Space Shoes


I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll no longer be making space shoes (apart from the orders to which I've already committed). My reasons for this are varied, but the main themes are that I don't really find joy in painting them any more - I feel kind of like a machine, and I really have to concentrate on studying, as I'm in my final year of high school and have set my goals pretty high. Thank you to everyone who has liked the shoes, bought a pair or generally supported me in any way. It means a lot to me, and I've gotten further than I ever thought it would. I will still be selling other things from time to time over at my etsy shop, and probably more space shoes in specific sizes, until I clear out all my stock.
For those still chasing a pair, you can buy similar ones here, from kustom kix.

A small note from the maker:
We’ve had this idea of trying to do a Nebula on a pair of shoes for a long time, and it ended up to be great success. The Universe never ceases to amaze me, if one really wants to appreciate and believe in the power and glory of God crystal clear, all you have to do is lean back and look up at the stars... By painting the Nebula I understood better the infinite power of God because even after mixing up all the right colors, I still didn’t manage to end up with that perfect Nebula shade. This would be as close a shoe gets to heaven. ... There are not many shoes with such Nebulae/Galaxy/Universe/Space prints on them and I would like to present Kustom Kix as one of the first to have Nebula customs for sale.” (Source)
