Which way did he go? Some Vans for Brad.



Sometimes fun designs don't need to be overly thought out. Vans has a new line of cyclist vans. They don't lend themselves to detail will, but bold graphics work. I really like the black white (with a little silver).

The shoes come with black AND white laces. I think he should put in the black laces. What do you think?





Here is Brad, Brad has got a lot going on. He's teaching, starting an Italian tie company (I can't wait) and he's a fine salesman to boot (get it?). I think he could do any of those things well. He is figuring out which way to go. I hope these shoes will take him there.

Shout out to Smythers who came up with the name for these. As an experiment I use 10$ Walmart shoes (called no boundaries). I am wearing these RIGHT NOW (as I write, not as your read).

I tried these fellows out over the weekend and the force is strong with them.


The buttons are the chest plate of Darth Vader's costume. I like these shoes, but I think they lack the strong linear quality of some of my earlier designs. I have some other SW themed shoes that I will probably create soon. So far the main reason for creating them is fun names. Friends have suggested the following :
Bobba Feet (mine)
Imperial Walkers (Adam)
Ewalks (Cam)
ShoeBacca (Cameron again)

The Ewalks or ShoeBacca could be cool with gold on brown shoes. I already drew on my brown pair (pics coming soon), but you can never have too many shoes, can you? (Imelda Marcos, I am not talking to you).

Some of the names are better than the designs. But I have a white pair of vans aching to become storm troopers, and I will probably do some Bobba Feet for Adam's kid Gunner (if they get me the shoes). If anyone has other idea go ahead and throw them out.

Icarus made a pair of wings and flew too close to the sun. To keep it a little bit safer, I put the wings on the feet and didn't use wax.

I have been drawing a lot of feathers lately so they started making it onto some shoes.
