State Farm Arena hired me in 2024 to make a gift for Lil Baby’s birthday bash. I made this custom Air Force 1 with a Georgia peach in mind because he’s from Atlanta.

This was one of my favorite pairs to make.

The detail you see in hand

I used micro diorama crystals on the side of the shoe to create the look of peach fuzz. It’s hard to see in a photo, but in hand, that texture brings the peach idea to life.

The complete gift

A pair I wanted to keep

I wasn’t there when they gave him the shoes, and I was bummed about that. This was one of those pairs you don’t actually want to give away. Part of me would rather have kept the shoes and let them keep the money. But when you’re an artist, it doesn’t work like that.
