Editors Note: This workshop took place on the 18th of March in collaboration with Budweiser Studios at the #HGStreet Festival.
This is a Budweiser Studios x #HGACADEMY initiative. If I had a dime each time I fantasized about new sneakers with cool designs and my name etched on them with diamantes, I’d be a millionaire by now. Sneaker customization is an emerging art form that enables you to put your design vision into your footwear — a fashion statement that you can carry with you.
All art is an expression of the artist's creativity and sneaker customization is gaining worldwide popularity thanks to different athletes putting it in the spotlight; we can say that it’s steadily gaining traction as an alternative art form. Sneaker customization is the process of altering an existing shoe model widely available in the market and putting your spin on it. More and more Indian artists are taking it up as a vocation.
If you are a sneakerhead, you are in for a treat at the #HGStreet Festival as it will play host to one of the leading sneaker customizers in the field, Chaitanya Dixit, who will conduct a workshop on the basics of sneaker customization.
