The restaurant is bringing in Central Florida artists from Lisa Brady Studio, Se7enCustomss, LacedUpFeed and ArtwithCJ to customize sneakers for more than 30 K-12 students, according to a news release.
Children are also encouraged to bring their other back-to-school items — backpacks, pencil cases, denim and lunch boxes — to receive iron-on patches from artist Julee Dempsey, the company said.
