Creating Kyrie Irving’s Next Custom Sneaker: Bandulu

Pat 'Bandulu' Peltier made a name for himself by transforming vintage clothing and sportswear into unique, one of a kind garments with hand-sewn paint splatters - a trademark of his style. His work has caught the attention of celebrities and athletes alike, with clients including Drake, Serena Williams, 2 Chainz and more. Following sneaker collaborations with Converse and the Boston Celtics, Bandulu received his biggest collaboration to date - creating a sneaker with Nike and NBA player Kyrie Irving for his 5 series shoe.
