Croissant Customs first began in the fall of 2019 when I started customizing a pair of Nike Air Force Ones as a gift for a friend. In the process, I discovered how much I love creating unique, wearable artwork on the perfect canvas for self-expression: a blank white pair of shoes.

Since then, I’ve designed and hand-painted 100+ pairs of custom shoes, and my customs have found a home in 12 different countries worldwide.
