Hand-Painted Tribute Sneakers

MR. BRAINWASH Honors the Late DJ AM With a Range of Sneakers

Streetwear and sneaker retail label Project Blitz joins forces with MR. BRAINWASH for a charity auction in honor of the late and great DJ AM. The French artist paints a range of popular footwear silhouettes including the Supreme and Air Jordan 5 collaboration, the Virgil Abloh and Nike Air Vapormax collaboration, and more. The models boast paint splatters throughout its design, along with the same design adorning its respective sneaker boxes to amplify the artist's artistic touches.

Notably, all of the profits from the charity auction will go directly towards the MS FOCUS nonprofit organization -- it is dedicated to helping those with multiple sclerosis and their families. The live auction takes place online at Project Blitz's website.
