Coffee Break: Shoes

First Avenue Vans

April 23, 2020

If you're looking for a way to support First Avenue while it's closed due to the public health crisis, and you also need a new pair of sneakers for all the social distance walks you might be going on, First Avenue is partnering with Vans on a new custom design.

The collaboration is part of Vans' Foot the Bill campaign, and all of the net proceeds from the sale of each custom shoe will go directly to the businesses Vans partners with on each design. And a note that you can customize them -- Jill's pair has a purple flare while Anna's pair is classic black and white.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention shoes?
