I've spent years learning from the best in the industry and taking courses recently to perfect my craft. I wanted to offer the same opportunity to my members but online so they could work at their own pace. Being an artist requires patience and I fully understand that which is why you can access the course as many times as you'd like!

"This is my second attempt at making a pair of sneakers from scratch, what an awesome experience it was."

Meet the artist


I started reconstructing shoes because a client basically told me to haha I was painting sneakers part time and my clients loved me so much they wanted me to meet all of their custom needs so I built a pair that took about 4 weeks and my business took off FAST! I started buying materials and reconstructing shoes full time. Now I've taken Lacin Kicks LLC to a million-dollar business painting and reconstructing footwear. Stay hungry and remember, you aren't here to impress, you're here to be a better YOU!
