Live Sneaker Customization and Art for Brand Events
Bring your brand launch or party to life with on-the-spot, interactive art. I set up a live customization station to turn guests' sneakers, tees, or caps into unique pieces right before their eyes.
It was an honor to be part of the New Balance store launch in Pune. I was invited to do live sneaker painting for their first customers. This video captures the energy of the launch event and a peek at me customizing a pair of their classic 550s.
This was my setup for the Adidas sneaker customization workshop at their store. I bring all the tools and paints needed to transform a product right in front of the customer, making it a memorable brand experience.
A big part of live art is the conversation. Here I am at the New Balance event, brainstorming ideas with a customer for his custom sneaker design. We work together to make sure the final piece is exactly what he envisions.

Here you can see the fine detail work involved in hand-painting sneakers. I use specialized paints and fine-tipped brushes to add vibrant colors and crisp lines directly onto the shoe, creating a durable piece of wearable art.
A great example of a finished custom sneaker from the Adidas event. This pair features a hand-painted Olaf, showing how I can bring any character or theme to life to create a truly personalized product for customers.
This is the official event poster from my collaboration with Adidas for a sneaker customization workshop at Jio World Drive in Mumbai. I can work with brands to create exciting events around themes like Mandala art or even glow-in-the-dark designs.
The atmosphere at these live events is always buzzing. It’s not just about the art, it’s about creating a fun and engaging space where people can connect with the brand and the creative process.
About Live Customization for Brands
When I set up a live art station, I’m not just painting; I’m starting conversations. Whether it is a sneaker launch or a corporate party, I customize 10-15 pieces an hour—from initials and quick doodles to complex anime art—right in front of your guests. It is a clean, mess-free setup that works as well in a quiet store corner as it does in a busy event space, provided you have a table, a chair, and a power point for my heat gun.
More Than Just a Giveaway
Forget generic freebies that get thrown away. When I work with brands like Adidas or New Balance, the goal is to give guests a connection to the product. Whether I am customizing classic 550s in a busy store or painting live at an event in BKC, my process is all about making the art feel personal to the person standing in front of me.
How the Live Setup Works
I come prepared with everything—paints, brushes, markers, sealers, and the tools to make it happen safely indoors or outdoors.
- Throughput: I can handle 10-15 products an hour with 'flash art' techniques like initials, floral motifs, or custom doodles.
- Styles: From Pop Art and Anime to clean minimalist designs, I adapt to your event's theme.
- Logistics: I need minimal infrastructure—just a table, a chair, and access to a power point for my heat gun to dry the paint quickly.
Why Book a Live Artist?
Adding a live art element changes the energy of an event. It turns a standard purchase or brand activation into a memory. Clients have brought me in for everything from store openings in Pune to product launches in Mumbai, and the vibe is always the same: people love watching the process and walking away with something that is truly theirs. If you have an upcoming event and want to add some color, let’s chat about the theme and how we can make it happen.
