Custom Sneakers - Hand-Painted Art on Converse Chucks from PunkYourChucks.com
If "off the rack" just doesn't do it for you, there are several options for getting customized sneakers, ranging from selecting custom colors and fabrics, to having artwork painted on a pair of classic shoes.
First let's look at the most customized option - having shoes painted. The shoes shown here feature artwork by the custom sneaker masters at PunkYourChucks.com. You can choose images from their gallery, or ask them to whip up something that's totally "you" and totally cool. And if it's more than shoes you're after, they'll paint on bags and jackets too. I'd point out what a great gift idea this is, but if you're like me, you'll be too busy thinking about your own footwear needs to consider those of your friends and family.
If you're looking for something a little less custom, you can also check out some of the many brands that are jumping on the personalization bandwagon. Listed below are just a few of the current options for custom sneakers.
