ColtreKicks

Weekend energy sponsored by good tequila and better sneakers. 🥃👟

One week until the world locks in. 🇺🇸🌎⚽️
Red, white, blue, fireworks, and pressure.

Custom USA-inspired forces for the people screaming at TVs like they’re on the roster. 😂

The World Cup always feels bigger than sports.
It’s culture. Pride. Energy.

Let’s make a run. 🇺🇸

June is Men’s Mental Health Month.

It’s easy to celebrate the wins. The successful projects. The events. The partnerships. The highlights.

What’s harder to talk about is what happens behind the scenes.

From late 2024 into the middle of 2025, I dealt with periods of depression following surgery. A lot of it came from uncertainty.

Questions about my health.
Questions about my future.
Questions about ColtreKicks.
Questions I didn’t always have answers to.

Some days were great. Some days weren’t.

What I’ve learned is that mental health isn’t always about being “strong.” Sometimes it’s about being honest. Asking for help. Leaning on people who care about you. Giving yourself grace while you work through things.

Today, I’m grateful to say I’m in the best mental shape I’ve been in for a long time.

I have an amazing family.
Great friends.
A growing business.
And a deeper appreciation for the things that truly matter.

If you’re going through something right now, know that progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just getting through today and showing up again tomorrow.

Keep going.

Happy Men’s Mental Health Month. 💙

Today is a special day.

It’s my mom’s birthday. 🎂❤️

The woman who encouraged me to chase crazy ideas, supported me through the ups and downs, and helped shape the person behind ColtreKicks.

So to celebrate her today, I’m doing something special.

What if team building didn’t feel like… team building?

Imagine your group walking into a room filled with sneakers, paint, music, creativity, and zero awkward icebreakers.

That’s something we’re building at ColtreKicks. ⚡

Custom sneaker painting experiences.
Creative workshops.
Live art sessions.
Brand activations.
Interactive events where people actually leave with something memorable.

Whether it’s a corporate team, community organization, private event, school, athlete camp, or brand launch, we’re turning creativity into connection.

Because sometimes the best conversations happen when people are creating side by side instead of sitting around a conference table.

Not everyone needs a custom sneaker.

But everyone knows someone who loves great style, sneaker culture, creativity, or a gift that actually means something.

That’s why I built BigShoeEnergy.com ⚡

This is the support lane. The lifestyle lane.

You’ll find limited apparel, sneaker care kits, creative sets, gift cards, and pieces designed for people who want to be part of the journey without needing a custom pair on their doorstep.

Whether you’re grabbing a gift, supporting independent creativity, or just adding a little more Big Shoe Energy to your day... every order helps fuel what we’re building.

Because supporting a dream doesn’t always look like buying the biggest thing in the room.

Home isn’t always a place. Sometimes it’s colors, memories, and a skyline you’d recognize anywhere.

Custom St. Louis inspired Jordans 🇺🇸⚜️

Pulled from the city flag, finished with speckled red details, and stamped with a little piece of the skyline on the heel. A reminder that no matter where you go, you carry where you came from.

Built for the ones who rep the Lou loud.

What city would you put on a pair? 👟

Some Sundays are for relaxing. This one is for showing up. 🔥

Sneakers. Stogies. Sushi. Sundresses. Good music, good people, and a room full of energy.

Proud to be part of the Sensational Sunday Party and support an event bringing together style, culture, conversation, and community here in St. Louis.

Pull out the pair you’ve been waiting to wear. Step out. Connect. Create memories.

Some shoes are made to stand out. Others are made to stand for something.

About a month ago, I had the opportunity to create this custom pair for Guardian Angel Settlement Association. Not as merchandise. Not for hype. As an honorary mascot and a reminder of the values they walk with every day.

“Path to possible.”
“You’re never walking alone.”
“Protected in every step.”
“Carried when you can’t stand.”

Every word placed on these shoes has purpose. Every step represents service, support, and showing up for people when they need it most.

That’s one of my favorite parts about creating customs. Shoes can become more than wearable art. Sometimes they become symbols. Sometimes they carry stories.

Grateful for organizations like Guardian Angel Settlement Association and honored to bring their mission to life one step at a time. 👟🪽
