Chris Murphy, born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, on the Gila River Indian Community, draws inspiration from his father, a multifaceted artist and mechanic. His artistic journey began in 2015 as a self-taught painter, evolving into sneaker customization and branching out into digital art, ceramics, and canvases. Sneaker customizing became his forte, with each pair taking 10-30 hours to complete, showcasing unique designs tailored to the wearer. Chris advocates for artistic exploration, particularly within the Native community, hoping to inspire others to delve into sneaker artistry
