Sneakers are changing the world one sole at a time, and if you can’t change the world well, just like Nike says, “Just do it.”
Grails is ready to kick off Miami Art Week.
They’re bringing back their sneaker wall auction.
Eddie Fuentes: “We’re going to have 30 Miami-based artists customizing a custom shoe. We partnered up with Mache, he’s a huge international star in the customizing world, and he has his own sneaker that we are basically messing up for charity.”
The proceeds from the custom kicks goes towards SLIDES, a charity benefiting kids with cancer.
Eddie Fuentes: “SLIDES is something that is very close to our heart, we raised around $10,000 last year, and we’re going for 20 this year.”
There are big names in the Miami art scene attached to these soles.
Eddie Fuentes: “We have from Thiago to Atomik, Nate Surge, you name it, we got ’em!”
You’ll even see the artists at work, like Atomik.
Atomik: “During the event I’m going to paint a canvas live, and I will also show some work from my studio on canvas and other found objects, along with a sneaker on the sneaker wall!”
Guests will also be able to become their own footwear artists with a collaboration with Majorwavez and Puma, so you can personalize your own kicks.
Atomik: “It’s an opportunity for friends and family to get a sneaker and be able to give it their own spin on it from either changing the laces, changing the color.”
Vittoria Galluccio: “The exciting part is being able to express ourselves on the sneaker, paint on it, go back to that time when we used to do finger painting and you know put our own little details into the actual shoe.”
Not to mention get a peek at Mache’s latest drop.
Vittoria Galluccio: “We are also dropping a 3-0-5 Mache edition sneaker silhouette. It’s a color that everybody knows. It’s amazing, especially here at Grails dropping exclusively, our first sneaker drop.”
