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.
