An idea and design created by Ilandio Barros

I am Ilandio Barros. A dreamer born and raised in Angola (Cabinda) A country where the fashion industry still walk in baby steps for decades. Growing up with internal conflicts and collision between the reality in front of my eyes and the reality in my mind, took me to a lot of ups and downs, tears and loneliness, all because the reality in my eyes showed me that i had to stay away from one of my first love at the early age. “DRAWING”. Unless it was about engineering stuff. But all changed in a normal day, i was there seated on my desk with nothing to do after i finish all my task at my day job. Took a pencil and a white paper and started drawing sneaker to avoid watching the time passing by. After i finish it my eyes told me they where beautiful as well my colleagues that was passing by. Then my heart made me the big question. WHY NOT? Then the time i spent on the internet introduced me Aliveshoes Platform. Then here i am.
