Charlie Malta’s grade-school shoe collection took him more than a few steps in the direction of art school; it launched the possibility of a full-time fashion business. The freshmen’s creative journey is highlighted in a recent article in Columbus Underground.

With a penchant for drawing and shoes, the carrot-topped “Guice Mann” creates custom shoes, shirts, bags and bracelets. He eventually wants to have his own line of apparel. He also can imagine an all-white car as the perfect inspirational canvas.

Incoming freshman Charlie Malta (AKA the Guice Mann) got a shout out in the NYLON Guys magazine September issue. The Guice Man creates what the magazine’s writer, Jay Buim, describes as the “best custom sneakers we’ve seen.” The much-loved sneaks start as generic white canvas shoes and are transformed with Malta’s custom artwork. According to the article, he’s created 600 pairs so far. NYLON Guys is  a supplement to NYLON magazine, which focuses on fashion and pop culture.
