ABOUT US

My name is Jonnie (Pronounced "Johnny"), the artist/owner behind Sneaker Forge Custom Kicks. Based in Monaca, Pennsylvania. In 2022 I was shot and wounded in the line of duty. This injury caused me to be unable to walk or use my leg for months. This is when I discovered the art and method of customizing cleats and sneakers.

 

The first thing I customized was a pair of football cleats for my son. Seeing the HUGE smile on his face after getting his special cleats was all I needed. What began as a personal project for my children, turned into a passion for turning footwear into one of a kind pieces of art.​

​

Balancing law enforcement and art, I bring the same focus, discipline, and attention to detail from investigations into every pair I create. Each project is built with pro-level materials and a deep respect for the story behind the athlete wearing them, whether it’s a youth player lacing up for their first big game or a seasoned competitor chasing their next milestone.

 

My goal is simple: make sure no one steps onto the field, court, or street in something ordinary and to see  that HUGE smile on their face when they receive their one-of one customs.
