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, these artists are worth watching.
What is a custom sneaker?
A custom sneaker is a sneaker that has been modified or redesigned in some way by an artist or designer to create a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
What is sneaker art?
Sneaker art refers to the customisation and design of sneakers to create unique, personalised, and one-of-a-kind designs. The sneaker customisation trend started in the 1980s, with basketball players adding their personal touch to their footwear to stand out on the court. The trend then expanded, and artists began creating custom designs for people looking to stand out.
Why buy custom sneakers?
Sneaker customisation is an emerging form of artists’ expression. With collectors looking for unique pieces from otherwise mass-produced shoes. Custom sneakers will not only express your love for art, but they will also express your love for footwear and street culture.
