MoMA and Vans Faith Ringgold Era Sneakers

The MoMA and Vans collection is a collaboration that highlights celebrated artists from MoMA’s collection. For the allover print and printed sidewalls on these Faith Ringgold Era Sneakers, MoMA worked closely with Ringgold to uplift her feminist poster art, including Women Free Yourself (1971) and Freedom Woman Now (1971), a set of affirmative demands that were called during the arrest of Black political activist Angela Davis. These Faith Ringgold’s works are represented in MoMA’s collection. Each sneaker features a different artwork.

Features of the MoMA and Vans Faith Ringgold Era Sneakers Sneakers include:

• Sturdy textile uppers.
• Metal eyelets
• Padded collars.
• Signature rubber waffle outsoles.
