Founded by Marissa Confair, eMCee Kicks is where sneaker culture, artistry, and experiential events collide.

From brand activations with TikTok, Foot Locker, Google, and McDonald's to DIY workshops, weddings, and private parties, eMCee Kicks transforms events into high-energy, hands-on creative experiences, where guests walk away with custom, wearable art.
