The intricately layered techniques and socially conscious and autobiographical themes of Bryant Giles have earned the Los Angeles-based artist and designer international acclaim in both the fashion and art worlds. With an individualized take on the 2002R, Giles draws on a particularly unique source of inspiration, his own pair of customized, classic grey 992s. The 2002R reinterprets the hand-drawn alterations made to the 992 as embroidered, original artwork. These graphics are set against a backdrop of a neutral toned, canvas and suede accented upper, for a holistic feeling spin on the silhouette’s high-tech heritage. Original illustrations also feature on the shoe’s sockliner, and on customized packaging, with multiple lace options and a removable hook and loop ‘N’ logo capturing the energy of the in-studio creative process, down to the last detail.

About Bryant Giles
A contemporary, multidisciplined artist based out of Los Angeles, Bryant Giles’ work is often an expression of his personal emotional state and its relation to a social climate defined by injustice. His designs placed on the 2002R of the and 2002 mule — the latter of which he refers to as ‘The Multitasker’s shoe’ —were created while working on his upcoming exhibition, ‘What Now,’ a solo show in which he reflects on key moments in his life where he’s questioned everything.
