This shoe was created during the rise and spread of police brutality brutality during the beginning of the pandemic. At first, this shoe was never going to see the light of day because Devlin Carter did not want to profit off injustice. Carter realized he could use his platform to speak on the issues and also support the young people fighting in the streets. Carter then created this shoe and used a portion of proceeds to help with the fight of police brutality. Using his platform not just to profit on his end, but to stand for something that is bigger than one’s self.

This is a special iteration of the Culture Vulture Phuck Racism for the dear departed George Floyd. Floyd’s brother Stephan Jackson Sr. played a huge role in the creation of the shoe. Jackson Sr. is a former NBA player and close friend of brand owner Devlin Carter. Once the project came to reality, they planned a release for Floyd’s birthday on October 14th. For every shoe that was sold, $30 from each shoe was donated to Floyd’s daughter Gigi. A special edition of a shoe fighting for equality and the stop of police brutality.

This shoe was inspired by Devlin Carter’s dream to buy a car straight out of the showroom. After seeing success in his business endeavors, Carter was able to buy himself a Mercedes AMG suv. After fulfilling his dream, he decided to get back to work more inspired than ever. Carter used that drive and create a shoe marveling the new suv he had just brought off the showroom. An inspirational project as well, showing his viewers that you can reach any height you set for yourself, you just have to be willing to push the limit.

Devlin Carter, the creator behind Sia Collective is bringing back creativity to fashion. Once a sneaker customizer now owner of his own design brand. Going up against top name designers and companies trying to solidify himself as top dog. This specific sneaker was designed to be a Halloween treat, a shoe that comes with artificial blood and other materials to give it that theatrical effect. A glow in the dark feature is also added into the materials of the shoe. Storytelling at its finest, denim material for Chucky’s clothes, orange accents for Chucky’s hair, and stripes to represent Chucky’s shirt. If that’s not pure genius manifesting itself into dope art, I don’t know what is.
