In the market for some wicked kicks? If you answered yes, you have to check out this awesome shoe designer. Brass Monki aka Daniel Reese is a 22-year-old kid from the UK. What started out as a hobby, has turned into a full-time career. I think it’s commendable and inspiring how he turned his passion for design, sneakers and pop culture into a full-fledged business.

Using plain white runners as his canvas, Brass Monki is able to transform them into works of art. I browsed through his online store and picked a few superhero-inspired designs. If you’re not a fan of comic book characters, he also does different designs. Heck, you can even commission him to do a customized piece for you. Be forewarned, they are a little pricey especially considering they’re UK Pounds.

Robin

You can’t have Batman without Robin. How awesome would it be to wear Batman on your left foot, then Robin on your right. It’s a lot of cash, but a bold statement.

The Green Lantern

The Green Lantern is my favorite comic book hero. To boot, I love the color green. I might just end buying these ones ;)

Captain America

Is it wrong, but I kinda want these too.

Iron Man

These are IMHO his weakest superhero design. I’m sure hardcore Ironman would disagree.

The Watchmen

I wasn’t a fan of the movie, but I’m loving these shoes.

Mario

So technically, he’s not a superhero, but I had to include them because they’re so adorable.
