Well what can I say. I started customizing sneakers half a year ago. I entered the Scandinavian Adicolor/Vice contest for fun (designing an Adidas Adicolor shoe on paper and maybe qualifying to the final top ten). So I qualified, went to the finals in Sweden, did what I came to do and I actually won. Then it was on.
A bit later I also qualified for the International Adicolor contest but unfortunately I didnt win. I got the 4th place, but it was fun joining. So now I make sneakers on a weekly basis. I sell them online, in sneakershops, in magazines and in excibitions. Im (ofcourse) also a graffitiwriter, a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator and a dj.
The name Johnny Jaywalker comes is really my dj name. JJ just turned in to my artist name in a way. (we are a dj-trio from Norway called the Jaywalkers. (which is Johnny Jaywalker from the Johnny Walker whisky + Jacob the Jaywalker from Jacob The Jewler & Luke Jaywalker from Luke skywalker)) check out www.thejaywalkers.blogspot.com.

I have been an artist since I could walk. Working with everything from clay, to drawing, to musical instruments and film, I’ve always been into the creative process and “making things”.
I got into shoes years ago and soon began applying my art to my love of kicks. I have some projects coming up that I am excited about. In the future, I hope to transform my artwork into a tool for social change by expressing my views through various forms, paticularly shoes and clothing.
ROCK’ N’ - brand, created to personalize Sneakers that closely resemble who will wear it! The project is born from the idea of LEO and the creativity of THE FRANZ, thanks to the collaboration of FRANZ in the project, it is given back possible the accomplishment of the Personalization of Sneakers.
Our project initiates with the desire to convert a regular shoe to a collection item, making it important with our wise dowers and innovations, handmade with materials and inks that make Sneakers a unique product.

Sekure is now a well known designer in Australia. Growing up surrounded by a culture that didn’t encourage his art Sekure covertly practiced his works for years before being contracted to co-ordinate the interior design and painting of various basketball and hip-hop shops within Melbourne.
His work began with street art, web-graphics and custom signatures which enabled him to develop an attention to detail and patience which is required in the field of clothing customization. Being a dedicated collector of rare footwear Sekure has formed an appreciation of the importance of style, uniqueness and quality of finish that is required for a shoe to outlast current fashion and to surpass common trends or fads. This is why each design created is totally unique and thus you will own a one of a kind Sekure-D couture item. Untamed by theme or style Sekure blends graphics, symbols and text within an underlying current of street art to craft a design based on the ideas conveyed by you or inspiration sought elsewhere.
Hicalorie.com is the online portfolio and shop of the HiCalorieDesign crew. Besides custom sneakers they design toys and illustrations. Superfresh stuff from England.
Some words from the HiCalorieDesign crew:
All of these shoes are designed in extremely limited runs and most are exclusive to the Hicalorie store. Some of them as exclusive as 1off originals, that means the face lickingly good pair you bought from us, that’s right, is the only pair in the world! Doesn’t that just make you feel like you’re the ambrosia pudding of life itself.
These shoes are all fresh out of the box, into the studio, onto a workbench, back into the box and ready to wrap themselves round your unworthy feet. They’re so shiny and new the soles havent even been licked yet.
Hicalorie sneakers are the new black.
Ever had a pair of kicks with fish in the tongue? REAL FISH! If you want to see what one can make out of a pair of sneakers check Blue Reverie. Some pretty crazy customs over there.
Some words from Blue:
Pimp My Shoes is a website run by the artist “Blue” who
specializes in creating unique pairs of customized sneakers. Much of his
work has been displayed throughout numerous sneaker forums and sites as well as events that include “Soled Out Hollywood”, Marc Ecko’s “Getting Up Tour” in Toronto, and Fat Joe’s “International Sneaker Battle” in Edison, NJ. Also keep an eye out for future events and exhibitions along with pairs for sale in several sneaker boutiques.
Unlike other sites, most designs are kept as one-of-a-kinds in order to ensure that the customer is receiving a completely original pair. Each pair is created with the highest of standards and special attention to detail.
You can either purchase an available pair from the online store, or work with the actual artist to develop a pair that you’ve envisioned. With custom sneakers, the possibilites are endless, and you are in no way limited to the selection offered at any sneaker store.

Some words from C. Badiola:
My website serves as an electronic portal to view my portfolio of current artwork. I try to bring a different and unique look to sneakers with quality and wearability as high priority. There are no boundaries to what I can do with the skills and tools in my possession. I work with paintbrushes, airbrushes, and leather burning. I also have the abillity to reconstruct shoes and have machined stitch together. You will be able to find my contact information as well as available designs that are available for purchase.
Lowveens Jacques customizes sneaker and all sorts of other gear. You can find some interesting paint jobs on his site.
Some words from Lowveens:
I’m a young artist and graduate of Syracuse university but that means nothing cause I learned nothing there. I’m a self taught artist I’m friendly like you would not believe I’m not in the sneaker customizing game to keep my secrets to myself like other top customizers, I constantly get emails from other artist asking me for advice and I’m always willing to help out in the best way I know how. I love to share with others even if you don’t know me. All I ask others is just not to bite my style. There is nothing worse then a biter. Anyway enough of my likes and dislike. I’m not only a sneaker customizer I also customize hats, shirts, jackets, etc. but my greatest talent is the ability to capture peoples likeness. I really don’t know when I started this web site but I have been doing the art thing since the age of 2 believe it or not. If you have any question holla at me.
