ADRIANA GUTIERREZ & COMPANY
LOS ANGELES CA
2002 EST
How we first become interested in sneakers It would say 1987 that’s when my family really started to be able to afford name brand sneakers. Because
before that it was Pay-Les shoes Flo-rida sings about the Reeboks with the straps. Well I had the Pay-less with the straps. My first few name brand pairs
were British Knights - La Gear - Lotto’s & Diadora’s. I had every other brand but Nike. Not till 1991 did our home get its firs pair of Nikes they were
Jordan 6 with the air pocket and my brother Alex saved for months. After that we had a steady flow of sneakers since I started play sports so basketball
sneakers were mostly what I wore.
How did you get started with our business I’m an Artist/Interior Designer by trade 2002. I think that’s around the time when rappers started wearing
custom made Gucci & Burberry heavy airbrushed gear & then it moved to adding fabric to sneakers. My brother Guillermo was in high school and he
wanted to sport something total different. So the bright idea was his “ Why don’t you try to paint on some sneakers. So we did some searching on line for
the correct paint/dye that would work. Turns out that Angelus Shoe Polish Company was about 5 mins from my home gave them a ring and that’s how it
started. Our website is one of a few where you can purchase any of our customs designs or place an order.
Our style/technique & inspiration we are an Urban Art Fashion for the Hip-Hop Nation / Having art in my home growing up was limit to the last supper. Art
isn’t really the number one on most families list of priorities. Not till you hit high school do you really get a sampling of art supplies and art. My artstore for
many years was Sav-on/Rite Aid. So we find other ways to express ourselves fashion /personal style/graffit. That’s why airbrushing / jeweler shops are
very popular at swapmeets (the malls of the hood). Me painting on sneakers is just a progression
How are we unique as a company . Everything we do is hand painted. Starting with either black or white sneakers. We do very detailed curves over the
fronts of the sneakers. It hard to keep the image clean with out becoming distorted. We also do portraits & corporate products. And we aren’t scared of
any color red / yellow tend to be the hardest.The best about designing sneakers. We aren’t limited by opinions of what’s in season or a trend. And instead
of being in a gallery its walking art that can be enjoy by the masses. The responce to our work friends & customer get really excited when they meet us and
we can full fill a childhood fantasy of being a Nike designer. We offer the standard color change to match trends and fashion. But also welcome requests.
We take the sneaker game serious. Want a sneakers that match your logo, record label , rapper ,cartoon let us know your concept and your size we will
do the rest. We are hug Simpsons fans and we love painting them on shoes.
