Native American Beadwork and Popular Shoes Collide

 

Owner of Spotted-Elk Collective, Katy Isennock and Johnson Taylor have specialized in adding beadwork to popular shoes such as Converse Chuck Taylors. The beadwork on each Pair of shoes sold is custom to the customers preference and the owners strive to make each shoe one of a kind. The owners of Spotted-Elk Collective are from the Plains Tribes of the Mid-West and collaborate and work together on color combinations and designs. The shoes are gaining popularity throughout the world and there is a significant wait for a custom shoe.

 

Essentially, the shoes are a wearable art and reflect an individual's preference of colors as well as the artists’ own touch. Shoes have been made to match the colors of sports teams, school colors, tribal colors or just colors customers really love.

 

Smokin Joes Trading Post will soon be home to The Spotted-Elk Collective custom beaded shoes. 2293 Saunders Settlement Road Sanborn, NY 14132 will be the only place that will have pre-made shoes on sight!
