Two weeks into lockdown and many of us have exhausted Netflix and are needing to extend our isolation repertoires past baking banana bread… so how does designing a custom pair of sneakers sound?

Merchant 1948's Deuce are running a competition where you can design the canvas sneaker that you would like to be stepping out of isolation in. They will take the best design and transform it into a pair of custom kicks for you and your bubble buddy plus, they will be featured as a limited-edition release in Deuce’s SS20 range. How cool?!

Dig out the colouring pencils you have scattered at the bottom of your stationary draw, or for the digitally savvy among us - boot-up photoshop and get creating!

Submissions open today and close on April 25, before public voting begins with a winner announced on May 6. Head to their website here for the entry form and more details.
