The Story
Hi, I’m Mikaela, the artist behind Sneaker Queens Customs—where art meets sole. I’m a self-taught sneaker artist from the Midwest who turns shoes into one-of-a-kind wearable art blending fine art, storytelling, and self-expression. I began painting my old sneakers at 19, and six years later, my work has reached brands, celebrities, and collectors worldwide. I paint to capture memories and emotion—every pair tells a story. My process starts with listening, designing, and letting creativity flow naturally. Inspired by nature, colour, and connection, my art reflects growth and healing. Sneaker Queens Customs isn’t just a brand—it’s my purpose, a way to help others express who they are and remind them that creativity can heal and stories deserve to be seen.
