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.

Lately we realized a shoe on commission, for the presentation in Italy of the line of apparel of Spike Lee signed “40 Acres and Amule” together to “Marc Ecko”.

We hold to state ourselves than we realize alone sneakers decorated to hand. We realize our products to Milan in Italy and send our customers all over the world. If you other desires information, pray to contact you myself. hello to soon you write if desires of the images

Comment from us:
Damn nice blog and even though it’s kinda young it is already one of the best places to get your daily dosage of sneaker news.

Skets-Story was founded last year; by a couple of friends, to show to the French sneaker community how a French forum can provide real good news and infos about a lot of brands like Nike, Adidas and other!

In spite of some French hype forums, our main passion is the Nike Air Max Plus.You cannot find best infos and news about those sneakers elsewhere. Our main goal is to provide a lot of pics and stories about Air Max’s models, Air Max Plus’s and others.

We’ve got the best Air Max Plus’s collectors, best infos about this model which is very popular in France and we wait for you to improve this!

The site is run by two people in the New York area. Its a blog for all fashion related info including but not limited to sneakers, clothing, electronics, hiphop, etc.

It has been running for 2 months and is updated 5 times daily with great info and interesting stuff. The main motivation for it is to keep the scene going and to give all the people that always ask us about kicks and music informed. It is not only a blog but it is also a clothing brand. It doesnt only provide info on fashion but it supplies it as well.

Sole Provider located in Sydney offers a range of sneakers from Nike, Adidas, and New Balance, including Air Max, Jordans, Dunks, SBs & plenty more.

Some words from the Sole Provider Crew:
My partner and I have been running Sole-Provider for about 3 years now. We started our business as we saw a real hole in the market in Australia as far as online sneaker stores go. Shipping to Australia is expensive, and local stores aren’t offered the range from the brands that larger countries get, so what we’ve tried to do is source sneakers heads in Australia are after from overseas and make them available locally. We’re still really the only site of our kind in Australia.

Isabella has sent us her review of Sole Provider:
Sole Provider stocks the best range of nike as their comprehensive range has styles from retro to contemporary. Sole Provider are fast delivers, good communicators and friendly people. Sole Provider: “Hows the weather up their Isabella?” Isabella: Very fair just like your prices

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.

5 friends got together to write about their interests on this blog. Urban culture stuff. Kicks, clothes, urban toys, music, etc.

Some words from Jupiter:
It is up since April 2006 and just a place to share our kicks pick ups. Which has now evovled to other interests also. Most sites are just shoe/clothes based. Ours has music bits also.

You’ll find pictures of our store as well as updated pictures of all new sneakers we get in.

The site is run by Mike Rios the Creative Director and its been up for about two years. The site was started to compliment the growing appeal of the store located on Walnut St. Center City, Philadelphia. The site is special because it is constantly updated and each time you visit, a picture of a different shoe is refreshed. Check it out!

Kevin from NYC documents some of the custom sneakers he comes across. It features some fresh customs and saves time if you don’t want to check the custom sneaker forums.
