Featured Custom Hand-Painted Sneaker Art
Here is a look at the wild designs that define my style. Whether it is anime characters, sports tributes, or personal doodles, I turn your blank canvas into wearable heat.
This custom Strike Freedom Gundam on a Nike Dunk High is one of the most detailed pieces I've ever done. It features a custom-built swoosh and battle-worn effects to make it look like it just walked off a battlefield. This is the level of detail I bring to every project.
Capturing the two sides of Zenitsu from Demon Slayer was a blast. On one shoe, he’s in his focused, lightning-fast state, and on the other, his classic terrified face. It’s all about telling a story with the art, not just painting a character.
A throwback to the classics with this Tom and Jerry custom on a Nike Air Force 1. I designed the Nike swoosh to look like a slice of cheese, bringing the whole cat-and-mouse chase to life right on the sneaker.
Bringing the entire Super Mario world to a pair of Nike Dunks was a huge but rewarding challenge. Each panel is inspired by a different character, from Mario and Luigi to their rivals Wario and Waluigi, creating a vibrant and playful piece of wearable art.
Sometimes, getting it right means starting over. This video shows me scraping paint off the Gundam dunks because the client wanted a more battle-worn look. I'm a perfectionist, and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure your custom sneakers are exactly what you envisioned.
It's not always about bright colors. This monochrome doodle style is perfect for telling your personal story in a clean, cartooned way. We can add symbols for your hobbies, passions, or life moments, like the Pink Floyd and gaming icons on this pair.
For the true Manchester City fans, this pair of custom Nike Dunks is a tribute to the club's legends. Featuring detailed portraits of OG players, this is how you wear your team pride with style.
These "Air Flora1" kicks bring a pop of summer to the classic Air Force 1. The bright, bold flowers and sunny yellow accents create a fun, vibrant design that’s guaranteed to turn heads.
I transformed this pair of Nike Air Force 1s with iconic Pink Floyd album art. Featuring The Division Bell and The Dark Side of the Moon, these kicks are a must-have for any classic rock fan.
About Featured
I do not just paint sneakers. I obsess over them. Take those Gundam Dunks you see—I spent hours applying paint, then took a power tool to scrape it all off just to get that specific battle-worn effect the client wanted. That is the level of commitment you get here. If it is not perfect to my eye, it is not going on your feet.
My work is about capturing what you love—be it anime, sports, or your own personal stories—and making it wearable. I work primarily with Angelus Direct leather paints and finish everything with professional sealers, so these are not just display pieces. They are meant to be worn, walked in, and lived in.
Whether you want a hyper-detailed anime portrait, the clean lines of a monochrome doodle design, or a full-blown sports tribute for your favorite team, I treat every shoe as a 1-of-1 project. I use everything from airbrushes for smooth gradients to 000-size brushes for fine manga outlines. My studio is based in Hyderabad, but I ship these custom kicks across India. If you are ready to turn your Air Force 1s or Jordans into something that actually reflects your personality, let us talk about your next pair.
