Known for their unexpected guest boards, Krooked teamed up with Vans to deliver on this tradition by bringing in Natas, who holds special meaning with both brands and who served as an inspiration to Ray Barbee during his formative years as a young skateboarder. A respected artist in the skate community and beyond, Natas tapped into iconic board graphics from the past—Ray’s Ragdoll and Natas’ Panther—updating them with signature Krooked eyes and bringing them to life across these slip on shoes. The Slip On VCU shoes feature Ray’s Ragdoll on the left and Natas’ Panther on the right, as well as the collection’s namesake debossed on the shoe’s sidewall.
