Skechers president Michael Greenberg said James Goldcrown’s message of love and positivity is exactly what the world needs right now, and bringing his uplifting designs to the brand is something that they know Skechers fans everywhere will appreciate.
Goldcrown said that Skechers gave him a lot of creative freedom when they were developing the footwear and apparel collection featuring the signature hearts from his Love Walls.
“We started on canvas originally, and then digitized the art to move it around the shoe for the perfect look. I think it’s a great time for this collaboration with everything that is going on in the world. Something as simple as a heart can really touch people—so hopefully we will spread some love,” Goldcrown said.
Born in West London, James Goldcrown is a self-taught muralist, artist and photographer now based in New York and Los Angeles.
Goldcrown broke into the fashion photography world at age 17 and seven years later found himself in Africa filming the documentary 'To Die No More' about the AIDS/HIV epidemic.
He eventually found new inspiration from his street art roots and the internationally recognized Love Wall premiered at Miami Basel in 2015. His instagrammable murals have achieved cult status with 50K+ #Lovewall public hashtags.
Goldcrown works with brands in the lifestyle, restaurant, beauty and fashion industries with his iconic design appearing in cities around the world.
