Story
Early 2015, Ward was a happy client of Carlo. Inspired by the creative possibilities of the shoes Carlo sold, Ward coined the idea of applying artistic designs on shoes. Carlo was instantly enthusiastic and soon they developed their first art shoes. Putting colourful art on the street and smiles on faces. Early 2017, Ward and Carlo took the concept of the art shoes from a small scale production to the next level with collections in stock and sales through multiple channels as Art Shoe Mafia.
