The Kickmas festive card designs put together by Vancouver creative Lauren Coutts celebrate the holidays with a sneaker-specific set of designs tailored to those that collect footwear. The cards feature creative puns and designs surrounding sneakers that are ideal for collectors and sportswear fans to enjoy this holiday season.
Sneaker heads are consumers that collect athletic footwear almost religiously, making Coutts' designs perfectly seasonally tailored to these individuals. The cards feature hand drawn colorful illustrations of iconic shoes released this year and throughout the decades such as the Yeezy boot, Chuck Taylor Converse and a slew of Nike models. The greeting cards also feature comical sneaker-themed puns such as "O Come All Yeezy Faithful" for an added element of humor.
