Sole Heaven now stocks the iconic Nike Dunk High sneakers in brand new colorway of Swan and Anthracite. "The marbled effect running along the rubber sole of the shoes are a unique and fashion forward contrast to the clean, full leather white upper, creating a statement shoe for those looking to stand out in a crowd."
British footwear retailer Sole Heaven announces the return Shoddy, a London based artist and illustrator to the site popular Custom Kicks arena. As for his obsession of filling the space with his meticulous and unique "patternpaint" technique, the artist had a collaboration with trainer giant Gravis in producing exclusive pair of shoes. Working on with the collaboration, the shoes went from classic to fantastic showing what it's like to have a modern makeover.
‘‘The idea for the pattern came from numerous different sources… I’m a conscious doodler and some of doodles take on a cartoon like appearance, I even have a character that appears in my work. Other doodles have been inspired by patterns I have seen in nature or mathematical creations. The ‘patternpaint’ style is a kind of painted cartoon pattern doodle… … I can, and do apply this pattern to anything that will take the paint. I can see the ‘patternpaint’ style taking over the world, but my short term goals are a bathroom wall, and some antlers’’
