Reviews"[A] vibrant debut...The creative designs wow, especially the "cut paper collage" made by gluing on cutout comic book panels, as well as the marbled effect achieved by dipping shoes in a mixture of leather dye and shaving cream.", "[Xavier Kickz] encourages readers by telling them that they don't have to be an artist or student of the craft to create a pair of sneakers or two (or several); all one needs is the desire and willingness to learn and to practice different techniques. ... A sure hit."-- Library Journal STARRED Review
