Nike must really be enjoying their sneaker icon status, what with painters now centering artwork around their shoes. Oil painter Joe DeLorenzo may be the new kid on the block in terms of sneaker art, but he’s certainly caught our attention. A Philadelphia-based artist, he takes a more realistic approach to the kicks, making his paintings closer to fine sneaker art (is there such a thing? maybe there is now…) than street art.
