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.
“SLEEP WALKERzzz”
Product Details
From that very moment when Steph did his world famous “Night Night “ celebration I knew what had to be created then I came up with the “SLEEP WALKERzzz” concept. And just like a dream you can swop out part for others just like how u be dreaming about one thing then next thing you know u in a whole new dream. Even with the kaleidoscope colors and patterns represents the dream state which most believe it or not really do sleep walk. Everything about this shoe is Steph from his name being on it to the blue print of him being the blue print to being the greatest shooter to ever shoot to even his favorite Bible verse Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through him who gives me strength”
I honestly do believe that’s why he’s so great because of his faith even to the different color leopard pattern represents he’s a rare breed and a true beast at what he does. I feel when u dream u really express ya thoughts and passions Steph had dreams of being the best and now he is same way had dreams to create this shoe to win I even through his night night celebration on the toe box for his opponents to look down at the after he makes the shot they gotta look up at him doing the same celebration lol im very intentional with this design especially with the popcorn idea I heard he loves popcorn so I had to figure a way to make it pop plus just like myself I stay with my Bible and I kno he travels with his as well so I made a Bible patch the can swop out to any patches on the shoe.
