Dreams come true 🥹 Never would I have imagined that my craft would land me the opportunity to design and hand-deliver a pair of my customs to the goat himself. Unreal. Unending thanks to Patrick for the opportunity 🙏 Introducing the 100% hand-painted ‘What The Messi’ Samba 🫶 Vamos campeón! 🐐🇦🇷 taken in Inter Miami CF Stadium by @stepkicks510

2024, what a year. Kept to my goal of quality over quantity and only made 56 customs this year, but really elevated the craftsmanship on each pair. Lived an absolute dream in February, making a pair for Messi and flying to Miami to hand-deliver them. Just unreal.

That was obviously the highlight, but to be honest I struggled quite a bit trying to figure out what to follow that with. As an artist you always want to top your last project, but how tf do you top making sneakers for Messi?? You can’t. In a world ruled by algorithms, the pressure to make the most of your momentum is real and can def fuck with you a bit.

I wanted to mention it because it was also a part of my year, and something that I’m sure a lot of us go through. In the end you gotta just let it all go and create what feels good without putting too much focus on how it’s going to be received. That’s how I ended the year, and it was a really great one ✨

A million thanks to everyone that ordered, shared, reposted, and gave me guidance along my way. Appreciate your all! Feliz año, see you in 2025. 👟 by @stepkicks510

“State of Harmony” Sambas - def one of the coolest pairs I got to work on this year 😍🇳🇬 @Ayotola reached out from Nigeria asking me to make some custom sambas for her husband Muktar’s bday. She wanted them to be based off their recent wedding outfits –which are beyond beautiful, swipe for the pics.

The pair came out amazing, and seeing Muktar’s reaction when he received them (video on last slide) made it all the better 🫶 taken in Nigeria by @stepkicks510

Sample Season ☕️🌵 Out of all the unreleased Travis Scott samples this one was my favorite, so I had to recreate it. I been on the Lows wave same as everyone else lately, but at the end of the day Jordan 1 Highs still have my heart. Just too clean... Who wants me to drop these?? 😮‍💨 (Peep the last slide for inspo/leaked sample pics.) by @stepkicks510
