My Vans “Classic Tales” Story

Friday, Oct 14, 2011 11:13PM / Standard Entry / Personal Life

Well, I just submitted my own Vans “Classic Tales” entry! For those of you who collect VANS shoes, or even own a pair, share your story with them at: www.vans.com/classictales/tell-us

Here’s what I wrote.

–

I’ve been through a lot in these shoes.

Being a late collector and fan of the brand, I grabbed my first pair of Vans (boat shoes) in the Winter of 2008 when I vacationed in Okinawa, Japan. At that time, this design was exclusively distributed in Japan only.

Now, I’m usually the kind of shoe buyer who’s very picky with shoes, where I’d mull over for days before finalizing my decision. However, the understated simplicity and effortless cool in these won me over in a heartbeat.

Plus, they were so lightweight that packing it back home to Bangkok would be a breeze.

Since then, I’ve been on streams of dates, attended events, partied up in nightclubs (where I’d bust my dance routines – yes, in these Vans) – and once as I can vividly recall, puked all over these shoes due to over intoxication.

I’ve spent hours in cafes writing my books, shopped for clothes/groceries, hopped on Soi patrolling motorcycles, walked blocks in the pouring rain, conducted business deals, and even had my first dental implants rocking these Vans!

The mileage I’ve clocked in these Vans is immeasurable, as I’ve journeyed through the land of smiles (Thailand), China (Shanghai), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) Taiwan (Taipei). Yes, my shoes have absorbed not just various weather conditions, the impatience of time, but also vastly different cultures in Asia.

When I was totally burnt out from building my business during 09′, I shifted back to first gear from “grind mode”, where I’d frequently getaway from work and take on lengthy aimless strolls on the city streets. This was to clear my mind, regather my strength, and gain new perspectives.

Occasionally, I would even alone to the nearest beach (Pattaya), where I’d collect sands the pads pads as I strolled the calming shores.

These Vans were my best travel companion.

During these long therapeutic walks, I contemplated a lot on what “life was really about”, and “where I really wanted to go”.

I came to the stark realization that Life isn’t something you rush through, or work days on end to create; it’s a blessing and gift for you to “live”, embrace, and nurture. It’s not a race. Compete with no one, but only yourself – and move at your own pace, but with an unbending determination and passion. There were many more periods of enlightenment, but I’ll spare the details for now.

It’s been almost 4-years since I’ve had these, and til this very today, they’re still in my rotation of “shoes for the day” – as you can so easily dip your feet into these.

My shoes have aged gracefully and matured with me. They’re a little beat, but still in soldier-strong condition. I’ve sent these to the shoes doctor once after a minor tear on the sides but the repair made it look good as new.These shoes hold too many memories to carelessly abandon or leave in the dark.

There has been too many glorious moments, surreal times, wake up calls, and life turning lessons in my first pair of Vans.

And the journey continues.

Whats good everyone! For starters, if you have no clue of who I am, let me quickly introduce myself :)

This is Allurre =) or.. call me Andrew. I'm currently CEO/Artist/Producer/Designer of my Entertainment/fashion company: LUXLIVIN ENT.

I self-compose/produce/dance/design and manage most the business operations. Online marketing happens to be my specialty.

If you haven't noticed.. i'm all bout entrepreneurship. Thank you for your time! and please read on further if you'd like to know more.

With all honesty, I'd describe myself as an initiative, self-directed, independent, entrepreneurial, and reasonably extroverted cat. I move at my own pace, and possess an unwavering commitment to establishing my own lane, brand, and entity. As of now, my primary focuses are to further my career – I’m curious to see what shape and forms it’ll take on; to ceaselessly pursue for education -- you can never learn enough, I live to learn; and last but not least, rainmaking.

When making music, I crave for professionalism, sheer passion, flair and flavor. To an extent, having your own signature sound and your own swag is essential to success; but versatility is gold and the key to longevity. There’s also no need to ride off anyone’s coattail, if ever. A principle I follow is to endlessly strive for perfection when cutting records – from penning the song to the mix down phases – everything has to be on point. Attention should be paid to every detail.

Never the complacent one, and never idle, I will continue and will be open to work on new projects where I can contribute; whether a club-ready, street-anthem or tear-jerking ballad, I believe I am well rounded and capable to cater to all urban soundscapes.

Besides from courting a musical career, I also have an unflinching determination to play my position as an executive marketing somewhere, and hopefully, sometime soon in the entertainment (preferably music) industry. As the field of distribution and promotion continues to dramatically alter, I believe marketers must look beyond traditional media and capitalize off Internet as an advertising medium, which entails Podcasting, Push technologies, Banner Ads, and an abundance of rich medias available. The Internet is soon to be an indispensable marketing tool. Hm, ok, that's as far as I'll preach on for e-marketing.

My strengths and dedication encompasses songwriting, rapping, and dancing. I'm not afraid to venture into foreign or unfamiliar territories such as choreographing and music video directing – there’s always room for self-improvement and growth.

I tend to gravitate towards innovative choreography, quality productions, and just good music in general. I appreciate and like to relish the finer things in life – who doesn't? To this day, I've collected a wealth of experiences in and out the booth and industry, over ground and underground. Having the opportunity to be part of a culturally diversified community is something to be grateful of.

In an individual, I look for character, humor, and dignity. I love criticisms, they only make me better – that is if the judgment is sound. Things in life I despise are hypocritical and changing faces; those who are ignorant and unknowingly arrogant. For those caught on guilty charges, literally speaking, I can forgive and be merciful. I believe in second chances but I'll never forget the wrongdoings.

In the near future, I'd like to step up and establish my own record label, clothing line, alcohol brand, and open up several snazzy nightclubs. As you might have noticed, I am over ambitious and I do set high expectations for myself. I believe in no competition and only in outdoing me. It’s a grind to five. I'm always putting work in – I’d certainly pass for a workaholic – Seeing me rested and relaxed is as rare as finding another R&B artist turned rapper like Tyrese. I am my own therapy session, my own moral support and inspiration. Bringing out the best of me is a must. For every second that I breathe, I will continue to push myself to new heights.

I am interested in meeting new, aspiring, multitalented, musically intuitive artists and individuals I can discuss views upon the many facets of life and learn practical wisdoms from.

Some last words. Never impose limits on your imagination, and never, allow your dreams to fizzle; if you can't chase you dreams, make the dreams chase you. Stay strong. Peace. – Allurre
