change and, above all, commercial whaling threaten the lives of these magnificent Marine animals. To expose the shocking condition, Ralph Steadman has attached an artistic figure of a fin whale, created by himself in his Critters Critical book, to the sides of the Vans Vault’s OG Style 138 LX shoe, and the rest of it is an ocean of deep blue.
In Colombia, costa rica and panama, the lemur leaf frog population has plummeted to more than 80 percent of its total, threatening to wipe out the entire population. Ralph Steadman used his frog print on both sides of the iconic half-moon encased OG Style 138 LX shoe to raise awareness and help preserve the species.
Over the past 100 years, bluefin tuna populations in the Pacific have plummeted by 96 percent. Illegal fishing has been fuelled by an overabundance of tuna, which has put the bluefin tuna on the market for millions of dollars. To save The precious fish, Ralph Steadman painted these unusual “blue” swimmers On The front and back of The OG slipon-lx, with The words “Off The Wall” in The background to enhance their protection.
There are only 275 species of bees left on the planet, and they make and pollinate all the world’s honey crops. Ralph Steadman combined the ultra-realistic bee pattern with the Vans Logo to create a patchwork of OG slipon-on LX toe tips and heels to bring attention to these nearly extinct insects.
The prints Ralph Steadman used for this collaboration with the Vans Vault are artistically, creatively and expressively designed to raise awareness and awareness of threatened species. And so Ralph Steadman combined the iconic checker pattern of Vans with his splash painting style, an image that showcases the blood of animals spilling across the ocean, a true representation of the world’s endangered Marine life.
What is “environmentalism”? It is through the act of environmental protection, to achieve the protection of nature, ecology and environment. Environmental protection refers to the protection, preservation, management or restoration of wildlife and natural resources, including forests, soil and water. So environmentalists are a different kind of people, and also a group of people from the absurd nonsense in search of meaning. The slogan “I’m an environmentalist” was printed On the top of the OG slipon-lx, with the classic checker element of Vans printed in the middle.
