To be a part of it, all you have to do is create a profile page.

Here’s mine:

When your profile page is set up you’ll be able to share your designs in Shoe Racks, and place the sneakers that you love in Wish Racks.

On our shop page, you can view the community-kreated sneakers. They are displayed alongside their creator’s usernames so you can easily recognise and follow your favourite artists.

If you wish to design your own, you’ll start out with blank canvas sneakers. For now we are launching “The Sputnik”, and there are plenty more models in the works. Each season, you will be able to determine which items are added to the ever-expanding KRAFTKA Collection.

There are no limits to what you can put on your shoes: photos, illustrations, poems- ANYTHING! Your design and revision options are limitless, and you can post or remove your shoes whenever you like.

Use your drawings or illustrations…this example is by Archan Nair.

Or use your photos…

Or just text!

Your sneakers are published right away. You own your designs, and earn USD 10 per pair sold!

In the beginning, you can publish two pairs of sneakers to your Shoe Rack (buy our UPGRADE perk to publish FOUR). By selling sneakers and interacting with other users, you unlock new features and capabilities. Eventually, earning the privilege to publish as many shoes as you like and to set your own price.

The more active you are, the more your profile will grow organically with your community. Level up to enjoy your very own store! YourName.kraftka.com.

To be truly for the people, by the people, trust is very important. This is why we’ve created a robust, real time money management system to keep track of your sales. Here, you can see features such as the location of your buyers and your total sales.

Our online platform is nearing completion and our final sneaker prototype is waiting production. We’ve been funding our KRAFTKA dream with our personal savings, and with the help of family and friends. Now, we need your support and the support of the global community.

Our budget of $15,000 will be used to fund the minimum order amount to manufacture our first collection of Sputnik sneakers.

Please support us by pre-ordering your sneakers. We invite you to be a part of this global movement that will change the face of fashion forever!

• Join the public beta and start creating sneakers now!

• Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

• Tell all of your friends who’d like to get their own pair of one-of-a-kind sneakers.

We are currently in the alpha phase of the Kraftka platform, with the Beta phase planned for launch in March 2016. The platform is being refined every day with our experienced development team. Our biggest risk factor would be delays from the manufacturing side of the equation. This is however, minimised, as we have gone through over 7 months of retooling and sampling with our factory.
