Last weekend, IAMSOUND and Vans Classics invaded the capital city of Texas for a party packed with live music, interactive installations and exclusive sneakers. Austin artist Sophie Roach saw her work showcased at the event, with skate shoe staples from Vans proving a classic canvas for her illustrations.
Sophie’s sneakers see nature versus city themes taking to the uppers of the Slip-On and Authentic models, with vivid detail and water graphics splashing up on the timeless skate silos. A mix of angles and organic shapes detail each India ink penned illustration, brought to life with acrylic paint and a technical pen. Fans of Sophie Roach can keep up with her work via Instagram and her portfolio site. Vans fans in select cities worldwide can RSVP here to attend the next Vans Classics party for a fun time and a chance at artist exclusive kicks that represent their city’s local flavor.
