Shoes and running apparel are cool, but they're a lot cooler when Greg Itahara gets his hands on them. Greg is a visual storyteller, an artist who has excelled at creating beautiful and unique designs that oftentimes find themselves on one-off shoes, including the hand-painted Asics Gel-Kayano 30 that he presented to Kayano-San himself at our office here in Baltimore.

We were honored to have him in our studio to talk about art, storytelling, creativity, and more. Follow Greg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itahara_art/
