Hand-Painted Sneaker Art & Custom Brand Collaborations
I turn ordinary sneakers into one-of-a-kind wearable art. From corporate drops to live event activations, here is how I disrupt the ordinary.
This is where art meets the open road. For this collaboration with Husqvarna Motorcycles, I translated the bike's bold, disruptive design into a one-of-a-kind wearable art piece. It's more than a shoe; it's a statement.
My collaboration with The Souled Store for this limited edition Star Wars drop was a massive success, selling out in just 60 seconds. This project shows how I can create hype-worthy, collectible merchandise that drives incredible results for brands.
Inspired by the new Carlsberg elephant, I transformed these sneakers using bold lines and a striking gold and black palette. This project highlights my ability to interpret a brand's iconic imagery into a fresh, modern, and desirable product.

I had a fantastic time conducting a hands-on sneaker painting workshop for the team at Meta India. This is a unique and engaging team-building activity that lets your employees unleash their creativity and walk away with their own custom kicks.
This design for Liberty Shoes' 'Mera Joota Hindustani' campaign blends two iconic Indian art forms, Madhubani and Kalamkari. It represents my passion for celebrating our rich cultural heritage through contemporary wearable art.
About this collection
I get this question all the time: 'Is the paint permanent?' The answer is yes. I use a meticulous process of prepping, multi-layering with pro-grade Angelus paints, and sealing with scratch-proof finishes. These aren't just display pieces; they are made to be worn, lived in, and yeah, even cleaned.
My journey started with painting my own boring shoes because I wanted something different. Today, that means working on everything from limited-edition hype drops with The Souled Store that sell out in seconds, to live customization stations for Adidas and team-building workshops for Meta.
My process is simple but messy. Whether I am handling a bulk order for corporate gifting or a one-off commission for a Husqvarna-inspired sneaker, I don't use shortcuts. It is all about surface prep, thin layers, and the right sealers. If your brand wants merch that people actually wear instead of hiding in a closet, let's talk. I travel across India for events and collaborations, ready to turn your canvas into a conversation starter.
