The Authentic offers up a visual manifestation of “Uncle Toons Mart”, printed in Mister Cartoon’s classic tattoo-influenced style. The fine line gray and black print is bound with white sidewalls reading “Uncle Toons Mart” and “NEIGHBOORHOOD” in the unmistakable Mister Cartoon cursive typography.

Three-way collaboration between Vans, streetwear label Neighborhood and famed artist Mister Cartoon will merge Tokyo and Los Angeles street style.

To accomplish this, Neighborhood and Mister Cartoon remixed a pair of Vans icons — the Authentic 44 DX and the Old Skool 36 DX — using the fictional “Uncle Toons Mart” liquor store as the theme. According to Vans, the sneakers aim to unite “the backstreets of Tokyo’s Ura-Harajuku district and the streets of Mister Cartoon’s Los Angeles” to create “a serendipitous melding of Tokyo street style and Los Angeles street life.”
