Painting Custom Vans with Neeks Custom Sneaks

A hands-on custom Vans workshop at Kasher Gallery & Studios by Niko of Neeks Custom Sneaks.
Join us for a creative, immersive afternoon of sneaker customization led by Niko of Neeks Custom Sneaks. In this exclusive small-group workshop, you’ll learn professional techniques for painting and finishing custom Vans slip-ons, transforming a blank canvas into wearable art.
