Dominic is an incredible creative, that specializes in sneaker customization, sneaker design, and shoemaking. His passion for shoes has led him to work with elite clientele and world-renowned brands, making him a pioneer and leader in the sneaker industry.
John and Jordan break down Dominic's origins from “bootlegger” to “cobbler,” then “designer” and “sneaker customizer”, to finally – “artist” who's designs have sold for up to $100,000. Dominic talks about the passion he had not just for sneakers but for shoe construction, and how he scoured the earth for knowledge and guidance on the craft of shoe design.
