Created in partnership with Rakuten, brought together thousands of custom sneaker artists from across the US and Europe. With Rakuten’s support, the competition became one of the largest creator-driven sneaker showcases ever produced, giving emerging artists a platform on a global stage. From thousands of entries, just 100 creators were shortlisted by a world-class judging panel featuring leaders across sport, design, music, and sneaker culture. These Top 100 designs formed the Art of the Game Official Collection - a rare, curated snapshot of sneaker culture at its most innovative. The journey concluded in San Francisco, where the finalists were flown out for a filmed finale with the Judges. This finale marked a milestone moment: a celebration of creators, culture, and the evolution of custom sneakers as a legitimate art form. Now, for the first time ever, you can own a piece of this history. Each Top 100 sneaker - whether the original pair or a made-to-order version in your size - represents a creator who rose above thousands to earn their place in this landmark Rakuten x Stephen Curry series. This isn’t just a sneaker. It’s a piece of the Art of the Game legacy - and a chapter in the future of sneaker culture.
Flow Like An Eagle
Product Details
Where The Eagles Flow.
I wanted to create a shoe for the High Flyers, the ones that dare to dream and have the courage to achieve it. For the ones who were told their heads were in the clouds, and that they should be more realistic. For the people striving to be or at the top of the mountain, the top of their respected game that embody the eagle\'s spirit of excellence. The Eagles vision and precision is unmatched and i believe its a perfect symbol to represent the judges who are all at the top of their game.
I kept it fairly straightforward with this concept and stuck to my strengths which is painting. I love the freedom that birds represent and love painting them so it made sense for me to centre the piece around a bird, and for the grand scale of this competition, an eagle was the perfect choice. I wanted the assets on the shoe to flow harmoniously with the shape and design of the shoe, and give the feeling that the shoe is literally in the clouds, up in the sky Where The Eagles Flow.
