These Linkin Park shoes are a white Nike Air Force 1 Low, hand-painted in our Mumbai studio with Angelus leather paint. One shoe carries Chester Bennington's era of the band, and the other carries Emily Armstrong's. The pair costs ₹16,499, comes in UK 3 to UK 12, ships within 7–10 days of your order, and delivery anywhere in India is free.
What is painted on the Linkin Park shoes?
The outer side of each shoe is painted for one singer, and the inner sides stay almost white so the pair still reads as an Air Force 1.
| Part of the shoe | What is painted |
|---|---|
| Chester shoe, outer side | A teal swoosh filled with red cracked flames, "Chester" next to a red heart, and the song titles Numb, Crawling and Castle of Glass, with Meteora lettered across thin crack lines |
| Emily shoe, outer side | A red swoosh, "Emily" in script, the titles Papercut, Two Faced and Heavy Is the Crown, and a hand-lettered line from a song |
| Heels | "Chester" with a heart on one heel and "Emily" on the other, each next to the band's circle mark |
| Inner sides | White, with the original black swoosh and a small circle mark near the heel |
| Toe box and laces | Left white |
Every letter is painted freehand, so the lettering and crack lines shift slightly from pair to pair. No two pairs come out identical.
Why is one shoe for Chester and the other for Emily?
The pair puts both voices of Linkin Park on your feet instead of choosing one. Chester Bennington sang on the albums most fans grew up with, and he died in 2017. In 2024 the band returned with Emily Armstrong as co-vocalist and a new album, From Zero. Chester's shoe is built around songs he made famous, like Numb and Crawling. Emily's shoe mixes songs from the comeback, like Heavy Is the Crown and Two Faced, with older favourites like Papercut.
Nobody commissioned this one. We designed it ourselves, for fans of both eras of the band.
How is a pair like this painted?
Each pair starts as a new white Air Force 1 and is painted by hand in our Mumbai studio. Nothing is printed and no stickers are used.
- The factory finish is removed from the leather so the paint can grip it.
- The swooshes are painted in solid colour, then the crack and flame detail is added on top with fine brushes.
- Names and song titles are lettered by hand.
- The finished pair is sealed so it can be worn every day.
This pair takes 10 to 20 hours of painting.
