THE FIRST OF ITS KIND

This unique competition celebrates emerging talent.

 

 

The competition is an opportunity for creators to showcase their sneaker design skills on the Curry 1 Low FloTro. Dedicated to celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and storytelling, it’s your chance to turn a blank sneaker into a one-of-a-kind work of art.

This challenge shines a spotlight on the power of design to inspire, innovate, and push the boundaries of sneaker culture. Whether you’re a first-time customizer or a seasoned creator, this is your opportunity to have your work seen by top industry leaders and a worldwide audience.

A ONE OF A KIND COMPETITION TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THE CREATORS IN THE SHADOWS, THOSE UNDERGROUND, UNDERSERVED AND UNTIL NOW – UNDERRATED.

MEET THE TOP 100 CREATORS

Explore their work, celebrate their talent, and see the diversity of voices and ideas that make this group truly exceptional. This is where creativity meets recognition – and the world gets to meet the next generation of sneaker icons.
