Custom designer Van has created the Air Force Ones posted above to support the Save Darfur Coalition. This organization has gather support from 130 organizations who provide humanitarian aid to Sudanese families while advocating for a resolution to the atrocities in Darfur. It is great to see Van turn a serious philanthropic effort into a fantastic pair of custom sneakers.
Van’s depiction of Sudanese children shows the bleak state of affairs in Sudan. The stark black/gray/white relief used on the two children is representative of the unsafe conditions for men, women and children who are leaving the region for surrounding nations. Van uses the green/white symbol for the Save Darfur Coalition as the background for the shoe’s heel. The importance of this cause is highlighted with the phrase “Faces of Genocide” printed along the front of the shoe.
You can check out the Save Darfur Air Force Ones and other shoes at Van’s MySpace page linked here. We can all help out Save Darfur Coalition and its member organizations by signing up with the organization at this link.
