Tretorn custom kicks

Tretorn's iconic NYLITE sneaker is turning 50. As part of the celebration, I was asked to join a small circle of designers in the brand's Blank Canvas art event.

To answer the call of designing a shoe based on what inspires me, I custom-crafted a Facebook poster art pair of Tretorn Nylites.

Tretorn will host an event in December 2017 at Art Basel showcasing all 50 pairs from artists all over the planet. The shoes will be on display and available for auction. All proceeds from the auction will then be donated to an Arts Education Fund.
