hehe, cool. I wonder if i could wear them. I'm bit conservative with shoes - plain colours, that's it.

it's one of my favourite brands tho. if somebody check for a price and delivery info, let us know please. I might buy them, just for a crack.

I think those comes as "unique art pieces" hand painted?
dunno. that's the feeling the link gives me.
I don't like 'em much, to be honest...

uhler 01.29.2008 07:26 PM

i have a pair of circle jerks vans. i don't wear them much though.

bubblegum 01.29.2008 07:37 PM

they look a bit silly,in my opinion..but the whole idea of making a pair of sonic youth shoes is great:)

the ikara cult 01.29.2008 09:14 PM

Youd think they could use a different design

Why couldn't it been Evol?

flophousefloozie 01.29.2008 09:44 PM

I could make a pair myself.
What a swell idea. Anyone want to challenge me?

i was bidding on a pair of Vans/Converse? a few years ago that had the little alien head from dirty tiled all over them...i believe they were a legit promo as well... i think i ended up losing to some shoe collector.

H.P. Lovecraft by guest Karisa Winkel


At the moment I'm dying for a pair of custom painted Vans by H.P. Lovecraft NYC.

 


I met Hayley Parker, the up-and-coming DJ and designer, in New York City and was instantly wowed by her style. She is such a trend setter and is way, way ahead of us all. This girl is totally amazing and quite the entrepreneur-- and she's recently made a huge splash in the design world with her custom sneakers. Featured in Elle and Nylon magazine, H.P. Lovecraft NYC has so many admirers that even Madonna has a pair.

Check out these shoes featuring Lichtenstien, Sonic Youth, and The Misfits.

 

 

 

As you can see, Hayley's shoes feature rock bands, famous artists, and her own graffiti – all painted by hand on Vans, Keds, and Converse. You can even commission a custom design and with your own idea-- though you'd better get yours now before they're discovered by the masses. For around $100, they're well worth the cash.

They're currently for sale in Europe and on her website HPLovecraftNYC.com

And there's more! If you live in Provo, Utah, you're in luck. Hayley and her fiancée are opening an ultra-hip boutique on University Avenue. I can only imagine the amazing things for sale! So long as her shoes are there, I'll be the first customer.

I must say, that's a really fair price for something that implies a good amount of work. I believe that's the "rate" added to the actual cost of shoes...I mean, fucki* coverse chuck cost 69 fuckin' euros over here.

ZEROpumpkins 01.30.2008 04:54 AM

I can just see those shoes gettin' real Dirty.

mil_pl 01.30.2008 06:00 AM

they look shitty for me, goo is the weakest album for me :P

screamingskull 01.30.2008 09:39 AM

i could do that to my white low top converse for free. But i wont.

tesla69 01.30.2008 09:40 AM

poseur bullshit

screamingskull 01.30.2008 09:41 AM

i can see many emo kids buying them.

thanks for sharing though Moshe.

gmku 01.30.2008 09:41 AM

These look like something kids with big hair and parachute pants would wear in the 80s.
