The House Canvas
Custom Hand Painted Air Force 1
Every pair below is a Nike Air Force 1, painted freehand by one of our artists for one owner. No stencils, no transfers, no prints. A commission is a flat Rs 45,000, the shoe included, and takes ten to fourteen working days.
Finished custom Air Force 1 commissions
How a Commission Works
01
Bring a direction
A piece from the gallery you want yours to be related to, a photograph you saved, or a story only you can tell. Our artists work from any of the three.
02
We paint it once
Freehand, on a brand-new Air Force 1 in your size, which is included in the price. Sealed and waterproofed afterwards so it survives being worn.
03
It goes out tracked
Ten to fourteen working days, tracked to your door across Pakistan and arranged personally for anywhere else.
Why Yours Cannot Be Repeated
A print can be run again. A brushstroke cannot. Two pairs painted from the same reference, by the same artist, in the same week, are not the same object: the linework falls differently, the weight of the hand changes, and the pair you are sent exists once. That is true of every commission this studio takes, at every price.
It is also why we will not sell you an identical copy of a piece in the gallery. Bring one as a direction and your artist paints your version of it, related in spirit and yours alone.
Why the Air Force 1
The panels are large, flat and leather, the silhouette has not changed in decades, and the white colourway is as close to a primed canvas as a mass-produced shoe gets. There is a longer answer, written properly, in why the Air Force 1 is the best canvas Nike ever made.
It is not the only thing we paint. Ship us a clean pair you already own and our artists paint that instead, or commission a Bespoke piece where the studio makes the leather shoe by hand before anybody picks up a brush.
Before You Commission
How much does a custom pair cost?
A Signature commission is a flat Rs 45,000: a brand-new Nike Air Force 1, the artwork, sealing and tracked delivery, whether the design comes from our gallery or from a reference you bring. A Bespoke commission, where the studio makes the leather shoe as well as painting it, starts at Rs 60,000 with a final quote once we've seen your brief. The shoe, the leather, the coverage and the detail are what move that number. Painting a pair you ship us is less, since you already own the canvas.
How long does a commission take?
Most pairs are painted and sealed within 10–14 working days of your pair being secured, depending on complexity. In a hurry? A priority commission is finished in 5–7 working days for 15 per cent of the order total on top. Need a date guaranteed, a wedding, a birthday? Tell us the deadline and we will plan around it.
Is it really hand-painted, or printed?
Hand-painted, every line. No stencils, no transfers, no printing. That is the entire point of the studio, and it's why a pair takes days rather than minutes.
Will the paint crack when the shoe creases?
Not under normal wear. The artwork is layered into prepared leather and finished with flexible sealant coats that bend with the shoe: creasing is designed for. The failures we ever see come from machine washes and soaking, not walking.
Can I wear custom painted shoes every day?
They're made for streets, not shelves: that's the whole point of sealing. Rotate them like any good pair, keep them out of the washing machine, and wear the story out loud.
What sizes do custom Air Force 1s come in?
Whatever the shelf currently holds: the size menus across the site show only sizes we physically have as blanks, men's and women's. If your size is missing, a pair in a remaining size makes the most personal gift there is.
Do Nike Air Force 1s run big or small?
Most people wear their usual trainer size. Between two sizes, take the larger: a slightly roomy pair works with thicker socks; a tight one can't be fixed. The size guide has the full measuring method.
Where can I get custom Air Force 1s in Pakistan?
Here. Painted Juttay is a Pakistani atelier that hand-paints one-of-a-kind custom Nike Air Force 1s: no prints, no stencils, no repeats. Start from a design in our gallery or from a story of your own on the Create Your Pair page.
Do you paint Jordans, Vans, Converse or other shoes?
Three ways in. Our house canvas is the Nike Air Force 1. Through the "my own pair" route you can ship us a clean pair you already own (we confirm the model with you on WhatsApp first) and our artists paint that instead, for a flat painting-only price. And on a Bespoke commission we make the shoe ourselves, in leather, to whatever shape you name.
Why do custom sneakers cost more than the shoe itself?
Because the shoe is the cheapest part. You're commissioning an artist's hands for days (composition, freehand painting, layered curing, sealing) on a piece that will exist exactly once. The pair is the canvas; the art is what you're buying.
