Collaborating with Keds

I grew up wearing (and painting on) sneakers. So when Keds (which is my all-time favorite sneaker brand, no kidding, folks.) invited me to collaborate  with them last year, it was a no-questions-asked yes. This summer,  I collaborated with them again. And to make it extra exciting this time, it is for a cause!

This Saturday (June 2), pairs of Keds painted by me and the illustrious Soleil Ignacio,  will be auctioned in the Keds and Status Magazine’s Earthly Delights event. All proceeds will go to the Haribon Foundation.

I painted the pair of Keds Champion White a subtle shade of green.

Planted trees on the Keds. Secret tool? Ballpoint pen.

I always loved drawing leaves :)

Now I painted some highlights on the trees!

Always spray some acrylic fixative or spread some emulsion on your painted Keds so the design would last!

The very cause of the auction inspired my design. Growing trees on a pair of Keds for an organization that help the Philippine trees flourish.

It will be 7 hours of fun, food, drinks and of course, music. I hear we can get bars of Magnum for free, throughout the event. So I really hope to bump into all of you on Skye Lounge on Saturday!
