Twenty years, four pairs of hands, and one rule: every pair is made to order and painted by a human. Drake wears them. So does Michael Strahan. So can you.
That’s us, on Roosevelt Road. Four people, one storefront, and every pair on the shelves painted in the back room. Walk in and watch it happen — or bring a beat-up pair and leave them with us.
6803 Roosevelt Rd, Berwyn IL · Tue–Sat from 11:30am
Straight from the workbench to the feed. Every one of these started as a blank pair and a conversation.
Twenty years of names. Six of our favorites — the rest are on the wall itself.
Peter Mullin starts painting over old sneakers in Oak Park because the ones he wanted didn’t exist. No plan, no business. Just a habit that wouldn’t quit.
Sharpie features the work on their blog and calls it what it had quietly become — a company, not a hobby. The orders stop being from friends.
Zedd. Alesso. Axwell & Ingrosso. Swedish House Mafia. Custom pairs start showing up on festival stages, then at Lollapalooza, then on Drake.
Every pair of shoes worn at the Ball Is Life Eastbay All-American game — customized by us. Heineken and Tiger Beer follow with brand activations.
A storefront on Roosevelt Road, a team of four, and every single pair still made to order. We’ve never once outsourced a shoe. That’s the whole business.
