My sneakers say a lot about me, my personality, my style, my mood. My sneakers remind me what's good and tell you to take notice. They are memories on my feet, my canvas to make a statement. A little swag to my step with an outfit to match, my sneakers say a lot. What do your sneakers say?

On Display for a Day
The event was fun! Pretty low key since it was during the day (12-4pm). It was a little nerve-wracking to be in front of everyone, cuz I don't really like when people watch me. I could feel the pressure, but it was ok. I kept the stuff up and running until around 6pm, then packed it up. I think if it were at night, especially with the dj, the event would've been more bustling. It wasn't until right before I left at 8pm, did more and more people come up to me and ask about the sneakers I put in the display case and talk about the event. Overall it was a good day. It was fun being "on display" in the window. When I wasn't customizing a customer's sneakers, "in the meantime, in between time", I brought a pair to do myself. It has pens, a pencil, line designs and my stolen lyric/motto from Da Bush Babees "we run styles, no styles no run we." What I remember most about the event, were the people. As I sat in the window, it was cool to see everyone crowd around, point at the ones they liked and the sign language they'd do to me thru the glass to show approval.
Hey I'm Maria. Welcome to the blog! I've been doing sneaker customization for a while now and it's awesome creating for people. Enjoy the pictures and the stories behind each sneaker -- let me know if you are interested in a pair :)
