Product Details
For this sneaker design, I used an actual basketball net to create the pattern. It's rooted in my ongoing painting series, What’s HER Net Worth?, where I use sports nets as stencils to explore themes of gender equity, visibility, and self-worth.
What’s HER Net Worth? shines a light on gender inequality, honoring both the progress that has been made and the work that remains to ensure equal pay and opportunity for our daughters, sisters, and mothers. It's also a reminder that value isn’t assigned—it’s claimed. Honoring self-worth, collective strength, and the belief that your network is part of your net worth.
This is a culturally relevant conversation, especially within sports. It feels meaningful to use my artwork to amplify women in athletics and to challenge inequity in spaces where women’s contributions have historically been undervalued.
While my canvas work typically uses spray paint, these shoes required a different approach. I used an airbrush to stencil the basketball net onto the shoe, adapting my process to the medium. Because this design centers on equal pay, I hand-painted the word EQUAL on the right shoe using the Under Armour UA logo itself to spell the word. It became a kind of visual puzzle, almost like a trippy version of Wordle. After researching whether Under Armour had done this before and finding that they hadn’t, I felt a genuine spark of excitement—which arists' will feel when they unlock something new.
I also intentionally emphasized the letters EQ in EQUAL, which stands for emotional quotient or emotional intelligence. People with high EQ tend to lead with empathy and self-awareness—qualities essential to those who advocate for equality, for everyone.
One of my favorite hidden details lives inside the left tongue of the shoe. I cut a basketball net into two small pieces, painted them, and formed an equal sign. It’s a quiet detail-but an important one intended only for the wearer of the shoe to see.
Because I view this as a high-level art piece, the color palette reflects that intention. The base is a rich sandy camel tone that immediately felt right to me on the rich texture of the suede. The orange serves as a nod to the WNBA while also functioning as a luxury accent color. The chocolate brown laces with orange flecks were carefully chosen to complement that balance of sport and sophistication.
These shoes are truly one-of-one not just aesthetically, but in their message. I gave this project everything I had, mentally and physically, and had a great deal of joy throughout the process. I’m deeply honored to be part of this competition and to have this work displayed.
