Hey! My name is Mikayla aka Moe, the artist and creator behind Moe Kickz. My brand is a play on the saying “Mo’ money, mo’ problems”… or in this case, “Mo(e)’ Kickz”.

I'm a 27 year old Wisconsin-based artist that can paint just about anything! I've been an artist for as long as I can remember and a UW-Milwaukee graduate (class of 2019) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

Sneakers have always been my favorite part of an outfit, so it's only right that I make them stand out! Within the last couple of years I’ve found a passion for creating 1 of 1 shoes with artwork based on my own Mexican heritage and Lowrider culture, but I’m always down for a challenge and creating something new.

I am a 1-woman show, meaning I design and/or make all of my products with occasional help from family. Designs like the “Higher the Socks” tee, and “Love & Oldies” crewneck were actually a collaboration with my dad, who actually owns THE FIRST pair of “Low & Slow Cortez.”

Future goals for this business is to expand and be completely family oriented (:
