“The quality of the design, creativity, and effort that goes into each pair of shoes these students create never seizes to amaze me,” said Mitch Whitaker, General Manager of Vans North America. “We’re proud to bring back Vans Custom Culture in a new way and we’re excited to award even more funding to schools in need. Vans Custom Culture taps into the core of what Vans stands for: encouraging youth creativity and enabling self-expression through art.”
