Bongo's Story

My name is John Hughes and I have been obsessed with trainers (sneakers) and fashion for as long as I can remember. I have always liked the unusual and quirky when it comes to clothing and shoes. I’m always looking for that something that’s a little bit different. I look at clothes and trainers and always think about what I would have done differently, or what could be done to make them perfect for my tastes.

 

The global pandemic gave me some down time and I decided to use my time to do something creative. After seeing several custom trainer/sneaker accounts, and my obsession with trainers/sneakers, it was a no brainer to buy a custom starter kit and start painting on shoes.

 

I have spent every spare moment trying new techniques and learning new skills. I have been able to turn several ideas I had in my head into reality. Having shared some of my art, I have done a number of commission pieces, as well as my own projects that are now proudly worn by their new owners.

 

Trainer/Sneaker art has become my passion and I want to share it with the World.

John has done 2 pairs of shoes for my 2 year old. Everywhere I go I am stopped and asked where I got my sons shoes! He's a busy 2 year old and the shoes look the same now as the day we got them. Amazing quality!!

I gave John some basic ideas about what my partner liked and her favourite colours. John sourced the shoes and was in touch with me throughout the process to update me on progress. My partner hasn't taken them off since receiving them!!

My son loves branded clothing and shoes. With money tight its hard to keep him in the clothes he loves. John did an amazing job of combining my sons favourite brand designs with his favourite shoes. He now proudly stands out in the crowd with his amazing unique shoes.
