Northwestern University custom sneakers

Scarsdale High School Senior Zoe Frishberg is now creating custom made sneakers that make great gifts for everyone on your list. She started to paint the shoes as gifts when her friends were admitted to college during the school year. "My friends were really excited about getting into their dream schools and I wanted to give them something to celebrate", explained Zoe. They were thrilled to receive custom made sneakers adorned with their school's logos and colors. She quickly realized that the idea could extend beyond just college logos, however. Little kids love them too. When her 3 year old cousin, Maddie, visited her house and saw the colorful painted sneakers on Zoe's desk, she wanted a pair for herself. "She was fascinated by all the colors and designs on each shoe", she explained. Zoe created a personalized pair to include Maddie's name, her favorite hobby, ballet, and her love for NYC. She even painted a picture of Maddie's dog on the shoe (pictured below).

Zoe now paints shoes for kids, grads, and grown ups, with sizes ranging from infant to adult and would be happy to create a pair for you. "I really enjoy designing shoes that people will love" she explained. Your shoes can be adorned with college logos, sports teams, camp logos, emojis, symbols, favorite characters and any other personal attribute or interest all in your favorite colors. Local buyers can provide their own shoes or she can purchase them for you. Designs can be painted on any canvas shoe, like vans or converse. The shoes are a great present for graduation season. To order your pair, email shoesbyzoe@gmail.com and describe the shoes desired.
