Zokart
Zokart’s story began with the idea of empowering local Indian artists. ‘Hand-painted’ and ‘hand-crafted’ are the two strong pillars of their brand. You can get any design of your choice painted on your shoe. It takes them a day or two to complete customisation on a single pair of shoes. They primarily use Fevicryl acrylic paints, and have several options when it comes to footwear. You can customise slipons, sliders, sneakers, converse and lace-up shoes among other types.

Mel’s Make
Mumbai-based Mel’s Make by Melroy Williams and Jennifer Cooper takes your ordinary pair of sneakers and turns it into art. They typically take between 10 days and a fortnight depending on their workload. They use paint markers, fabric paints, leather paints and spray paints among other materials. They also custom paint footwear for both men and women. In order to style up your sneakers, all you need to do is order a pair of shoes online. An existing new pair would do, too. Get it delivered to their address and send them an idea or a reference image of what you’d like on your shoes. They put their creative heads to it, custom paint them and have them delivered to you.

Unhinged customs
Unhinged Customs creates wearable art pieces based on a client’s preferences as long as they are not copied or offensive to anyone. Their collection includes vibrant and creative designs from Netflix shows, anime, and football, among other themes, and they also customise shoes, wallets, jackets, and other items, as long as the material is paintable and of good quality. They are known for their finish and detailing and it generally takes them two to three days to get the items ready. All custom pieces are made with acrylic paints, and the price depends on the project.

Courtside
Courtside is a sneaker customisation agency, which generally works on premium sneakers like Jordans or Nike Air Force 1. They don’t just limit themselves to paint, but also use embroidery techniques, or stitch materials together. It takes them about three weeks to get to the finished artwork. They also use all kinds of stitching, fabric and reflective materials to make sure that what they create doesn’t look like anything that’s already
out there.
