If you’ve walked through the market and spotted sneakers unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, chances are you’ve found Ohene Customs. Founded in July 2023, this creative brand transforms everyday footwear and apparel into one-of-a-kind works of art, each piece hand-painted with care and intention. Every design is a reflection of Reginard’s artistry — and his mission to glorify God through his work.
