DESCRIPTION

The Wear Dem’ Shoes Tee is a call-in, a reminder to stop saving your life, or your shoes, for later.

This community-born design started with JP, one of the earliest voices inside our Cozy Rebellion. He dropped the line that lit the spark:

“Shoes are meant to be worn, not displayed as untouchable fashion pieces…” — JP

From that truth came a wearable moment.

We built a new high-top silhouette with cracked red texture, chalk-drip movement, bold black detailing, and the unfiltered grit of lived experience. The lesson? Stop shelving your story. Put it on. Live it. Wear dem’ shoes.

Standard Edition – $34 (Matte Graphic)

Clean, bold, everyday wearable. Smooth matte print that highlights the cracked red texture, graffiti linework, and chalk-drip movement. Perfect for daily rotation.

Glitter Edition – $39 (Red Accent Sparkle)

A limited-run upgrade with glitter-enhanced red sections on the sneaker for added shine and dimension. Same message, louder energy. Designed for those who like a little sparkle in their rebellion.

✔ Soft-Wash Comfort: Pre-laundered cotton for a lived-in feel that softens with time.
✔ Freedom to Move: Lightweight, breathable jersey with a modern unisex drape.
✔ Statement Energy: Street-art inspired graphic with a smooth matte finish.
✔ Everyday Confidence: Clean structure, cozy fit, and a message you can wear into any room.

Each piece is hand-finished in-house. Subtle variations are part of the intentional process — the art and science of making meaning you can wear.
