Custom Designed SSK Lace Locks

In a collaborative effort So Sick Kicks teamed up with Design Proper Clothing Company to produce custom lace locks. So Sick Kicks is now offering a FREE set of lace locks with every sneaker purchase!

Red Carpet

A local photographer commissioned these kicks after seeing samples of my work at a local art collaborative. She wanted something simple that honored her love of music, the arts, and fashion. My inspiration for the design was DC's historic U Street Corridor.

Smart, Sexy and Stylish

I made this pair for a client who is a fancy NASA engineer from 9 to 5, and an aspiring stylist 24/7! The flip side of these awesome extra high-top Chucks features the planet earth gliding through outer space, and a fierce spacewoman surveying the extraterrestrial landscape.

Hook ’Em Horns

College football fans take note: UT fans aren't shy about expressing their pride! I had lots of fun with this shoe, which was actually a surprised birthday gift for a very lucky boyfriend (he is now a fiancee... I wonder why...). The toughest part of the shoe was getting the color exactly right; Longhorn orange is a great color with strong red tones. Once we got the color, the only other challenge was fitting all of those national championships on one shoe!

When In Rome…

When a client approached me about transferring an al fresco design onto her kicks, I knew that I would have a great time with her request. These kicks are one of my all time favorites because they contrast the fine art style of the Mediterranean with the raw classic beauty of Chucks. Viva l'Italia!

Custom Kicks: The Reel World

A love of traveling, Nigerian film, and gorgeous tropical beaches were my client's inspiration for these kicks. You only live once, and she knows how to live! The beaches, fishermen, and palm trees were all included as homages to this client's home country of Cameroon!

Featured Kicks: Sweet Aventure

My love for ice cream, cute kids, and warm weather were the inspiration for these sweet tooth tempting kicks. I like to think that these chocolate chip cookies, mint ocean, and ice cream cones give Mr. Wonka a run for his money!

Featured Kicks: Stars Burn Out

Down goes the sun, up goes the moon, out come the stars. Well, they don't always come out in DC, NYC, or the many other places from which So Sick Kickers hail, but they're still out there! Stars always remind me that our struggle for human connection doesn't have to be as difficult as we make it-- you don't need a computer to share a moment beneath the sky. But difficult it is, because come morning the stars burn out of the sky and I'm left wondering if anyone else feels their absence as I do.

Custom Kicks: Brave New Breed

These kicks were specially made for "Triple Threat" a HOT local rapper, producer and CEO of Brave New Breed Ent. The label has just dropped a mixtape: "Grand Theft Audio Vol. 1". Check out their site and download the album! www.bravenewbreed.com
