About Custom Sneaker & Footwear Art
Why I Started
I just couldn’t stand boring jootey (shoes), yaar. I’m Sugandha, and I’ve always felt your shoes should vibe with your personality. Didn’t find that in stores, so I picked up a brush and started painting my own. No fancy art degree here - learned everything from YouTube and trial-and-error. My style? Total disruption of the usual!
How It Works
Every pair is a true collab. You share your story (from your favourite filmi moment to a sports tribute, or something totally random), and I turn it into hand-painted sneaker art. I get a fresh pair of kicks in your size (think Air Force 1, Sambas, Dunks), then get down to prepping, painting, and making your idea pop.
- Bring your own design ideas or let me freestyle
- I source brand new sneakers for you
- Every detail is painted by hand, no shortcuts
Art That Lasts
People ask if you can wear them in the baarish (rain) or on the daily. Pakka (for sure)! I use waterproof, scratch-proof paints and sealants so your custom shoe designs stick around as long as the shoes do.
Styles I Love
From bold Indian art sneaker designs (Truck Art, Madhubani, Kalamkari) to pop culture sneaker artwork (Harry Potter, anime, sports legends), I’ve painted it all. Even pet portrait shoes - yes, your dog’s face can be on your feet! Some pairs have even made it to cool brands and celebs. It’s mostly me, my brush, and a lot of hustle.

My Story
Hi, I'm the oddball behind ShoesYourDaddy. Grew up in a desi (Indian) family of sandals and stilettos, but I rocked sneakers—boring ones, though! So, I quit my job and started painting my own kicks. Everyone was like, “Job chhod ke jootey paint karna hai?” (You wanna quit your job to paint shoes?). Self-taught, thanks to YouTube and copying art. Now, from doodling to TEDx stage—who knew?
My Work
Hand-Painted Sneaker Art - I turn sneakers into wearable art using permanent, waterproof paints. Each pair is custom and unique.
Custom Art Commissions - I paint on bluetooth speakers, canvases, or whatever you want. Kalamkari sneaker design and pop culture themes are my jam.
The Real Process - No shortcuts—lots of prep, layers, and sealing. Messy, hectic, but worth it for that one-of-a-kind piece.
Each Pair Tells a Story - These aren’t just shoes—they’re art. Hard to let go, but they’re epic conversation starters.
Solo Artist Life - It’s just me. Painting, shooting, posting. Mostly in my studio, hair tied up, paint everywhere. Real life, not Instagram perfect!
