In partnership with New Balance, Sneaker Freaker’s ‘One Step Ahead’ series explores the journeys of five creatives who have blazed their own trails within the sneaker industry.
The sneaker customising scene has come a long way from fat laces and airbrushed high-tops. At the forefront of the new movement is Dominic Chambrone – the Shoe Surgeon – a master craftsman with a refined mindset. Blurring the lines between street and high fashion, Dom creates beautiful works of art using luxury materials and traditional shoemaking techniques. We caught up in his studio as he juggled project deadlines while everyone else enjoyed the final days of summer. Discussing the early days of his career, we also delved into what he thinks is necessary for creatives to be successful in the digital age.
