"Swithadot Studio has so far shipped sneakers to over 80 countries. We have more than 300 'A-List' clients, including celebrities. LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dua Lipa, Jamie Foxx and Zendaya. All wear our sneakers and nearly all the well-known footballers in Europe, including Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Kovacic, etc. The list is extensive."

A customized project can take up to 150 hours to complete

"Generally, it takes between 50 and 80 hours, and sometimes even 120 or 150 hours, to complete one project, depending on how complicated and demanding the design is and the size of the sneakers which is the case with most of the sneakers that are mostly ordered by athletes, particularly basketball players, and need to be delivered quickly to their destinations."
