MEET THE CREATOR: @chaseshiel 🇦🇺

16 years ago, Chase picked up a paintbrush and started customising sneakers. Today he’s a master sneaker atelier, remaking authentic bespoke pairs from the sole up in Melbourne.

After training in traditional shoemaking, he realised his true calling was always sneakers. Now he combines classic craft with bold design for some of the biggest names around: Sir Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Rory McIlroy, The King’s Trust and the England football teams.

Every pair is built on four things: aesthetics, flawless execution, storytelling and determination. Swipe through to see what that looks like 👟

✨ Commissions are open. Order through Chase’s CANVVS page via the link in our bio.

🚨 WIN A ONE-OF-ONE PAIR OF CUSTOM AIHL SNEAKERS 🚨

@chaseshiel x The District collab is back — and this time it’s for the hockey heads. 🏒

We’ve teamed up with custom sneaker artist Chase Shiel to build an exclusive one-of-one pair of @theaihl kicks. Hand-crafted, never to be recreated, valued at $1,000 — and one die-hard hockey fan is taking them home.

There is one pair on the planet. They’re not dropping in stores. They could be yours. 👟

HOW TO ENTER — all three: Sign up to The District Docklands mailing list (link in bio) Follow @thedistrictdocklands Follow @theaihl

📅 Entries close 11:59pm Sunday 31 August 🏆 Winner drawn Monday 7 September 👟 Valued at $1,000

Made to order once we have your size, so allow up to two months for Chase to build them. Collected in person from The District — we don’t post them.

Rink tickets are sold out, but the big screen isn’t. Catch the Goodall Cup Grand Final at HOYTS The District this Sunday — second cinema just added. 🎬

Tag the biggest hockey fan you know 👇

T&Cs apply. 18+, AUS residents. Full terms via link in bio. This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Instagram or Nike.

Movement is in our DNA. This week at our Melbourne ASICS SportStyle Pop-Up, a mural bloomed, sneakers got personal, and everyone left with something to carry with them. That’s the magic of moving together.
 There’s still time to experience it for yourself. We’ll see you there.

🗓️ 5-9 August 📍264 Exhibition Street  🕦 Opening Hours: Friday - Saturday: 10am-6pm Sunday: 10am-4pm

Some of the YouTube thumbnail options I tested for Episode 1. We ended up going with slide 2.

YouTube thumbnails are still something I’m learning and figuring out. A lot of it seems to come down to balancing curiosity, relevance and making someone stop scrolling long enough to click.

Definitely a lot of trial and error.

New workshop that I’ve built solely for the purpose of creating consistent content and showcasing how I go about creating my work.

And this account will be dedicated to behind-the-scenes footage of my day-to-day making as well as my YouTube Series - Proof of Concept (POC)

Finishing touches. Final checks on the HJ1 with @chaseshiel

Quality is not negotiated. That’s why everything here is handmade.

I’m super lucky and very fortunate to be one of the owners of only around 30 pairs of Fujifilm #greenblooded Converse sneakers to be custom made by Chase Shiel for Fujifilm Australia 👟

Thank you @fujifilmx_au for selecting little me to be a part of your insane team. I am truly grateful for everything your company does to boost my photography life !
