Stizo is a talented Chicago artist who customizes sneakers and den sum. Check out some of his work here:
Stizo custom shoes. I was inspired by his work and decided to design customized shoes for mine and Nic's wedding. I created an Easter Island scene because that's where we were going for our honeymoon. I chose the shoes and colors to follow our wedding color scheme: yellow, green, and black. I coordinated with Stizo to make sure the material and design were okay, then he painted the design on the shoes...and it looked AWESOME! Turned out exactly the way I envisioned. We gave matching shoes to all our groomsmen and bridesmaids (sans customization) and we all wore our kicks to the wedding reception. Check out our wedding kicks pix shot by Misha Media on
their blog. (Btw, Misha Media did a fantabulous job photographing our wedding day...can't stop looking at their pics!)
Stizo, thank you for lending your dope skills and helping to create such an important element in our wedding!
