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.
We Are More Alike Than Different
Product Details
What is this pair of shoes even about? What message am I trying to get across with this design? In just six words- we are more alike than different. In a world where we are hyper focused on our differences, I wanted to make a design highlighting our similarities. In one word- community. It\\\'s everything. It is the answers to our biggest problems. Possibly all our problems. And that is ultimately what B Street Shoes is all about. Community. I picked the name B Street with the thought that, if you have worked with me on some custom kicks, you\\\'re creating rare air. Whether you know it or not, you\\\'re in a community. Now with this Rakuten, Canvvas and Steph coming together, for this project, it\\\'s our chance to extend and grow our community. What problem can community solve? Helping more people see we are more alike than different. Once this makes progress, every thing else falls into place. Or as many people like to say \\\"Strength in numbers.\\\"
