Can we call them sneakers, or should we call them art?

Colormefresh Cartoon Collection.

If you're looking for sneakers as rare and unique as the 7 dragon balls, this drop is for you. But we can't talk about Color Me Fresh's creations as if they were any custom sneakers, ‘cause in fact, they are art. The California-based brand has been working with leather painting since 2008, but it only became a real business after 2019, and now it's coming to the NTWRK app.

In case you didn't know, NTWRK is, according to their own bio, “a mobile-first video shopping platform that seamlessly blends entertainment and commerce, giving our global unprecedented audience access to exclusive products from world-renowned artists, brands, and personalities.” But let's get back to what matters, art sneakers.

These are 1 of 1 designs that won't be duplicated. They're story-driven shoes with the primary focus being art, details, and intricacy. Each customization takes around 40 to 80 hours to be completed, bringing the leather painting to life in each character and each totally unique order.

In the Colormefresh Cartoon Collection, the brand colored leather Nike AJs High with Dragon Ball's Kame Sennin character, bringing all the old hermit elements from the sole to the shoelaces. Also on AJs High the True Pirate, Luffy from One Piece earned his homage with embossed details and many colors. Both are available exclusively on the NTWRK app.
