Vans x Donny Miller und die Geschichte hinter der Kooperation könnt ihr hier in Kurzform nachlesen. Donny Miller ist in L.A. geboren und hat schon für viele führenden Action Sport Firmen gearbeitet und auch Bücher heraus gegeben...Seine Kunst ist wohl "besonders" in unserem Metier und unverkennbar. Bitte lest selbst, was Donny über die Welt und Schuhe denkt...:
“When Vans asked me to make a shoe, I wanted to make something everyone was familiar with, but had never seen before. This has only happened twice in history. Once when the tandem bicycle was invented and again when chocolate was combined with peanut butter.” – Donny Miller
Donny was born in Los Angeles and began his career early in art, working at a screen printer. From there he worked as an art director and creative director at top action sports companies. His fine art has been shown internationally, while his first book, Beautiful People with Beautiful Feelings, was released in 2006 to excellent reviews and has garnered a cult following.
Donny considers himself an absurdist conceptual artist. His art focuses on bringing an intellectual element to a mostly otherwise vapid, primitive and repetitive era in art.
Donny studies Muay Thai kickboxing and appreciates a good beating.
Donny created this short video for the launch of the Vault by Vans Donny Miller Slip-Up. These Classic Slip-On LX will be availa
