I received a request shortly following the death of former Philippine president, Corazon Aquino, to put art on a pair of canvas shoes as a tribute to her and her husband, Benigno Aquino, also a former Philippine president. They were two of the most influential figures in Philippine history and politics.
No matter what the surface, art is a connection, and it makes me happy that it can be spread anywhere, anyhow, and for any reason. RIP Corazon Aquino.
The same paint you would use to customize Nike’s and others of leather material. You’ll fall in love with Angelus.
Waterproof and smooth.
The Philippine Islands to be connected by a side of each shoe.
Sprayed with a finish, laced, and ready to be shipped.
Also, to all the victims of Typhoon Ondoy, my heart and prayers go out to you.
Help for Typhoon Ondoy Victims in the Philippines.
If you’d like to make a request, order a pair of custom Vans shoes, or receive a quote, email me at karoleen AT karoleendesign DOT com or visit the contact page to send a message from there. Prices vary depending on the type of shoe.

Wonderful, as usual. I am thinking of making a similar request of Vans. … In alibata. Similar to your other pair.
Keep up the great work! :)
