This year Vans and UNIQLO, both well known clothing line internationally has released their Peanuts series. I'm not really that fond of buying clothes and shoes much. It just so happened that its the Peanuts characters that they have released in their clothing line that's why I became interested.
Vans recently released, this year (internationally, I think it was the middle of this year), and November of this year, they released it in my country. It is called the Vans X Peanuts series. I love it! From shirts, to pullovers, socks, backpacks, and sneakers they all got it Peanutized! I was really fortunate because I was able to buy foot socks, two Vans sneakers, the Peanuts Dance Party Calico design (this is the one in color pink), with matching backpack. I also got the Vans comics design sneakers, which I really like. Most of those who saw these sneakers all commented positively, saying its really nice. I also got the pullover (Charlie Brown, 'Good Grief' design for my birthday), and a Vans Snoopy shirt colored black. Vans used the original Charles Schulz Peanuts cartoons in all of their apparel.
Our pastor's wife, recently gave me for my birthday, a nice Snoopy shirt from UNIQLO. The series is called Kaws X Peanuts collection. It is in collaboration with American pop art artist, and designer, Brian Donnelly, more popularly known as KAWS. While Vans remains true to the Peanuts character design in their apparel. The Kaws Peanuts series in UNIQLO, altered the design a bit. I think this is the signature style of Donnelly (incorporating his design in a cartoon work, correct me if I'm wrong). Snoopy's eyes were drawn in x shaped (looks like Snoopy is dead, sorry! that's just what the design looks to me.). Plus, instead of Snoopy being known as Joe Cool, he has become Joe Kaws. Now, I get it its Kaws design of course! he!he!he! Anyway, they also have released Snoopy stuffed-toys, in black and white. I got one! The medium size costs around 1,990 Philippine Pesos. The toys of Brian, or KAWS, is really expensive. Fans of his, and collector of vinyl toys are familiar with his works. He's a popular pop-artist and designer. So getting a Kaws Snoopy is an alternative to owning a cheaper designed toy of KAWS.
If you're a Peanuts fanatic like me. You better check out the stores that I mentioned. Hurry, because these are just limited editions. If you wanna travel with the Peanuts gang wherever you go, better wear one of these. he!he!he! You can take the Peanuts gang wherever you go!
