Painting on canvas is so last century. These designers and artists are using popular brands of sneaker like Nike, Converse and Vans!

Each week there is a new drop from sneaker brands like Nike, Converse, Vans and more. These designers are tired of waiting for the right sneaker to be designed by someone working a corporate job. So they have taken matters into their own hands by designing (and selling) the sneakers they really want to wear! From hand painting to air brush to embroidery and rhinestones, there are so many different ways to customize women’s sneakers.

When shopping for customized sneakers it is important to be careful. All of these shoes were remixed by independent designers on Etsy. Like any eCommerce marketplace it is important to check out the reviews and description before you buy. We would not have included these products if we thought they were shady. However we have not seen them in real life before and cannot guarantee they will look exactly like the picture, because they are individually customized.
