The Lion King film is one of Disney's most popular classics, and Etsy designer 'KillerKicks23' has found a way to fuse the iconic film with footwear. These Simba TOMS have been customized to feature iconic images from the hit children's film.
One of the most famous moments in the Lion King movie is when the old baboon Rafiki paints a picture of little Simba on the inside of a tree. Accompanied with the iconic slogan, "Remember who you are," this Disney moment symbolizes a moment of strength and pride. Designer KillerKicks23 has done an amazing job at hand painting that same drawing of Simba onto a pair of white TOM sneakers. Painted in an incredibly realistic style with amazing detail, Simba's little lion cub body forefronts a fading blue background. The famous quote is also elegantly painted in red cursive on the side.
