The artist behind the kicks
Moore Than Kicks
Every pair tells a story. I make sure it's yours.
How it started
My name is Sam Moore, and this is my sneaker journey. It started with a simple idea: make shoes that nobody else has. I’ve always been into sneakers, art, and creating things, so I decided to combine them. I started experimenting with custom shoes, learning how to paint, design, and add my own details. At first, I was just making shoes for fun. Then I realized I could turn it into something bigger — a brand where every pair tells a story and every customer gets something unique. I’m still learning, still improving, and still building. But this is just the beginning. From a blank shoe to a one-of-one pair.
How I work
Prep
Every shoe gets cleaned, sanded, and prepped before a single drop of paint touches it. No shortcuts.
Sketch & plan
I map out the design — colors, composition, flow — before committing to canvas. Your vision guides every decision.
Paint
Multiple layers of flexible leather paint, built up slowly for depth and durability. This isn't a one-coat job.
Seal & finish
A professional-grade finisher locks everything in — matte, satin, or gloss, your call. Built to be worn, not just displayed.
