More Custom Design Shoes on Vans Slip-Ons

Our Punk Your Chucks post was a pretty popular one, and it featured a New York City artist who hand paints shoes with custom designs. Over at YourKicks.com, a Beverly Hills shoe company, each Vans slip-on shoe is also hand painted with custom unique designs using acrylic paints that are coated with a protective layer to preserve the artwork. From what I've seen, their work is extremely detailed and carefully crafted. If you're looking for originality and rare Vans, I would suggest checking out Your Kicks and seeing what they have to offer.

Punk Your Chucks - Custom Hand Painted Shoes

I have always been a fan of unique creations, and having a pair of custom designed shoes is a great way to get compliments. Punk Your Chucks is a website that features an urban New York City artist with a lot of talent. Artist AKA MAG offers custom hand painted converse Chuck Taylor sneakers (Chucks), clothes, Vans, Air Force Ones, tote bags, pumps, and urban vinyl toys. This guy is so good that even celebrities have commissioned him to do work for them - celebs from Will Smith, Tommy Lee, Kelly Clarkson, the producers of Twilight movies, and more!

Yes, this is yet another post about shoes paying tribute to a classic - This time it's Vans designing some kicks for Kiss. Dubbed The Rock and Roll Over Sk8-Hi collection, it features original album artwork on the first-ever high top performance skate shoe to really make a difference. Originally released in 1966, Sk8-Hi shoes are known for being clean, simple, and packed with extra padding around the ankles to help cut down on skaters' ankle injuries.
