Claw Money Takes Graffiti Fashion to Nike

Claw (Claudia) Money has teamed up with Nike to create a new brand of Nike vandals exclusively for women.

The graffiti legend has combined her signature three nailed claw symbol with contrasting trims and laces teamed with printed peacock feathers in bright inks in the bold new designs.

Claw Money is most famous for her graffiti art work in New York but she is now the fashion editor for U.S. magazine Swindle has her own clothing line, Claw Money.

She also released her first book earlier this year. Bombshell: The Life and Crimes of Claw Money, is a unique insight into her life including her famous shoe box designs, photographs of past work, personal letters and other inspirations.

These are the first Vandals to be created for women . The cult trainers were originally designed for basketballers in 1985 but in the late 80s the style became popular among break dancers and skaters.

The limited edition designs hit the UK streets yesterday and are available in Foot Locker stores and in Dover Street Market.

Claudia is currently looking for a UK stockist for her label so she's definitely a name to watch out for next year.
