Congrats to Graham Fahey of Manchester Center, VT for winning our Mastodon Vans contest. His winning entry, why he deserved to win:

“cause i’m starting a shoegazing band.”

Simple but clever. In case you’re wondering, Graham chose the colored low-tops and wears a size 9 mens.

Enjoy, Graham!

You’ve seen ‘em around and you’ve looked at them longingly. Don’t pretend you’re too cool, ’cause you ain’t. They’re Mastodon Vans. You know you’ve wanted them.

We’ve got one pair to give away in any of the four configurations you see above and in your own size. Here’s how you win: tell us why you deserve to have these shoes moreso than any other MetalSucks reader. Be funny and smart, and leave your entry in the comments section below (be sure to fill in a valid email address you check frequently in the appropriate form). We’ll pick a winner next Monday at this time. Good luck!
