These paintings are done by the two man creative team called Stocks and Bonds to show their love of sneakers to the world! The name Stocks and Bonds comes from the concept that the sneaker game is like the stock market in these days of anticpation, hype and constant release of new products. Their paintings will be available in selected sneaker boutiques in North America and eventually the world. They will be releasing more paintings in the future as well as a t-shirt line called Infancy.
