Shoes as Canvas: Custom Sneakers by Chad Cantcolor

Chad Cantcolor is an American contemporary pop artist who uses shoes as his canvas to create vibrant works of wearable art. Completely self-taught, Chad likes to use acrylic paint to bring his visions to life. His signature style combines precise brushwork with heavy outlines, and he is known for embedding ‘Easter Eggs’ within each creation.

His work is heavily inspired by the worlds of cartoons, skateboarding, punk rock and counterculture, and he has distilled these influences into a potent concoction that fuels his creative output. This eclectic mix results in pieces that are as visually chaotic as they are beautiful.

Chad’s portfolio goes beyond just sneakers, further showcasing his talent and ability to explore different mediums. His work spans across canvas and walls, which have been featured in exhibits and installations worldwide.
