You might be wondering if these could actually be bowling shoes. And the answer would be yes, indeed, these do look like bowling shoes. Los Angeles-based musician, artist and designer Deaton Chris Anthony teamed with Vault by Vans to pay homage to his home state of Kansas, and in Anthony’s words, “It is here where he thought he was meant to do one thing in life—bowl.” After being crowned bowling captain of his high school team, Anthony “unfortunately” left those parallel lanes for the life of a California artist. Luckily, Vault by Vans gave him the chance to make blowing stylish again. 

The Vault by Vans x Deaton Chris Anthony “Kansas” collection is available on Vans.com and select Vault by Vans retailers.
