From Concept to Creation: How It Works

At Joe Allan, we turn your vision into reality by crafting custom, one-of-a-kind sneakers from start to finish. Once we've discussed the silhouette, design elements, and materials, we move into the build phase. Alternatively, you can explore our GALLERY OF NOTABLE BUILDS, where we can recreate these designs or customize them to fit your needs—please note this option is not available for one-of-one pieces, limited builds, or where materials have sold out.

Step 1: Design Session
We start by collaborating closely with you to finalize the design. Whether online or in person, we'll discuss the style, materials, and details to draft a concept.

Step 2: Crafting Your Custom Sneakers
Once we’ve finalized the design, production usually takes between 1 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity and the availability of materials. The process begins with cutting the selected materials, followed by assembling and stitching the pieces. Next, we shape the upper by lasting it on a shoe form, and finally, we attach the outsoles and apply the finishing touches.

Step 3: Completion & Delivery
After completing your custom sneakers, we carefully inspect them for quality and craftsmanship. We then package them securely for shipment or offer local pickup.

Pricing Transparency
Each custom sneaker project varies in price based on the complexity of the design, materials used, and customizations. Our starting price typically begins at $650, depending on the level of customization and materials involved.

Let’s work together.
