Two ways to order custom sneakers in India

The first is to choose from the designs on this page. Each one is painted by hand on the shoe it is listed on. The prices for these designs run from ₹10,999 to ₹24,999, shoe included, and each design page shows its sizes.

The second is to bring your own idea: a character, a team, a band, a film or a moment you love. Tell us, and we sketch the concept with you before any paint touches the shoe. Custom pairs start at ₹12,999, and we quote each one once we have seen the idea.

Why hand-painted sneakers are not printed

Every design is painted freehand, in thin layers, with Angelus leather paints. There are no prints, stickers or transfers, so the art is painted onto the leather itself.

Two pairs of the same design never come out exactly alike, because a hand does the painting. A custom pair is one of one.

Sizes and payment

Order your usual UK size. Each design shows the sizes it comes in, and its size guide gives UK, US and EU sizes with the length of the foot in centimetres. Between sizes? Ask us before you order, because a pair cannot be exchanged later.

A design from the site is paid in full at checkout, on our Shopify checkout, in Indian rupees. A custom design is booked with 50% upfront. We do not take cash on delivery. A GST invoice is available on request.
