Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm the founder of Athena
and now I'll tell you how I turned my hobby into my job. Everyone
knows what sneakers look like after a year, especially if the sneakers are white
. My sneakers definitely looked awful and it was too bad for me
to just throw them away. So I was looking for a solution
and came across acrylic paints. I was inspired by cool
designs on the internet and decided to give my
shoes a new look. Word of this got around very quickly in my circle of friends
and I received my first orders. After
a certain amount of time and a lot of experience, I had the idea not only to refurbish old shoes,
but also to make new shoes unique. I started selling handmade unique pieces on the eBay platform. The customers were
enthusiastic about my work.

This is how the Athena brand was born.
