Custom Sneaker Designer Draws Big Stars

Friday, 25 April 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The San Antonio Express-News profiles Jake Danklefs, an artist who customizes sneakers for a living. He gets about 20 requests a day for custom designs for which he charges anywhere from $300 to $1000 a pair, and you must include the shoes. He’s designed for LeBron James and Olympic sprinter Justyn Warner among others. Danklefs doesn’t change the integrity of the shoe, but customizes them using paint, decals or laser engraving.
