Whilst footwear may not be the most conventional base for an artist’s design, it’s a guarantee that a person’s shoes are going to see a much larger and more diverse audience than any wall-bound canvas could ever hope for. Especially if you actually wear them…

The white Vans Authentic is an artist’s dream when it comes to porta-painting as it’s flat silhouette and large, uncomplicated panels provide the perfect canvas for anyone looking to put their own spin on a pair of classics.  Countless renditions of the Vans Authentic have been produced by artists from all over the world and we recently received a pair from a local artist by the name of Mugurel, who’s left no millimeter untouched by his intricate, highly detailed markings. In a world where nothing is sacred and fashion recycles itself every five minutes, Mugurel has created a timeless piece of wearable art that can never be duplicated.

If you’re interested in owning your own pair of one-offs, feel free to call Janeka on 0405837848 and if any of you guys have some customs you’d like us to spotlight, send them through to hal@highsandlows.net.au!
