ABOUT US
About KIH
Hand-painted custom shoes, made one pair at a time.
OUR STORY
Art You Can Walk In
KIH started with a simple belief — shoes shouldn’t be mass-produced copies of each other. They can carry your story, your favorite art, your memories.
Every order begins as a conversation. We sketch, you approve, and then each pair is painted entirely by hand using professional leather paints and protective coatings, so the artwork stays vivid through daily wear.
From graffiti streets to delicate florals, from anime icons to your pet’s portrait — if you can imagine it, we can paint it.
THE PROCESS

3. We Design Your Mockup
Our artist creates a digital design mockup based on your idea.
4. You Approve the Design
We refine the mockup together until you are 100% happy with it.
5. Hand-Painting Begins
Your shoes are painted by hand, layer by layer, then sealed.
6. Shipped to Your Door
Carefully packed and shipped worldwide with tracking.
FAQ
Common Questions
Will the painting fade or peel off?
Before painting, we treat the shoe surface with a professional deglazer. After the artwork is finished, we apply three coats of protective finisher. The design is waterproof and highly resistant to chipping and fading.
How good is the painting quality?
Every pair is painted by artists who graduated from professional fine-art academies. Each design is hand-drawn with brush-level detail — no prints, no stickers, no shortcuts.
How do I clean my custom shoes?
Simply wipe off dirt with a damp cloth or a wet wipe. No special care is needed — the sealed finish protects the artwork during everyday wear.
What paints do you use?
For leather uppers we use Angelus leather paint, the industry standard for custom sneakers. For canvas and fabric we use professional acrylic paints, sealed for durability.
