Gerard Carter Center: Nike Customs

Artist Shawn McArthur led a four-week sneaker design workshop for Projectivity at the Carter Center in NYCHA Stapleton Houses, in collaboration with the 127 Penn NYPD Community Center.

“The Staten Island YSD team partnered with the organization Projectivity to create some #sneaker #art! Tapping into their love of the sneaker #culture, art, and #design, each child that will be participating in the program will design their own #Nike brand Air Force One sneaker! Over the course of four weeks, they are learning how to apply their design step by step, and the finished product will be a display of their own creativity and style. The primary focus of the sneaker designs is based on the kids’ love of shoes, self expression, and community policing. Thank you to the NYCPBA for the generous donation of sneakers 👟” – Youth Strategies Division of the 127 Penn NYPD Community Center (via Instagram)
