I love Vans, and I love customized merch. I played around with the idea of customizing a pair of New Eras. After that I saw new horizons, what other shoes can I try this with?
SLIP ONS.
How would it look with some of my graphics? Having them printed on the heel and the top areas of the shoe construction. The graphics are from a few years ago, I recycle shirt graphics often because I know they’re pretty transferrable when it comes to use cases. I created a retro stripe that goes along the heel and side panels to compliment the heel and tongue artwork.
The color palette is inspired by retro palettes from the ‘70s.

Why not push the boundaries a bit, a shoe box to go with the snazzy Vans concepts. Shoebox mock display branded with the graphic kit used on the New Eras and the slip ons.
