VANS recently had a Custom Culture high school art contest this year, featuring shoes customized by several celebrities, musicians, and artists, to raise awareness for the program. Dennis McNett did a really awesome pair!  While you’re at it, you check out the new Offthewall site.

Catch the first installment of Offthewall.tv’s 2012 Vans Custom Culture coverage. In this episode we take a look internally at some of Vans’ very own artists and designers. This crew creates art daily and wouldn’t be where they are without quality inspiration and compelling art education in their formative years.
