About Wearable Art & Fashion Customization
Why I Do What I Do
Art is my full-time hustle, not just a hobby. I get a kick out of turning regular fashion into personal statements. Custom work isn’t always smooth sailing, but making something that’s truly yours - that’s what keeps me going.
Sneakers as My Canvas
I’m obsessed with sneakers, especially Nike Air Force 1. They’re just perfect for painting. I’ve worked on Jordans, Dunks, Converse, and more. Whether you want Tom & Jerry, Star Wars, some Van Gogh vibes, or Indian Chintz, I’m game. I’ve even done city skylines, custom world maps, and jersey numbers. Your kicks, your story.
How It Works
We work together - your ideas, my skills. You bring me a theme (anything, really), I send you a digital mock-up, and we tweak till you’re happy. Once you approve, I hand-paint everything in layers with Angelus Leather Paints. The finished piece is waterproof and chip-proof, so you can actually wear your art.
The Coffee Dye Thing
I’ve got this signature trick - dyeing white sneakers in coffee for a vintage vibe. It’s permanent, smells amazing, and makes an awesome base for designs like old-world maps or florals. I even did a collab with a cafe using their beans!
Beyond Sneakers
I also customize other stuff - luxury bags, leather totes, denim jackets, passport covers. I’ve painted for brands like TUMI, with designs inspired by Indian cities.
More Than Just Paint
This is about making fashion personal. Each piece is a bit of you - hand-painted sneakers (haath se banaya, boss!), accessories that actually mean something. It’s wearable art, not just decoration.

My Story
Hi, I'm Ridhii. Mumbai is home, and so is my art. People always ask if this is a 'real job' – ha, if only they knew! I started with one order in 2022. Now, I’ve worked with dream brands, judged student competitions, and still get those weird questions. AI art? Maybe it’s cool, maybe it’s not, but nothing beats pouring my own story (and yours) into custom kicks. That’s what makes it real.
My Work
Hand-painting & Customization - I paint sneakers, bags, and more. Each piece gets a personal touch, not just colors.
Coffee-Dyed Sneakers - Yup, I dye shoes with coffee beans. Retro stains, sometimes from your fave brand’s beans.
Live Customization at Events - I do live sneaker customization at pop-ups. You bring the stuff, I paint it on the spot.
Workshops & Judging - I host art workshops and judge college design contests. Always up for sharing and learning.
Unique Themes & Pet Portrait Shoes - Mixing travel, pets, flowers, even Google maps – I turn wild ideas into wearable art.
