Custom Hand-Painted Sneakers for the
and Crown Royal

A Luxury Brand Collaboration by Pappion Artistry
Working with iconic brands is one of the most rewarding parts of being a professional artist. One of the highlights of my career was creating custom hand-painted sneakers for a collaboration between the New Orleans Saints and Crown Royal.
At Pappion Artistry, I specialize in custom painted sneakers, luxury art commissions, and branded artwork that transform meaningful partnerships into unforgettable visual statements. This project was a perfect example of how fine art, fashion, and branding come together.

Custom Sneaker Art as a Luxury Brand Experience
Every pair of custom sneakers I create is treated as a fine art commission, not mass-produced merchandise. These shoes were designed to reflect the shared identity of two powerful brands while maintaining an elevated, artistic feel.
Design elements included:
Hand-painted Saints-inspired black and gold details
Crown Royal’s signature purple and gold color palette
Professional leather paints for durability and wearability
Protective sealing to preserve the artwork long-term
Each sneaker was painted entirely by hand, ensuring no two pairs were ever the same.

Why Brands Choose Custom Hand-Painted Sneakers
Custom sneakers have become one of the most impactful forms of corporate gifting and brand storytelling. Instead of traditional promotional items, brands are choosing art-driven pieces that feel exclusive and meaningful.
Benefits of custom sneaker art for brands:
Creates a one-of-a-kind luxury gift
Elevates brand image through fine art craftsmanship
Strengthens emotional connection with recipients
Ideal for partnerships, VIP gifts, and executive presentations
These sneakers were designed not just to be worn—but to be remembered.
A New Orleans Artist Collaborating with Iconic Brands
As a New Orleans-based artist, working with the Saints carries deep personal and cultural meaning. My work is heavily inspired by New Orleans culture, creativity, and storytelling, which made this collaboration especially powerful.
This project blended:
Sports branding
Luxury spirits branding
Hand-painted fine art techniques
New Orleans heritage and pride
It’s an honor to represent my city while working with nationally recognized brands.
