Vans is teaming up with small businesses throughout the community in hopes to help them out through this tough time. I am proud to be an ambassador and partner with Vans on the Foot the Bill initiative! I have nominated Kings Ride Shop to design their own pair of customs. You can support their business and shop their design now on vans.com/footthebill. Along with Kings Ride Shop, The Wheel Mill is also a Foot The Bill partner! Help support BMX, links to their customs below. <3 Angie

More about Foot The Bill
Dear Vans Family,
We know how important small businesses are: We were one. You helped us become what we are, and we want to help our community and extended members of our Vans Family during this difficult time. We have partnered with local and community-driven skate shops, restaurants, art galleries and music venues to support them with custom-designed Vans footwear. Net proceeds* from the sale of each pair of these very special Vans Customs will go directly to our small business partners in this time of need. With the purpose of continuing to enable creative expression, please join us as we lend a helping hand to our Vans Family.
Keep Going,
Steven Van Doren
What is Vans “Foot The Bill”?
Vans “Foot The Bill” initiative aims to assist the creative communities of our extended Vans Family around the world during this difficult time. Using our Vans Customs platform, we invite you to express your creativity and be a designer to your favorite Vans shoe, all while supporting the skate shops, music venues, art galleries, restaurants and local hangouts that enable your creative self-expression every day.
How many total partners will you be supporting?
We are committed to supporting at least 80 local and community driven small businesses including skate shops, music venues, art galleries and restaurants. Though, this amount does not include all of the amazing partners that we work with around the world, we are hopeful this program will help our communities get through this unprecedented time.
How did you select your partners?
We worked closely with our team to identify community driven small businesses like skate shops, music venues, art galleries and restaurants that have been directly impacted by COVID-19.
What portion of the proceeds will be donated to each partner?
All proceeds less the cost of production and shipment will be paid to the local and community driven skate shops, restaurants, art galleries and music venues.
How many pairs are being sold per partner?
Vans will be producing up to 500 pairs of Custom Vans per partner, based on demand.
How long will these designs be available to shop?
These one-of-a-kind designs will be available until the limit has been reached. Once they are sold out they will no longer be available. So be sure to get creative while supplies last!
