Known as “truck art,” the colorful murals atop Pakistani lorries portray South Asian animals, celebrities, and religious figures from various religions.
Ali, a seasoned truck artist, has now reimagined the artwork as footwear. According to him, he received a request to paint shoes from a client in the United States. To discourage him, I offered an absurd price, but he accepted, so I went ahead and did it.
After spending up to four days making each pair, he charges select clients $400 for a bespoke pair of shoes.
Eight pairs of painted trainers have been shipped out since he began painting them in January, with new orders arriving every four days following a spike in interest on the social media platform.
