Whether you’re launching a limited-edition collection, running an artist collaboration, or using sneakers as a storytelling medium, the BL_NK CANVVS adapts to your vision. With total control over design, distribution, and marketing, the possibilities are endless.
DESIGNED FOR SPECIALIST LEATHER PAINT ADHESION
For custom sneaker artists, paint adhesion is crucial. The BL_NK has been designed with this in mind, featuring premium leather uppers that are specially treated to ensure optimal adhesion for specialist leather paints. This means colours remain vibrant, detailed designs stay sharp, and custom artwork lasts longer without peeling or cracking - offering a flawless finish for any project.
ADDITIONAL PERSONALISATION ELEMENTS
Beyond base customisation, BL_NKs allows for personal touches that make each sneaker unique. Whether it’s adding embroidery, bespoke stitching, laser-etched details, or other handcrafted elements, every pair can be transformed into a one-of-a-kind statement piece. This ensures that no two designs are ever the same, giving both artists and customers something truly special.
