After brief introductions, a few jokes, and talk about the meaning behind Eighth Generation, students from Kent-Meridian High School were guided through the process of designing and created their own custom Vans and Chucks. It was great for me to spend time with a group of bright and creative high school students, who came up with some very original shoe ideas. Big thank yous are due to Sam Moriseau and Jessica Dominy-Cook for helping to get the ball rolling for this unique event.
