Obama Fiesso Dress ShoesBy SneakerFreak on January 13th, 2009 | No Comments
SweatShop Clothing dropped a pair of Italian dress shoes by Fiesso recently that will appeal to the well-heeled supporters of President-elect Barack Obama. The Obama Fiessos were created by SweatShop’s designer in a matter of days with the help of his trusty airbrush and a few paint brushes. You can check out additional information and other customs by SweatShop Clothing at
www.sweatshopclothing.net. The toe area of the Obama Fiessos fade from blue to white by the time your eye reaches the middle of the foot. On the left shoe, SweatShop Clothing painted the Obama 2008 logo with rich red and blue paint. The right shoe is a portrait of the President-elect shaded with red, white and blue to show his commitment to America. SweatShop engraved Obama’s signature on the heel and painted the heel strip red to leave a good impression as the wearer walks away.
In order to acquire this level of customization, the client paid $150 for the paint job alone and supplied the Fiessos. SweatShop Clothing did not disappoint and created a pair of dress shoes that celebrate the incoming president.
