What’s your dream sneaker
project? Or your dream project
in general that you haven’t
had a chance to do yet?
It's been several years working
every day with sneakers, which is
why I'm starting to dream of other
things and projects that move away
from sneakers. I mean, I love all of
this but my creative spirit needs
something fresh and new
sometimes. I'm starting to work
with motorbike boots and it's quite
interesting, because the process is
very different. I have also been
thinking for some time about
including some type of 3D printing
technology to be able to create
something that 'plays' with the
masks, new pieces. But my time to
innovate is very limited lately...
We'll see what happens in the
future!!
Is there a preferred sneaker to work with specifically?
Yes, the Nike Tn, apart from all its iconographic load within the fetish world,
are the sneakers with which I started all this, I even have them tattooed on
my skin. These sneakers are the symbol of an entire generation of sports
fetish enthusiasts. They have always been associated with a prototype of
masculinity and attitude. These archetypes even have some variations
depending on the geographical area, it is very interesting, they have always
been and will be an icon. It is incredible that a shoe that is 30 years old
remains so fresh and attractive. With this model I started my path in sneaker
masks, I still have them with me. Over time, I have been improving the
models and adding elements such as steel rings or spikes, I think they are
some of my most recognisable pieces. Models like the Air Max 90 or the
Jeremy Scott x AdIdas winged sneakers are also some of my favourite to
work with.
