Every pair of Mad Alice custom kicks is finished using Angelus paints and
professional-grade finisher — the gold standard in custom sneaker artistry. Here’s what that means for you:

• Flexible finish — moves with the shoe, so it won’t crack or peel
• Waterproof — the design itself is waterproof, plus we apply an additional waterproof sealer on every pair
• ️ Crack-proof and tough — built to handle real life
• Soft to touch — feels just like the original leather
• ☀️ UV and scratch resistant — for printed designs, our ink is rated for up to 7 years outdoors
And because we back ourselves completely, every pair comes with a 12-month warranty on all custom work.

Real World Proof — The Tradie Test

We love a good story, and this one is one of our favourites.

Back in December 2020, a customer ordered a pair of custom monogram Air Force 1s. 
Nothing unusual there.  What made this pair special?  He was a tradie — and he wore
them every single day on the job for almost 3 years.

Three years. Daily. On a worksite.

When he finally sent us photos in July 2023, the paint was still going strong. The shoes themselves had worn out from use — but the artwork? Completely intact.

He liked them so much, he came back and ordered a second pair.

“The paint has lasted the life of the shoes.”
