Why custom sneakers work when swag doesn’t
Most “corporate gifts” end up in a drawer. Fruit baskets rot. Mugs collect dust. Logos fade.
Wearable art does the opposite: it gets laced up, shown off, filmed, and talked about. Every compliment becomes your intro. Every post becomes your reach. And the person wearing it? They remember exactly who made them feel special.
Retention ↑
Clients feel chosen. You become the story they tell.
Referrals ↑
Every compliment turns into your intro.
UGC ↑
Deliveries are filmed. They post. You repost.
Meet the artist
I started painting sneakers, while recovering from a depression and that quickly grew into a new business. I saw what happened at hand-offs: people lit up. They filmed. They posted. They kept talking about the moment.
With my experience as a marketing agency owner I saw potential for agency owners to build genuine connections with their clients. In a fast-paced world where Ai and automations take over, it's a way to differentiate yourself and maintain that personal touch.
Now I build statement pieces for founders, speakers, and agencies all over the world.
ADHD brain, artist heart, obsessive details.

Recent Work
Who it's for / not for
For founders, speakers, and agencies who care about feeling over logo-slapping, want film worthy moments, and like bold, custom work.
Not for merch collectors, last-minute rush with full control, or anyone who wants our art style without letting us create.
Questions You Might Have
Timeline & batching
Reserve a slot (Personal) or choose a package (Client Love Machine) to get on the calendar. You get updates during the process of creation. For personal pairs expect a turnaround of 2 to 3 weeks from when we start to the day your shoes arrive on your doorstep. For the Client Love Machine, you get your gifts every month.
Revisions
For your personal shoes we discuss beforehand the design. After you approve the design you get updates (pictures and video). It's possible to make changes, but limited. When paint is on the shoes, we cannot make big changes anymore. But rest assured we will discuss what's possible and do our best.
For client gifts the production is more streamlined. We give updates and when you see something you don't like, please let us know. Most of our clients trust the artist ;-)
Shipping & delivery
Gifts are shipped to you; you deliver and film the moment. All prices include shipping to one address (exceptions may apply).
Wearability
Singles are display pieces. Pairs are built to be worn. Every pair is finished with a protective coating and water-resistant spray. Take care of them and they will last like factory shoes. (We advise not to play soccer with them)
Usage rights
You can film and repost. We may feature work unless you opt out.
Deposits (Personal Branding)
Deposits are fully refundable until your reserved month starts. After that, the deposit is locked and applied to your total.
Can the custom product be returned/exchanged
Given the bespoke nature of our creations, we are unable to accommodate returns or exchanges unless there is a defect. Rest assured, we are committed to resolving any concerns you might have with your custom piece.
Do you ship internationally?
Something Elz delivers worldwide! This means that you can place an order anywhere in the world and your shoes will be delivered to your doorstep!
