From Anacostia to Converse: Yetunde Sapp’s Art Is Now on Your Feet
We love to see it when homegrown talent gets the spotlight, and this one is especially exciting. Yetunde Sapp, a brilliant visual artist originally from Anacostia, now has her artwork featured on a pair of custom Converse sneakers and they’re nothing short of a vibe.
Her design, titled “My Kind of Blues,” is a heartfelt homage to the music that’s shaped her life: from the soulful cries of the blues, to the groove of Memphis’ Stax Records, to the hometown rhythms of D.C.’s own Go-Go. The title also pays tribute to her paternal great-grandmother, Debby Moore, whose 1959 jazz debut album shares the same name. It’s history, culture, and style all laced up.
These unisex shoes are made to order and color-customizable, so you can choose your own combination and walk in something that’s uniquely yours while supporting a living Black artist with deep roots in the community.
Whether you’re from D.C., love bold and meaningful design, or simply want to support a rising star, now’s the time
