Vans stole my concept. They couldn’t stand the fact a Black man marketed this design so well. Plus my version looked better than the ones they released.
Hi, twitter. I got bored one day and turned my white Vans into cows. Now, it just so happens that @VANS_66 is having a contest, so I entered. If my design is chosen, I win $25,000 and these will become a shoe. If you want to own a pair one day, RT this!
