Shoe Designers | Reading

 This week while in lockdown I read an article about a man named Rangi Haira Jaxson who designs shoes for a hobbie. Customising shoes is a way for him to share about his culture to the world. The activity I done was to customise a pair of Jordans. The other activity I did was to write a summary about Rangi Haira Jaxson's hobbie. He does all sorts of designs like KFC and Four Square shoes.

I liked this activity becuase it can inspire people to do art and designing shoes that have Nz icons on them is  cool.
