Our Process
Each pair is a testament to timeless craftsmanship and unrivaled artistry, meticulously crafted to match the unique desires of our discerning clients. The products we create are a reflection of our love & passion, taking over 60 hours to create, and we spare no effort in ensuring that every pair is nothing short of pure comfort.
The Last in made in accordance to the base shoe for the most accurate shape of silhouette. If the base shoe caused discomfort the last would then be modified for the client’s fit. All our shoes are left on the last for a minimum of 72 hours, allowing them to fully conform to the last's shape.
The pattern is created in our private studio by passionate and experienced craftsmen. Every component of the pattern is carefully traced from the deconstructed base shoe. If necessary, the pattern is customized according to the needs of our client.
Explore an extensive array of materials, featuring premium selections like full-grain calf leathers, nubuck, and suede, all imported from Italy. Additionally, indulge in our unparalleled range of authentic exotic leathers, including personally handpicked Crocodile and Burmese Python by our Founder. KICKXOTIC has access to silks, cashmere, and fabrics sourced from across the globe for a truly luxurious experience.
We're able to accommodate the client's personalization requests, provided they align with the KICKXOTIC brand identity. This includes incorporating custom logos, special dates, names, and initials. Additionally, we offer options to digitally print or tattoo custom artwork onto fabric or leather. Furthermore, we cater to asymmetrical feet. Please utilize our form to convey any specific requirements you might have.
Following weeks of dedication, the customized sneakers are finally complete. Each pair is thoughtfully packaged with care. By the time the shoes are delivered, our team will have executed no less than 200 procedures, ensuring the creation of impeccably unique footwear crafted just for you.
