TOMS Shoes Debuts a Collaborative Canvas Collection Featuring Brandon Boyd and Kristin Jai Klosterman at Undefeated
TOMS Shoes is pleased to announce a collaboration featuring the art of Brandon Boyd and Kristin Klosterman. Hand painted canvases, one by each artist and one collaborative, will be used to create a limited run of TOMS Shoes.
Longtime friends Brandon Boyd (Incubus) and Kristin Klosterman were moved by the One for One movement, and welcomed the opportunity to partner with TOMS. A total of 75 pairs of shoes will be produced, 25 from each canvas. Undefeated will join forces with TOMS as the exclusive seller of the collection.
"Kristin and I finished these massive canvases after a few days work and were both proud and depressed simultaneously. Proud because we had put our hearts into something fun and worthy, and depressed because it was going to be cut up into hundreds of pieces! Though, now that we are done I am excited to see the end result. And I am happy to have worked with TOMS Shoes on something so necessary and poignant" says artist, Brandon Boyd.
Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, Blake Mycoskie says, “Art and creativity have always been important to TOMS. We often encourage customers to use paints and markers to create custom TOMS for themselves or friends, and we bring white canvas TOMS on US Shoe Drops for the kids to draw on. Using a raw canvas that is hand-painted pre-production, however, is a totally new and exciting concept for us. Brandon and Kristin have created 3 really amazing pieces, and we can’t wait to share this creative collection with the world.”
Leading up to the September 26 launch event, eight pairs of shoes will be on display at Undefeated stores in Silverlake, Santa Monica, La Brea and Las Vegas. The shoes will go on sale the night of the event at 7pm.

As the lead singer of Incubus, Brandon Boyd has shown for many years
that he is an ever-morphing artist who possesses an innate
accessibility. An insight into his raw honesty is explored and
displayed in his two previously released diary/journalistic books. In
2003, White Fluffy Clouds: Found Inspiration Moving Forward was
published, and followed by From The Murks of The Sultry Abyss in 2007.
His upcoming show entitled “Ectoplasm” is an examination of the relationship and correlation between art and spirit matter. Brandon cites artists Aubrey Beardsley, Egon Schiele, Robert Anton Wilson, and Helmut Newton as a few of the artists that have had a profound influence on his work. A portion of his previous work can be viewed at www.brandonboydbooks.com and the upcoming installation will unveil primarily new material.
Opened in April, 2006 Mr. Musichead is the first L.A. gallery devoted
exclusively to rock art, fine art, and photography by its musicians,
artists, photographers, and designers. It features album cover art,
poster art, and photography that chronicles rock and roll heritage
while interspersing and showcasing new artists with new points of
view. Owner and founder Sam Milgrom established himself in Detroit
for many years as a cutting edge music retailer and live concert venue
owner. A partner of the renowned Morrison Hotel gallery, Sam has now
set his sites specifically on the Los Angeles music/art scene.
