Journey Middle School – Custom Sneakers: Professionally created by Zeevy Customs, these sneakers were designed to represent Journey Middle School and its limitless potential.  The base shoes are an original design from Six Hundred Four in Vancouver, British Columbia.  Six Hundred Four shoes are very limited edition and are made in Vietnam with the highest quality leather.

Zac Vine is a teacher at Journey Middle School and is the artist and director of Zeevy Customs. Over the last 6 years, Zeevy Customs has designed custom sneakers for athletes and entertainers from across the globe. Some of his celebrity clientele include Aroldis Chapman, Demar DeRozan, Def Leppard, Drake, Logic, and Corey Taylor. He wanted to support his school and his community, and thus created these unique custom sneakers to be auctioned off with all proceeds going to towards Journey Middle School’s trip to Europe in the Spring. Auction start date is Oct 15^th 2018 on the Journey Middle School Parents Facebook page.

To inquire about these pieces of art, or to place a bid, please contact Sandy Hull (shull@sd62.bc.ca) at Journey Middle School.
