ABOUT THE CREATOR

Ronald Moore’s journey into custom sneaker design wasn’t just about art—it was about survival. Raised on the east side of Chicago, Moore always had a passion for creativity, but it wasn’t until his life was turned upside down that he realized how powerful that passion could be. At just 16 years old, he and his mother suffered back-to-back home invasions within three months, leaving them with nothing. Faced with uncertainty, Moore found an unexpected path forward—customizing sneakers.

It started with a video. Watching an artist transform an ordinary pair of shoes sparked something inside him. “I can do this,” he thought. Drawing had been second nature to him since fifth grade, and the idea of bringing his art to life on sneakers felt right. He picked up a brush, determined to turn his skills into something real. The early days were rough—shoes were ruined, techniques failed, and frustration was constant. But quitting wasn’t an option.

Through trial and error, Moore mastered his craft. What started as a hustle to help his mother and himself get back on their feet evolved into something bigger than he ever imagined. His brand, Redcreativekicks, has since sold hundreds of custom sneakers worldwide and amassed a loyal following of over 40,000 supporters. His designs push the boundaries of sneaker art, blending storytelling, culture, and individuality into every pair.

But for Moore, it’s not just about selling shoes—it’s about inspiring others. His journey is proof that success isn’t about where you start but how you push through. He wants aspiring artists and entrepreneurs to know that setbacks don’t define you—your drive does.

Red Creative Kicks is just getting started, and Moore invites sneaker lovers and art enthusiasts to be part of the movement. Explore his custom creations on Instagram and witness firsthand how passion and perseverance can turn a dream into reality.
