Hip-hop culture elevated the sneaker from casual footwear to street-art form,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Chris Hui is one of its prodigies.
Hui,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a marketing junior at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management, has a leg up on most of his fellow students when it comes to entrepreneurial studies. He's been designing custom kicks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including several pairs for some high-profile customers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since he was a 14-year-old kid growing up in Milwaukee.
The beginning: "Me and my buddy were bored so we spray-painted our shoes. The paint flaked off,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I researched and experimented on how to do it better until my parents refused to buy me any more shoes to wreck. I started getting shoes at Goodwill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], painting them green for the Packers or purple for the Vikings, and selling them on eBay for $20 a pair. I thought,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'This is a way better way to make money than doing chores'."
Unusual teenage request: "Begging my dad to take me to JoAnn Fabrics [for supplies]."
Cost: $300, including the shoes.
Favorite brands: Nike is most popular, also Vans.
Average work hours per pair: 10.
Awards: Named best custom designer (2006) and two-time customizer of the year (2004 and 2005) by Sole Collector magazine.
Favorite customer interaction: Backstage with rapper Lupe Fiasco. "I made him a pair of shoes when he was up and coming, two years before going to his Milwaukee concert after he got famous. He called me backstage before the show while 50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 people were waiting to hear him. He was cool. I made his shoes black with a pink-camouflage stripe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because he used to dress kind of punk rock for a rapper."
Other celeb customers: Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], LeBron James ("his were green and gold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to honor his legendary high school career with St. Vincent-St. Mary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and 'The Chosen One,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' written on the back to match his tattoo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],") and Carson Daly ("his were kind of generic, with his talk show's logo").
Design philosophy: Mash-up. "I like interpreting the design of one shoe, and putting it onto another,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sort of like musicians making Beatles songs into hip-hop."
