Hand-painted

This category showcases sneakers as a wearable canvas. Each pair is meticulously transformed by Artists using a variety of techniques, from detailed brushwork and airbrushing to custom dyes and sprays and decals. The focus here is on surface artistry, turning a standard sneaker into a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art without altering its fundamental structure.

Customised

Often called “customs,” this involves the artful swapping of sections of a sneaker by (Artisans) on our platform. These Artisans often ‘paint’ the sneaker too resulting in a hybrid design that changes the sneaker’s silhouette and texture.

Bespoke Hand-Made

This represents the pinnacle of sneaker craft, moving from customization to true shoemaking. A bespoke pair is rebuilt entirely new from the sole up by sneaker ‘Ateliers’. These skilled craftspeople use an authentic "donor" sole from a factory shoe and create a completely new upper, hand-crafting patterns, cutting premium materials, and stitching every panel. This results in a bespoke hand made product with an unparalleled level of quality and detail.
