CUSTOM(er) SERVICE




























long before nike id, a significant element contributing to the ongoing legacy of vans footwear has been their willingness to satisfy the customer, namely through the making of customade shoes. from the very beginning, factory-to-you manufacturing methods allowed vans to create any colour combination possible & encouraged buyers to even provide their own materials! as such we have many unique one-off productions out there composed of anything from pieces of clothing to the kitchen curtains. you essentially can't get any more of a rarity than that, & for this paul van doren we thank you.
