I paint anime characters, pop-culture icons, or custom patterns directly onto your footwear using flexible, long-lasting leather paints. Let’s turn your shoes into wearable art. ## Photos and videos - ![A side-by-side view of the custom Pokémon-themed Nikes.

Before the brush touches the leather, I professionally deglaze the surface to strip the factory finish, which helps the paint bond permanently so it won't crack when you walk. After painting, I apply a multi-coat sealant that makes your design water-resistant and scratch-proof for daily wear. Since I work on shoes you provide, we start by discussing your vision to ensure the design fits your specific pair perfectly. Whether you want a nostalgic nod to your favorite childhood cartoon, a sleek minimalist design, or matching pairs for your squad, I bring your ideas to life on your footwear. My process starts with a thorough conversation about your vision and the type of shoes you are sending. ### How the Customization Works * **Surface Preparation:** I use professional deglazers to clean the factory coating. This is the most critical step for ensuring the paint adheres properly to the leather. * **The Medium:** I use flexible leather paints like Angelus, which are designed to bend with the shoe material, preventing the stiffening or flaking you might see with acrylics used on canvas. * **Protection:** Every pair is finished with multiple layers of high-grade matte or gloss sealant, making your art water-resistant and protected against daily scuffs. ### Popular Customization Requests * **Pop Culture Icons:** Anime characters, superheroes, or movie references are my most requested designs. * **Personalized Colorways:** Changing factory colors to match a specific outfit or color theme. * **Subtle Details:** I also do minimalist work like adding specific initials, date stamps, or geometric patterns if you prefer a cleaner look. ### Care Instructions Your custom kicks are made for walking, not just for display. They are durable, but you should avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or aggressive scrubbing brushes. If they get dirty, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is all you need. I ship my art across India, so no matter where you are located, you can send your shoes over to get the transformation. ## About Shweta Rane I’m Shweta. I believe shoes are meant to be a conversation starter. I’m an arttrovert, which means I prefer my brushes to do the talking. When I’m not sketching, you’ll find me obsessing over lines and color blends on sneakers.
