Everything You Can Put on Custom Graduation Shoes

Every detail below is included in the $299 base price. No hidden personalization fees. Just add it to your design request.

📛

Graduate's Name

First name, full name, nickname, or "Mrs. [new name]" — lettered in elegant script or bold block. On the heel, side panel, or toe box in any style.

Example: "Jordan" in gold script on the heel tab

🎓

Class of 2026

"Class of 2026" — painted on the midsole edge, sole, or as a feature element on the side panel. Anchors the pair to a specific milestone permanently.

Example: "Class of 2026" on the white midsole edge

🎨

School Colors

Your school's exact colors matched from a logo or reference image. Two-tone, tri-color, drip, and gradient all available. We match exactly, not approximately.

Example: Navy and gold two-tone split design

🦁

School Mascot

Tigers, bulldogs, eagles, bears — hand-painted mascots on the side panel. Upload a clear reference image and we recreate it by hand on genuine Nike leather.

Example: School eagle mascot on the side panel

#️⃣

Jersey Number

For senior athlete graduates — jersey number alongside name and school colors. The ultimate commemoration of an athletic career that ends at the graduation ceremony.

Example: "#23 · Senior 2026" with school colors

🎯

Degree or Quote

Major, degree, motto, or personal message lettered on the tongue, sole edge, or heel inner. The detail only the person wearing them will see — and always remember.

Example: "Pre-Med Class of 2026" on the inner tongue
