Vans, Custom Made by Brawl Stars, Gift from Supercell for Super Creators / SML.20220130.6D.37815

This is a pair of Vans with Brawl Stars characters. They’re a gift from Supercell, the developer of the 3v3 mobile game.

 

I don’t make content for Brawl Stars, but I have played it since Alpha. As a “Super Creator” — I make a website for Clash Royale called RoyaleAPI — I receive perks and swags from the company often.

 

These are the only Vans I have ever owned. They are super comfy. I know that Vans exists as a brand, but I have never bought them myself.

 

I received this pair as a gift towards the end of 2021, and have been wearing them everyday throughout 2022. So comfortable!

 

I shot this phto in 2022 because I wanted to share them on Twitter, but I never posted them anywhere — tbh, I have felt somewhat embarassed about what I do for a long time. Most people give me blank stares — the kids would light up knowing who I am, but most people my age would not know who Supercell is and I would often feel ridiculous having to explain / justify why I do what I do. I learned to care less.

 

These were shot inside Orangemonkie Foldio3 — it‘s a brilliant lightbox that I bought because I wanted to photograph the merchandise I received from Supercell. Often, I have to make designs for the giveaway items, and I prefer to shoot my own photographs for them, because the standard product shots from Supercell don’t always meet my design needs.
