D&D meeting With Our Founder
Design & Development
We always encourage our clients to have as much input as possible in the design. Nicholas will personally guide you through our design process in a one-hour Design & Development meeting; this meeting can either take place in person or online. During the meeting we will go through every single detail of the project to ensure that we have the best understanding of your vision, personality and style. It would be best to have some design ideas and a rough idea of your budget before our conversation. Any information you can provide beforehand will help us to make the best recommendations for you.

Our Process
Crafting
We are dedicated to achieving the highest standards of craftmanship. Our sneakers are made to wear and last. We never compromise on our process or the time needed. The crafting process takes between 4 to 8 weeks for a bespoke pair.
The Last
The Last in made in accordance to the base shoe for the most accurate shape of silhouette. If the base shoe caused discomfort the last would then be modified for the client’s fit. We leave all our shoes in the last for at least 72 hours to fully take the shape of the last.
The Pattern
Every Pattern is made by hand from deconstructing every single piece from the base shoe and traced on to hard paper. We are able to modify the pattern to incorporate the client’s unique design and personal taste.
Leather and Fabric
Choose from a wealth of materials that include full grain calf leathers, nubuck, and suede options are all imported from Italy. We provide an unrivaled selection of genuine exotic leathers such as Crocodile and Burmese Python that is personally hand-pick by our Founder. KICKXOTIC has access to some of the most luxurious silks, cashmere and fabric from all over the world.
Personalization
We can accommodate any personalization requirements or desires the client may have, given that they are in keeping with the identity of KICKXOTIC branding. Thus, we can include a client’s custom logo, special date, favorite quote, or even the client’s name and initials. We can even digitally print or tattoo the client’s custom artwork on to leather or fabric.
The Completion
After months of work, the bespoke sneakers are ready. Each pair is presented to the client in a handmade box sheathed in the materials of choice, personalized by the client. By the time the shoes are delivered, our team would have performed no fewer than 200 procedures to create the perfect and wholly unique footwear for the client.
