Custom Vans: Limited Edition, Hand Painted Slip-Ons

Tuesday December 5, 2006

Over the last few years Vans, Nike, Converse and other major shoe brands have started offering consumers the options of personalizing their shoes by allowing them to choose colors and other custom options.

But what if you're looking for a pair of custom Vans shoes that are even more unique? One option is to check out YourKicks.net, where no two pair of shoes are ever exactly alike.

The brainchild of Ben Hoffman, Your Kicks offers Vans slip-ons that have been painted upon by local artists, and are released in limited editions.

The designs are unique, edgy, and cool -- so cool in fact, that they're being stocked at high-end shops like Kitson, the cutting-edge boutique frequented by celebrities like Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, and many more of Hollywood's Who's Who.

To learn more about these hot shoes, the cool company behind them, and the great cause they support, check out the full article on Custom Vans.
