Detroit Shoes


Shoe Design
Painting

This pair of shoes represents my experience in Detroit. Each shoe and emblem holds personal meaning to me. Every place, building, sign, reminds me of a fond memory. I wanted to tell the story of Detroit through my eyes. Through my lens. My process started with sketching and planning. What colors would I use? What Typeface would I mimick?  I used leather paint to create the images and fillout the background. These were the first pair of shoes I attempted to customize. It was a bit ambitious for a first try but I handled it with ease and created a pair that I am extremly proud of.
