Every pair is meticulously handmade using reconstruction methods to improve durability. Hi, my name is Jorge, AKA Sharp020. I’m a sneaker customizer based in Miami, Florida. My work focuses on reconstructing sneakers using modern quilting. I enjoy creating minimal designs via quilts by utilizing negative space, intentional colors, and unusual quilt patterns. Customizing began for me in early 2006,
starting with simple glued-on pieces of fabrics and one-skins. In mid-2007, I successfully took a shoe apart and reconstructed it. Since then, my work has consisted of reconstructed sneakers. I strive to perfect my techniques on each piece I work on and always try something new. A few things I enjoy are reading science fiction books, rollerblading, and hanging out with my girlfriend and my two doggies. I watch anime, my favorite is Macross, and I play video games from different genres, such as the Ace Combat series, State of Decay 2, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
