Man, when I was a kid EVERYONE wanted a pair of checkerboard Vans just like Jeff Spicoli wore in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. At that moment in time, that was the epitome of cool.
But you know what’s a million times cooler than Jeff Spicoli’s pair of checkerboard Vans?
Jeff Spicoli’s checkerboard Vans on a pair of Vans!
“People on ‘ludes should not design shoes.”
The super-talented Alexis Winslow designed this pair for a charity art show. Her piece, “The Creation of Spicoli,” is a not-so-subtle homage to Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam,” featuring Spicoli as Adam and, of course, Mr. Hand as God.
This pair is hand-painted and hand-embroidered.
The backs of the shoes feature the infamous Fast Times at Ridgemont High quotes, “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice,” and “Learn it, Know it, Live it.”
“What are you people? On DOPE?”
