Once you place your order, you will be contacted by the Principle Designer of So Sick Kicks who will walk you through the design process. This involves conceptualizing your ideas and discussing color schemes, shoe styles, and design elements. You will then receive a draft sketch of your design; if you are unhappy with the design or would like to add/change design elements, we will work with you to arrive at the final design of you desire!
