Indiana Hoosiers custom sneakers

A burgundy and cream design with IU-inspired details and Class of ’17 personalization. Our first customer custom build, shown from the original shoe to the finished reveal.

The design in the details

This pair combines an Indiana-inspired theme with a personal graduation-year detail. The finished photographs show how the color direction, side artwork and personalization work together across the shoes.

Jokers Soles develops the concept and design direction. Grant at Mellonz Sneakerz brings the artwork to life by hand. Read Grant’s story and meet the collaboration.

Start with your own story

You do not need a finished drawing. Send the theme, colors or milestone you have in mind, your shoe size and any base-shoe preference. We discuss the design, shoe, pricing and timing before work begins.

For custom basketball shoes or artwork on performance footwear, tell us the model and how you intend to wear them so we can discuss feasibility.
