Carl Floyd Medley III takes advantage of the smooth canvas surface on the Vans Era for his custom designed 5 Second Rule sneakers.
It's no secret that Medley had chilled sweets on the mind when he designed these shoes. Made to look like a dessert, the back of the shoe is artfully painted like a waffle cone while the front is a mix of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice cream with a bit of fudge. It doesn't stop there, as sprinkles are spread around the laces and a mouth-watering cherry is nestled right at the center, sinking into the rich chocolate.
If you weren't craving ice cream before, after starring at the 5 Second Rule Vans you won't be satisfied until you duck into the nearest dessert parlor.
