Vans Custom Culture Needs You

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Public Voting for the Vans Custom Culture contest is coming to a close. Get your vote on.

The Vans Custom Culture contest, which invites highschools to submit custom Vans designs to win money for art programs at their schools, is wrapping up. Until this Thursday at midnight you can vote to see five schools will be selected to travel to Los Angeles to participate in the final art showcase. The winning school will receive up to $55,000 towards their art programs.

To set some creative examples Vans sent blank Slip-Ons to a few of their favorite celebritiess, artists and designers like Conan O’Brien, Rachel Bilson and Kristen Stewart and asked them to customize the shoes. (See our very own Editorial Director Hana May’s shoes here.) Vans caught up with a few of these Custom Culture Ambassadors to learn more about their shoes. Watch the video below and see the full gallery of ambassador shoes here.

And be sure to see all the amazing artwork and vote for your top five schools here.

Were You Bad This Summer?

Friday, September 17th, 2010

We’ve been sporting Converse All Stars since we were young–playing basketball (trying to), kicking rocks (we still do), and just kicking it (forever will.) Things haven’t changed much, except for the size of our feet. And now that things are pretty much stable (in relation to shoe size our lives are a mess half the time) we can commit–to shoes that is. By now, you probably know that this summer Converse brought together three of music’s most influential artists–Kid Cudi, Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, and Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast to create the track “All Summer.”And now we’re going to bring you the fruits of their labor. We’re giving away a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor’s, a 7″ copy of the record, and a signed “All Summer” CD.

Summer is about being bad–bad in the sun, bad in the water, bad on the sand, bad on a stoop…you get the point. So to enter, be following us on Twitter and tweet at us the baddest thing you did all summer. Find us @heartymagazine 1, 2, 3, let’s hear it!

Bringing Friends Together

about_brixton_img1

If you like photography or having pictures taken of you, the monthly Brixton photo contest may be for you. Snap a photo of yourself and send it on over to Brixton. On the 1st of each month the winning photo will be displayed on the top right corner of their blog section and–the best part–the winning photographer will receive some new Brixton goods. To bring friends together we say, grab a friend that is slick with a camera, put your model face on and get snapping. When you win, share the Brixton goodies!
