Acid Drop Low Tops

One look through the Vandalized Kicks inventory linked here shows that the designer is both artistic and knowledgeable. I highlighted a pair of Van slip-ons with Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietschze not too long ago that show that the designer is willing to go out on a limb creatively. The designer is back at it again with a pair of custom sneakers called the Acid Drop Low Tops.

Vandalized used psychologist and LSD advocate Timothy Leary as the inspiration for these shoes. The shoes are designed from the point of view of somebody who is tripping on acid. You can see monstrous faces, random body parts and lush colors on each shoe by looking at the pictures in this post.

The vibrancy of the Acid Drop Low Tops is only matched by the fear and paranoia created by Leary’s favorite drug. Vandalized Kicks has a pair of the Acid Drop Low Tops in a men’s 9.5 and women’s 11 through the website linked above. The list price for these shoes is $100 USD but you will get your money’s worth as you draw stares from pedestrians as you walk down the street.

Pink Thinkers Vans

Every college student who has sat through an intro philosophy class can appreciate the theme of Vandalized Kicks’ latest customs. These customized Vans slip-ons feature the likenesses of Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche set against pink fabric. I found this picture as well as product information for the Pink Thinkers at the Vandalized Kicks website linked here.

I like the use of captions on both shoes to highlight the fundamental beliefs of both thinkers. Nietzsche is shown on the right shoe saying “Fear is the mother of morality” while Sartre’s famous line “Hell is other people” is painted on the left shoe. If you take a look at pictures of both thinkers near the end of their lives, you will notice that the portraiture is fantastic on the Pink Thinkers.

You can still pick up a pair of the Pink Thinkers if you need a men’s size 9 or women’s size 10.5. Vandalized Kicks has the Pink Thinkers listed at $100 and the great detail explains the premium price.
