Baltimore, MD · Est. 2020The craft
Every pair that leaves the CBC studio starts as a blank canvas and ends as something nobody else on the block is wearing. Based in Baltimore, MD, Crafted By Chris has spent over five years hand-painting custom sneakers — from Eagles fans in Philly to Orioles diehards right here in Bmore. Each design is hand-detailed, one shoe at a time, with no stencils, no shortcuts. Whether it’s your team’s colors, a custom colorway, or a one-of-one commission, CBC delivers wearable art shipped nationwide through Etsy.
From the classic white-on-white Air Force 1 base to full-color team tributes dripping in detail, every pair goes through Chris’s hands — primed, painted, sealed, and quality-checked before it ships. The DMV has been showing love for five-plus years and customers nationwide keep coming back. Not because it’s fast. Because it’s right.
