Donny Miller Creates a Deceptive Slip-On Shoe Design For Vans

— April 4, 2010 — Fashion
Street artist Donny Miller from Los Angeles has created a new and innovative design for Vault by Vans--the Donny Miller 'Slip-Up.' Although they may look like the average means to secure your kicks, these shoelaces are just a clever two-dimensional illusion.

These Donny Miller Slip-Up shoes really only need to be slipped on. Never trip over your own shoelaces again. I'm sure lazy lace-haters everywhere will be clamoring to get their paws on these sweet kicks.
