FROM IDEA TO FINISHED PAIR
Know what happens next.
Share your starting point
Tell us who the pair is for, what matters to you and any deadline. A rough idea is enough.
Agree on the project

Bring the artwork to life
Jokers Soles shapes the design direction. Grant at Mellonz Sneakerz paints the agreed artwork by hand.
The inquiry is a conversation starter. It does not place an order or collect payment.
CURIOUS? HERE’S HOW IT WORKS.
A conversation comes first.
How do I start a custom sneaker project?
Share your idea, colors or references, preferred shoe and any deadline. Jokers Soles develops the concept with you; Grant at Mellonz Sneakerz paints the agreed artwork by hand. We confirm the design, shoe, price and timing before work begins.
How much do custom sneakers cost?
There isn’t one price for every pair. The base shoe, any sourcing and artwork complexity affect the quote. Share a budget in your inquiry so we can discuss what is feasible. We agree on the total and payment terms before work begins.
Can I bring my own shoes?
Yes—share the exact model, size and condition so we can review the materials and suitability. We can also discuss sourcing a base pair.
Can you make a pair for a gift or a specific date?
Tell us the occasion and needed-by date when you inquire. Availability and turnaround are confirmed individually before acceptance. Please wait for confirmation before counting on a deadline.
Where is Jokers Soles based?
We’re based in Prior Lake, Minnesota, serving the Twin Cities and customers nationwide. We’re an online and service-area business without a walk-in storefront. Contact us to discuss arrangements for your project.
Can custom footwear be used for sports?
Tell us the exact shoe and intended use. Materials and suitability need review, along with any relevant team or event requirements. Custom painting does not promise improved athletic performance.
JUST AN IDEA IS ENOUGH.
What would you put
on your pair?
A sentence, a color, a memory. Send us your starting point and we’ll talk it through.
