UNDERSTANDING CUSTOM SNEAKERS
The best sneaker artists in the industry today have elevated the art of sneaker customisation and set new standards. Whether you are a sneakerhead, an art lover, or simply curious about the creative minds behind your favourite kicks, CANVVS creators are the ones to watch.
GlossaryWhat is a custom sneaker?
A custom sneaker is a type of shoe that has been artistically redesigned by a creator. Custom sneakers can come in all different types, from different brands such as Nike and Converse to different styles of sneakers such as Air Force 1’s or Jordan 1’s. Whether it is hand-painting, illustration, airbrushing, or other creative techniques, custom sneakers transform a blank canvas into an original, one-of-a-kind creation. The base sneaker stays the same, but the final result becomes something entirely unique.
What is sneaker art?
Sneaker art is a creative process that uses sneakers as the canvas for artistic expression. It is wearable art that reflects each artist’s vision and style. This creative process can take various different forms, with every artist bringing their own unique approach. It can include airbrushing, hand-painted illustrations or patterns, custom dyes, embroidery and more to help transform each pair into a custom original.
Why buy custom sneakers?
Custom sneakers are a personal statement of style and individuality. When you wear a pair of custom sneakers, you’re wearing a piece of art. The designs are fuelled by individual creativity and talent of the artist, allowing you to wear something wholly original, expressive, and personal. You can browse through artists’ products or have your own, bespoke sneakers made depending on your own ideas. Your custom sneakers can include any design you’d like, from your favourite TV show or movie, a music artist or song to a sports-related design. For many, buying customer sneakers is also a way to support independent creators while owning something rare and meaningful.
Are custom sneakers authentic?
Yes, customer sneakers are completely authentic. All customs begin with genuine, brand-approved base sneakers before any artwork or customisation takes place. The creative work is added on top of the original, ensuring you get both authenticity and artistic originality.
