The design features a continuous line art of various cocktails, making it a unique and thematic piece of wearable art for the event.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f33bd5d3-d094-44d1-ae60-0e7e559e1d08) ## About Collector's Edition: Custom Kicks We use Angelus leather paints specifically because they stay flexible, meaning your design won't crack or peel when you’re actually walking around. Whether you want a full character portrait or clean line art like the custom Stan Smiths we did for the World Class competition, we heat-set every pair so they’re ready to wear the moment you get them. You aren't buying a mass-produced sneaker; you’re co-creating a piece of wearable art. The process starts with a conversation about what you actually want—not just a generic design pulled off the internet. Want an anime panel on your high-tops? A vintage look for your daily drivers? We map out the placement so it looks balanced, then use pro-grade leather preparations to ensure the surface is ready for the art. ### Why our customs last: * **Surface Prep:** We strip the factory finish so the paint bonds to the leather, rather than just sitting on top of it. * **Industry Standard Paints:** We use Angelus Direct paints. These are known for being water-resistant and flexible, handling heat, humidity, and city walking without fading. * **Finishing:** Every pair gets a final protective sealant and a heat-set treatment. This isn't just decoration; it's durable art. ### Common questions we get: * **Will the design crack?** Not if we do our job right. We use specific mediums for leather versus canvas to ensure the paint moves with the material. * **What can I get painted?** Everything. From logos and line art to complex anime portraits and splatter effects. * **How do I start?** Hit the WhatsApp button below. Tell us what shoes you have and what idea you're vibing with, and we’ll sort the rest. ## About Mel's Make I’m Mel, and I turned my graffiti hobby into a full-blown custom sneaker studio. I’m obsessed with details—if it’s not something I’d rock myself, I won’t paint it on your shoes. Let’s make your kicks the loudest thing in the room.
