Groom's Shoes

My super creative friends, Lily and Jordan, got married a couple years ago and Jordan made the dopest groomsmen gifts of all time: customized kicks. He bought a bunch of vans, then hand-painted them with inside jokes and random stuff for his friends. I think it turned out pretty awesome.

That's immediately what I thought of when I saw these bad boys:

Stylist, Robert Verdii asked Vans to make some custom ones for him out of some vintage Hermes scarves. The result? The dopest Vans I've ever seen.

How to ask your friends to be your bridesmaid/groomsmen

Alicia Kulikowski, an awesome graphic designer from designed the graphics and printed them on recycled beer bottle labels. Clearly, shes got mad designing skills.

Hot, Unstuffy Groomsmen Styling

Damn, I love a good n' messy/casual/dressy style. If your man has stylish friends that are incredibly good looking, maybe ya'll could pull some styling like this off. I'm digging the second one to the right. Imagine him buttoned up, with a little corsage. So hot.

On the other hand, they kinda look like an older Jonas Brothers boy band so PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
