Vans are teaming up with Austin-based No-Comply Skate Shop to launch a new clothing capsule with Daniel Johnston's art, and it'll benefit the Hi, How Are You Project.

It was only last month that Supreme launched their Daniel Johnston capsule, and now Johnston's artwork will be used for the new Vans x No-Comply capsule collection.

The new merch line will feature shoes, t-shirts, hats, and tote bags with Johnston's artwork, and a portion of the sales will benefit the Hi, How Are You Project - which aims to promote mental health awareness.
