    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things.

Welcome to Shacklez Urban Footwear / Bienvenido a Shacklez Urbano Calzado

 

Styles and fashions have always been my primary interest; therefore I emphasize aesthetic urban footwear because I believe a sneaker should be seen clearly from front to back. My organization is an exclusive group of entrepreneurs that customize and promote hand designed sneakers and fashion accessories. I've been customizing sneakers for over 3 years with the background of design and illustration for the past eight years. We take the sneaker game very serious so therefore every design we do is carefully hand painted and safeguarded to retain paints and repel water... Also, our sneaker designs are usually Nike Airforce Ones just because they are sneakers that our customers purchase all the time but we are not limit to them.  In closing we will exhibit at various annual sneaker events throughout the states to promote our organization and provides exposures to business that caters to demographic of male and female consumers of urban wear.  Please feel free to check back with us for tradeshow inquires.
