Painting something takes a whole lot of skill, but painting sneakers? That’s a whole nother level.

Because sneakers are entirely different from your typical canvass, painting sneakers take a different skill set. You’d have to adjust to the different contours of each sneaker, as well as make sure that the paint you’re using actually lasts long enough to not fade easily, especially after the sneakers have been worn.

Puck’n Khaos is sort of an expert about all things painting sneakers.

As an artist, Puck’n Khaos has a tendency to work on a lot of things, and most if not all of them are actually quite good. However, her latest work easily takes the cake.

Painting an all-white Jordan Air Force Ones, Puck’n Khaos spent nearly two days transforming the classic sneaker into something that’s arguably even better. She decided to use “Into the Spiderverse” as a theme, and the results are excellent enough that you’ll wonder how and why Marvel decided to pass up on the opportunity to market sneakers like this to take advantage of Marvel’s current popularity.

In any case, be sure to scroll down below to see more of Gigi Rodgers’ work.

The Vans brand is known for collaborating with other brands and artists to create collections that celebrate art and culture. A few years ago they released an amazing collection, which was a collaborative effort with the Van Gogh Museum. Fans of the Dutch painter have had the wonderful opportunity to take a walk in Vans’ sneakers inspired by Van Gogh’s most famous works. 

And with the initial collection being such a huge success, this year Vans decided to launch another art-inspired collection. This time it’s all about the Mexican legend, Frida Kahlo, best known for her self-portraits and nature-inspired works.  

Three of the main models got a new version – the OG Sk8-Hi LX has a self-portrait by Two Fridas (1939), The OG Authentic LX has a watermelon print from “Live Your Life” (Viva la Vida – 1954), and the OG Slip-On LX has a self-portrait with “Thorny Necklace and Hummingbird”. 

Vans made sure to do justice with the celebrated artist. The sneakers are (almost) as unique as Frida Kahlo was and wearing them will add to your overall artistic appeal. Or so we hope!
