Customizing Vans Slip Ons isn’t a new game. Hell, Vans was one of the first brands that allowed customers the option to pick ANY fabric they wanted. In fact, I think I recall hearing a story from an Up Front guy about how he brought a carpet sample to the Vans Factory and had them made into sneakers. Now that’s legit.
But this here is a little different. This took artistry and a little paint magic to accomplish. If you compare the sneakers and the album cover, you’ll see how spot on the customization is (minus the red color. The sneaker red is a little BRIGHT for blood, but then again, it could just be a bad photo). Good for this artist. Sadly, the auction doesn’t say WHO painted them. But if you love Shark Attack*, you should pick these up. And if they aren’t your size, just stuff some extra sock down into the toes.
* if you don’t love Shark Attack, you probably have a few screws loose.
