Chase Shiel: Master Maker and Founding Creator
My journey began about 15 years ago when I started painting sneakers. I wanted to turn something many saw as just a "hobby" into a full-fledged career. To make that dream a reality, I trained in traditional shoemaking, learning how to craft men’s and women’s classic shoes. But despite mastering those skills, I didn’t feel the same passion I had for sneakers. So, with my newly acquired expertise, I returned to sneakers - but this time, I took things further by making them entirely from scratch. Over the past 7–8 years, I’ve had the privilege of working extensively with international brands, gaining invaluable experience, knowledge, and the creative edge needed to execute any design brief. I thrive under tight deadlines and enjoy the energy and focus that come with working under pressure. Creative Collaboration’ is my Ethos – working with other creatives worldwide to bring footwear concepts to life . Focusing on four key areas - aesthetics, execution, storytelling & unparalleled determination.
