For 30 year old Salvador Amezcua, painting has become his source of income. But not just painting a canvas or walls, but painting shoes. In recent years, Amezcua, better known as Kickstradomis, has seen his art work on NBA stars shoes all over the country. NBA stars such as Karl Anthony-Towns and James Harden can frequently be seen wearing his custom 1 of 1 sneakers.
On his website, there is options to purchase a custom pair of shoes, send in your shoes for a custom design or order a custom pair of shoes with him supplying the shoes. Having all 3 of these options helps to give customers a easy decision on what they want to do. Kickstradomis has become very popular and seen a rise in his followers up to 327k on Instagram. He is being entrepreneurial because he is using his unique skill set to supply products to people in the market for custom sneakers. His work is very recognizable and a lot of people love it.

I have actually heard of him before! His designs are so cool and its awesome that he is doing something completely different from the major shoe companies.
I love this idea! I imagine it takes so much time to paint each shoe, let alone for a business! Very impressive and inspiring!
This guy is really cool! I think Salvador Amezcua teaches us to look closely at our hobbies and interests. Sometimes, there is a potential business opportunity hiding in plain sight.
This is a great example of someone using their special skill to create something that has never been seen before. Until this day and age you would never see people walking around with painted shoes. Nowadays people are always looking for that extra “flashiness” in their style and that definitely is a reason why his service is so successful.
