Emil Kozak book


We are in print! Sneakart has it's very own page in "One Day' by Emil Kozak, alongside fantastic artists such as Dave White, Tado and Jeremyville. The book takes a look at how graphics have become a visual soundtrack for our daily lives, and adorn everything from alarm clocks to skateboards. Buy it here.

Sneaker Seeker Winner!



Sneakart and Soleheaven went off for a little jaunt to Slough, UK to check out the results of the Sneaker Seeker project. Over 100 people attended the custom kicks workshops over several months and some amazing designs came out of it. It was really difficult to chose but we went with JC's design as the winner. Thanks to everyone to who took part and especially to Krissie from Future Culture who organised the entire event. More pics to follow soon.

More from Sneaker Seeker


Apparently the Sneakart customisation series of workshops have been super popular, being seriously oversubscribed and creating some great buzz for the Sneaker Seeker project.



The project examines creativity, heritage and identity with young people between the ages of 13-25 through the medium of kicks. The AF1s were kindly sourced by our friends at SoleHeaven, check them out if you're looking for cool new sneakers.

So far, over fifty young people have designed their very own free pair of Nike Air Force 1s and the sneakers will feature in a massive exhibition happening with Slough Museum from May 2009 onwards. Can't wait to see it.

Here's a little sample of some of the great designs coming out of the latest Sneaker Seeker Workshop. These skins were designed last week on paper, we printed them out on Sneakskin today and they'll be applied to some fresh AF1s on Wednesday. Can't wait to see the results.

Barbed Safari

Did these a while ago and forgot to post the picture. Here are 2 different patterns sheets used on one panel to create the effect of a seam. I just created the template like normal then drew a line where I wanted to the seam. Think it looks quite good, might do it again with some different colours next time.

New homepage image



Playing around with a new homepage image today. We want to get across what sneakart is all about in one image, it's quite difficult. The team thought this was a bit confusing so it's not going up. The hand looks a bit like a strange bird....

One shoe, 9 different looks

This was my submission for the Sneaker Freaker Best of 2008 feature. It didn't make the cut but SF did say they liked the image. My favourite of all these designs is Blue Mischief and That's Life both by talented German artists.
