Often when someone or anyone mentions Vans instinctively you think of the  Slip-on’s or Sk8-hi’ Chukka’s or other classic Vans kicks. It’s very rarely that Vans is ever associated with a womans exclusive line. Luckily for the female Vans fans the Cali based company is staying on top of it’s game with the release of  three new Vans Wellesley’s , two of the three kicks will  feature art by Karen Richter who’s work has been seen everywhere from MTV to Boost Mobile ads and now along the upper of Vans. The third and final in the series will feature a bright “Off The Wall” print along the upper.

All three of the Vans Wellesley drops are now available at Vans Shop

Please, don’t let visions of Avril Lavigne skateboarding through a mall hamper your decision to purchase a pair of Vans as cool as these.

I love these blue and white checkerboard Sk8-Hi’s Karmaloop just added to its online store. Aren’t they cool?

Even better, the sneakers will only set you back fifty bucks. This means you’ll still have enough cash left over to invest in Karen Richter’s Wellesley mid-top, covered in the artist’s whimsical drawings.
