Vans is paying tribute to Mexican artist and activist Frida Kahlo by bringing some of her iconic pieces to life.
\nThe Vault by Vans x Frida Kahlo collection dropped Saturday in select stores across the United States.<\/p>\n

\nThe 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.
\nAnd 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.<\/p>\n

The sneakers range between $80-$95 and are available through select Vault by Vans retailers. The collection was done in partnership with Banco de M\u00e9xico and the images were approved by the Frida Kahlo Corporation.<\/p>\n

\nPreviously, the brand’s Vault series released collections inspired on near-extinct animals by Ralph Steadman and a military-inspired line by Japanese designer Taka Hayashi.<\/p>\n

\nKahlo’s artwork and her image have been featured in museums around the world and on jewelry and clothing. Last year, Mattel launched a Frida Kahlo Barbie doll as part of a batch of dolls based on historical figures.<\/p>\n

\nSince her death in 1954, the Mexican painter has become a pop culture icon and a model for feminist ideologies.<\/p>\n
