Important Expectations

 

  • These are hand-painted works of art, not printed or factory-perfect designs. Natural variation is part of the character.

  • All custom sneaker sales are final and non refundable.

  • Sneakers are painted for wear but are best treated as art — not for heavy daily use. 

  • Designs may evolve slightly during the painting process to ensure the strongest artistic result.

  • Typical turnaround time is 3–5 weeks from design approval & receiving the shoes (longer during peak seasons).

  • Speciality Sales or Pricing are subject to limited availability. Baseball special: Over all background design is not subject to change, except personalized aspects like Child's Name, Number, Team Name, Team Logo, & Sky background behind stadium (chose- City Scape, Mountains, Palm Trees, etc). 

 

Shoe Guidelines

 

  • Best results on canvas or smooth leather sneakers (Converse, Vans, Air Force 1s, etc.)

  • Clients must provide their own sneakers, please ensure you ordered the correct size and style.

  • Used sneakers are not accepted.
