Sneaker Art… Customizable and Cool
Posted on January 15th, 2009 by jitterbugbaby under Shoe AccessoriesIt should come as no surprise to regular readers here that I love me some customizing options for my shoes. Straps? Check. Ribbons? Check. Clips? Check.
Well, here’s the newest one.
Stickers.
Yep, that’s right.
Sneakart has for sale sheets of adhesive decals that will spruce up any old pair of kicks. Or, if you’re fine with your sneaker style, stick these on that old pair of Docs or the beat-up old pair of… well… any kind of shoe you want. Bam! Instead style update.
And the possibilities are kind of endless.
Take this sheet:
Cut it up how you like. Peel it off its backing. And stick it on where you want. (If you’re feeling nervous, there are a number of tutorials to help you along.)
The store is full of these goodies. Some are one complete sheet like this, some offer several patterns on one sheet.
There’s even the option to upload your own imagery and have it printed and sent to you, ready to go onto your feet.
There are a scrillion* different options, so get to it.
And then send in your accomplishment to the Sneakart folks, and you might end up in the gallery.
Need some inspiring photos? Here are a just a few of the neat creations people have already come up with.
The catch is that, while these puppies are pretty cheap for getting a new styled pair of shoes (ranging from about £4-7), they’re only available in the UK. For now. So enjoy, Brits. Or get your Brit friend to mail ‘em to you.
ETA: Aha! Turns out international folks are in luck. Zoe from Sneakart has helpfully mentioned in the comments that you can pay £2.25/$3.75 for international shipping to anywhere in the world. Sweet!
