Everyone loves a good custom sneaker, it's a beautiful craft that can bring an otherwise plain shoe to life (don't get us wrong – we love them when they're non-customised, too!). The most common sneakers to work on are the more minimal silhouettes; working with a plainer canvas leaves more room for creativity and allows the artist to use the base to it's maximum potential.
Recently, there's been a boom of custom sneakers. Designers creating "collaborations"; as they paint one brand's details onto a different brand's sneaker. The most well known are probably Nike and adidas silhouettes being made into Gucci-esque sneakers… We're talking lots of red and green details, snakes and hand written "it ain't Gucci tho";.
We had a little look through Instagram and picked out a couple of artists to share with you all. We love the playfulness, references, colour and creativity behind each idea.
Check out the designs below along with their Instagram profiles, you will not be disappointed. Do let us know your thoughts in the comments and also, let us who your favourite custom sneaker designer is! Keep it locked to The Sole Supplier website and social for daily news and sneaker releases.
