Custom Hand-Painted Sneakers for the

New Orleans Saints

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.
