Barack Obama Custom Sneakers 1

Barack Obama is all over the place. You see his campaign signs along all the roads and his face plastered all over the newspapers and TV. Now you even see his face on a pair of custom Air Force Ones which have been designed by an artist named Van or Van20. Instead of a flashy colorway or the use of patterns and materials, Van used his pure artistic talent for these. Each shoe includes an image of Barack Obama which i have to say is pretty impressive. The portraits of Barack Obama are of two different facial expressions and the rendition is spot on. Besides the Obama portraits which are enough to catch the eye, Van has also included the two sayings which Barack Obama is always caught saying; “Change” and “Yes We Can”. All this along with a few stars, a simple grid pattern, the Barack Obama logos and some fading these custom sneakers are a pair which is defiantly unique in my book. Obama voter or not. Check out Vans Myspace page here and hit him up with all your comments and requests for customs sneakers.

    This is the greatest idea ever. The money that you raise for this would be a great for the campaign.

    Please let me know where I can order a pair for my son.

    Keep up the great ideas!

    YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!! Only a moron would buy these, or for that matter vote for Obama, “We gonna CHANGE things” amazing how easily people are distracted by such a small word like CHANGE.. want an even smaller one that actually matters.. HOW… answer that one Obama, or WITH WHAT… all these CHANGES are not going to be free! Or did you forget that part or economics?

    OK Outside of schooling anyone who is that ignorant to Obama bash (You must be on his shit surfing web pages with AF1s with his face all over them)You all keep throwin punches but every time he gets right back up and we are all still standing right there. That’s what makes me NOT a typical white person- LOL!! But I’ll leave it at that. I have to have these. Has Nike caught on yet or will they? Can we buy them yet anywhere? We definitely want some in the ‘Cuse!! Van should hit up some Vans too!! :) …… YES WE CAN!!!

    okay Mr.Van it”s been a couple of months since you”ve made the shoes… When are you going to release them??? Why have and produce such a great idea and not be ready to out sell them? I’m not downing you at all..I love the shoes and can”t wait to buy a pair but could you let us know when…plese

    Ok…now I can say that you totally suck! So many people were interested in these sneaks. Since I can’t get these from you….I WILL HAVE THEM MADE BY ANOTHER CUSTOM ARTIST COPY THIS STYLE….smiling…thanks for the idea…..

    June 23rd, 2008 at 12:54 am

    I have had enough and that is why I second Tasiajay motion. Somebody else can produce the same kind of sneaks and sale them earlier than you guys. You do not want to be sleeping over this for too long, do not keep us waiting for this long. At first I thought you guys were waiting for Obama to secure the nomination, now that he did, you still have not released the sneakers. I say it is about time you do it.

    June 23rd, 2008 at 2:18 am

    release what sneakers? We do not sell anything and we never have and never will…Please take the time to read the post about the article your responding to cause it usually gives you all the info you need to know about the sneakers…They are CUSTOM, meaning they were designed by an artist…1 of a kind…Nothing to be released…

    June 23rd, 2008 at 2:22 am

    Well Tasiajay, it seems your the one who sucks…At reading….Practice on that a little bit and then come back…Im sure you could of found out A LOT more info about getting these made if you just took the time to learn how to read a little bit….All the info about who created them and where you can reach them has been posted in the article….So next time do yourself a favor and read a little bit instead of making comments which make yourself look stupid for missing the obvious..

    Hey, I’m 11 years old and wanted to know how much those sneakers are, what sizes i could get them in and how much they are. It would be great if I could get some because I go to a school with mostly republican and I’m taking a big chance of getting beat up if I wear these. It’s not good to get beat up I know but it’s saying that I will stand up for what I belive in like barack does.

    Joe…Shut the hell up, if I wanted your comment I would have asked for it…My comment was not for “JOE”…and the next time you feel the need to correct someone…think about your own actions and deeds in and around town, and dealing’s with everyday people. I AM SURE YOUR MISCONCEPTIONS about people and situations are not PERFECT…but then again your post makes you appear as if you are JESUS CHRIST LIKE….smiling deeper….

    Besides I thought this site was about the sneaks and not the critique of the people that post….

    *mind your business* or better yet…GET SOME…

    I think the 2 pissed off posts are just frustration that we cannot have something. Usually, we see something we want advertised and figure out how much overtime it’ll cost ( :) ) and go get em. This is a situation where we can’t do that. I haven’t posted in months but reading the others I must say- What other sneakers woulkd have parents and children fiendin for the same kicks?!! That is a beautiful thing! Embrace that and find an artist to hook you up! YES WE CAN!!

    As for ‘gottabe’, you gottabe kidding me. Change is inevitable. It’s the only thing that’s constant. Now what kind of change depends on us… the doers not the haters. Haters get nothing done because they’re too busy hating. So step aside with your small talk and even smaller thinking so we can be inspired and be proud to be an American for the first time since 2000.

I must say that when I saw these shoes, they almost brought tears to my eyes. Please tell me when these shoes come out and how I can purchase them. I really want these shoes, you have no idea! Thank you!!!! He is someone I look up to and I thank GOD for that man!!!!!!!! Yes he can, and I believe he will.
