"Job GT 1:2 1's" was inspired by my personal favorite Bible verse & my favorite car design, the 2019 Ford Mustang GT. Honestly, after looking at all the exotic material in class, the colorway just spoke to me! The burnt/rusted Orange colorway attracted me most. Then the color change (if the sun touched it) from a Cream White to a UNC Blue, just yelled at me "make me into a sneaker now"!  I basically got a 2 for 1 (2 sneakers in 1 shoe) and it also aligns with my favorite Bible Verse (Job 1:2-1). "No matter what the sun will shine, I will make it through, keep my faith & be better than I was before".  SDCF is the best thing I've ever experienced and I cannot wait to go back! The creative space sparked a light in me that has been dim for several years & I am truly grateful for the SDCF Team! I cannot wait to help the future SDCF Alumni!

"What The Travis" was inspired by the Iconic Dunk shoe that had all different color variants throughout.  For anyone who's looking to expand their artistry & shoe-making career, I highly recommend Rey & the SDCF Team 100%!! Overall, the class was great. Rey was such a great instructor and was very thorough. I had several questions for Rey & the Instructors, and he helped me work on speed, which made me feel like I was actually learning each process, step by step. I felt very confident in going home, and creating my own shoe.  I will definitely be taking another class for a different silhouette in the future! Thanks SDCF!

"Level Up" AJ 4's The inspiration for this shoe was trying to find ways to be different. At the core of every custom created shoe is the desire to have something that's unique. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the class, and have continued to tell others about the experience. The environment and staff truly foster a place where, no matter your level, you can excel at meeting your goal. Someone who hasn't even taken the class yet said it best. They said "I think SD Custom Footwear (Rey Marquez) is a man of the people". Rey truly sets his knowledge and experience, and makes you feel like he's along the journey with you, but has all the answers already.
