It all started with a single pair of blank Air Force 1s and the urge to make something no one else had.
I’ve always believed that shoes can tell a story — not just a trend, but a true expression of who you are. Growing up, I was inspired by art, anime, streetwear, and the deep connection people have with what they wear. But I noticed one thing: so many sneakers looked the same. I wanted to change that.
That’s why I started customizing and hand-painting sneakers, one pair at a time.
Each shoe I create is a canvas — whether it’s a tribute to a legend like Kobe Bryant, an anime clash between Goku and Vegeta, or a peaceful wave-and-sakura design inspired by Japanese art. Every detail, stroke, and swoosh is crafted with purpose.
This isn’t mass production. It’s personal. Original. One-of-a-kind.
Today, my goal is to help people stand out, make a statement, or honor something they love — all through wearable art. Whether you're a collector, a sneakerhead, or just someone looking for that perfect pair that tells your story, I’ve got you covered.
Welcome to the movement. Your sneakers should speak for you — and I’m here to help them shout.
