For as long as I can remember, Hip-Hop has been my way of life, and basketball was my sanctuary. Sneaker culture became the bridge that connected these two worlds for me. As a kid, I would spend countless hours trying to convince my parents to buy me the latest Jordans, passionately telling them the backstory of each pair and what made it so special. Over the years, my love for sneakers only deepened, and I came to realize that what makes an iconic sneaker isn’t just the materials or design—it’s the story embedded in the design and how it resonates with the person wearing it.
During my time at the University of San Francisco, I discovered the budding world of custom sneakers through the trailblazing work of the OGs who came before me. Their creativity and craftsmanship revealed how an iconic silhouette could be reimagined to tell a deeply personal story. I was inspired beyond measure and determined to bring this art form back to my home in Bangkok. It took five years of relentless grinding, learning, and perfecting my craft to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to turn my vision into reality.
In late 2018, with the unwavering support of friends and family, KICKXOTIC was born. It became the platform to showcase my designs and, more importantly, to give creative clients the opportunity to bring their sneaker ideas to life. At KICKXOTIC, we are committed to continuously elevating the standards of bespoke luxury. Early on, I realized that to ensure every pair met my uncompromising standards, I had to keep the brand at a size and scale where I could personally oversee and work on every single project we were privileged to receive.
Through my art, I hope to inspire others to never give up on their dreams. I want to show the next generation that with relentless drive and dedication, anything is possible. I never imagined my passion and obsession with sneakers would lead me to the career of my dreams, but here I am, living it every day. I am truly blessed to wake up each morning and do what I love.
The Marathon Continues.
