Is Sneak Peek the same as Moreiarty?

No. Moreiarty is best known for workshops and live, in-person customisation experiences at an accessible price point. Sneak Peek is a premium studio-only model — every pair is hand-painted to spec in our Mumbai studio, in Angelus paints, as a 1-of-1 limited drop.

How do prices compare between Moreiarty and Sneak Peek?

As of May 2026, Moreiarty's customs typically sit between ₹8,000 and ₹18,000, suiting first-time buyers. Sneak Peek's premium drops anchor around ₹13,999 – ₹24,999, priced for paint hours, freehand complexity, and the 1-of-1 retirement of the artwork.

Does Sneak Peek run workshops?

No — Sneak Peek is a studio-only brand. Every pair is painted by our in-house artists in Mumbai. If a workshop or live-painting event is what you are after, Moreiarty's format is built for that. If you want a finished pair shipped to your door, that is what we do.

Which is better for a gift?

If the gift is for someone deep into a fandom and you want a finished, never-reprinted pair shipped ready to wear, Sneak Peek is built for that brief. If the gift is an experience — paint your own pair together — Moreiarty's workshop format may fit better.

Where are Sneak Peek sneakers painted?

Every pair is hand-painted in our Mumbai studio with Angelus leather paints, freehand, by the in-house artist team. We do not outsource and we do not print.

Credit where it is due

Where Moreiarty Is Strong

Moreiarty has carved out a distinct lane in the Indian custom sneaker scene by leaning into experience — workshops where customers learn to paint their own sneakers, and live customisation events where artwork is created in front of you. For first-time buyers who want a more hands-on, accessible entry point into customs, that experience is genuinely valuable.

Our lane

Where Sneak Peek Is Different

Sneak Peek is built around one promise: every pair is a 1-of-1, painted freehand in our Mumbai studio, then retired. We use only Angelus leather paints — the industry standard — and seal with Angelus Finisher so the artwork holds for years of wear. We do not print, we do not stencil, and we do not repaint a design once it has shipped to the person who commissioned it. That is the entire model.

✓1-of-1 — artwork retired after the pair ships
✓Freehand only — zero stencils, zero prints
✓Angelus paints + Angelus Finisher, stated upfront
✓Hand-painted in the Mumbai studio, in-house team
