Then some of my friends started asking me to paint their gym shoes and I would take old shoes that didn't fit people anymore, refurbish and custom hand paint them and sell them on ebay. I started saving up and soon enough bought cases of plain white shoes and would paint, and sell them to friends and ebay. In 2009 I got a call from sharpie, and they wanted to interview me and get what i do out to
the public (check it out under the sharpie link under links). That they did, and when sharpie put a huge article on their website for me, is when OPC KICKS really started to blow up. Now we take personal orders and make our own designs, all of our shoes are wiped down with chemicals, hand painted with high quality leather shoe paints, or (refabricated) and glossed with our own secret gloss sealant so the paint will not chip or crack off! Our designs can be anything you personally want them to be, what is better than making your own one of a kind pair of shoes? We are a team of four and can make any type/design of custom shoes you can think of! We thrive on new ideas and challenges. Please check out some of our works of art and our new and upcoming shirt releases! Thank you for your support and rock on! Links
