Vans have opened the first ever global shoe customisation competition

Reckon you’ve got an eye for fashion? Think you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the global market? Well Vans have the competition that could change your life. Encouraging creative expression around the world, the team at Vans are offering $25K (US), plus a trip to Vans HQ in California, to the most popular kick design, as part of their new Custom Culture program.

And that’s not all – winners will also have their shoe produced and sold by Vans, AND will partner with Vans in selecting a charity to donate $100K to. Basically, you can go from designer to producer, to philanthropist in a few short weeks. Can you imagine how cool it would be to see people around the world wearing a shoe that you designed?!

Entries are open from now until September 29th, head here to start designing and for more deets:
