HI EVERYONE, WELCOME TO OUR WORLD 

Our story began in 2017, when we noticed something: despite an endless array of apparel options, truly unique designs were scarce. Everyone was wearing slight variations of the same thing.

We had a different vision. With roots in technology, but artists first and shoe lovers second, we set out to build tools that would bring personal expression back into everyday fashion.

Early on, we realized our customers didn’t just want to design their own, but they wanted inspiration. So we built an in-house design team that continuously creates new artwork for our catalog. Today, Custom Kiks offers the largest collection of custom sneaker designs in the world. Each pair is a statement, an artwork, a memory, crafted to celebrate individuality and life’s biggest moments.

But we didn’t stop at design. From the beginning, we’ve prioritized doing things right: minimizing waste, avoiding mass production, and being transparent about how we operate. We don’t believe in hype or fast fashion. We believe in quality, intention, and one-of-a-kind creativity.

The unglamorous side of building a business and the behind-the-scenes grind. Alex here on the field, shipping sample shoes from a design studio in LA to our HQs in Atlanta, GA, wearing the Giraffe sneakers, naturally.

We’re self-funded, which means we grow on our terms, slowly, intentionally, and with care. We only make products for people who want (and love) them, and we’re committed to improving every part of our value chain as we grow.

As we evolve into a community that celebrates human creativity and individuality, thank you. You’re part of this story now.
