Calling all sneakerheads and art fanatics! We introduce to you Custom Kicks, the ultimate sneaker customization app for your inner creative spark. Create your own custom sneakers to relax or to practice your sneaker designing skills. Simply pick which sneaker you want to customize, and get creating with our intuitive system that makes designing your own colorways simple and easy. A number of options create endless combinations and styles to keep you busy, and the inbuilt color wheel gives you the power to make any colorway you see on the shelves. First, choose to brush or spray your sneakers with 5 different brush size and hardness settings. Or if you’re in a rush, use the bucket feature to paint entire panels in just one click. An eraser and an option to skip backward or forwards allow you to edit your creation and get rid of any possible mistakes until you are happy with what you’ve made. Lastly, decide how realistic you want your design to be, with pre-made shading at your disposal on a sliding scale. Different texture options give you the chance to use patterns like carbon fiber and elephant print or mess around with a range of materials from snakeskin to satin. Once you’re done, your sneaker art can be saved and accessed at any point in the “My Work” section, allowing you to come back to a piece later on and update it or share it with the world. This is also why our app is the perfect tool for sneaker customizers, who can test out their designs first virtually, and then use it as a reference when transferring the design onto a real pair of shoes. Your own sneaker coloring book in your back pocket, to keep you entertained on long haul flights, or to practice your skills late into the night!
