Skulls skulls skulls

New shoe decorated with sneakskin pattern sheets in Soul simple's designs, check them out here. In case you're wondering this is an AF1 with the swoosh taken off (long story).

Customise your sneakart.com

It's a little known fact but along with your shoes it's also possible to customise our site. If you get bored with the blue background, just click on the link that says "select background/£ $ €" in the bottom left corner and choose something that suits your mood. You can even buy the patterns if they take your fancy.

What can you do with a photo?

We're getting our new retail packaging finalised (in stores soon) and playing about with some images. The pink and white picture actually uses a flower image but comes out like some kind of fur. We know the NY skyline has been done many a time but it shows what you can do with a great photo. See what you can upload at sneakart.com.

Argyle AF1 ideas

New designs coming soon....

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.

Geometric designs

Some cool geometric designs, uploaded by Soulsimple. Check out the black one and the pink one here..

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.

Sneaker Seeker Workshop 2

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.

Sneaker Seeker project under way

The Sneaker Seeker project is underway! Check out the great write up from Sneaker Freaker. Our very own Chris was on hand to guide people in their quest for sneakskinned sneaks. We'll post pictures of the final shoes as things progress, there are loads more workshops planned.

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.
