This project was one I’ll always be proud of. Several years ago reached out and wanted to create a cool pair of shoes for and the internet lost it. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a piece of art for one of the most revered and untouchable figures in the world was mind blowing for me. Now fast forward a few years and we have the first American born Pope, and he’s a Southsider at that. FJ had a meeting at the Vatican this week and gifted him these 2 pairs to commemorate the visit.

The 2nd pair is a no brainer..the first American Pope from Chicago HAS to have a pair of
These feature a full White Sox/Southside vibe with the toe boxes telling the story of where Leo started his journey at St. Mary of the Assumption on Chicagos southside to Vatican City.
