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.
Custom Vans Shoes
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.
But there's more to this business then just the goal of selling cool shoes.
Hand Painted by Local Artists
Knowing how difficult it is for artists to make money doing what they love, Hoffman started his business as a way to help out all his poor artist friends, and he's thrilled to be putting so many of them to work.A win-win situation, these artists get to make a few bucks while getting their creative fix, and customers get cool art on their shoes.
Supporting Local Charities
Improving the community doesn't stop there for Ben Hoffman and Your Kicks. Knowing that there are people in the world who might not have the option of buying custom shoes, Hoffman donates a portion of all sales is to Camp Harmony.Now in its 17th year, Camp Harmony helps homeless and underprivileged children from the Los Angeles area by providing them with "all the love they can take and all the food they can eat."
Great shoes, awesome art, and a giving mentality -- what's not to love?
