Meet the Sacramento shoe artist who created a pair for Arik Armstead

If there is anything to know about Arik Armstead, it would be that he’s a proud Sacramento native doing incredible community work to uplift the very place he grew up. Most recently, he’s done that through the Armstead Academic Project, where he recently donated $250,000 to Mercy Housing to start after-school programs for local students. In addition, throughout his professional career, Armstead has sought out opportunities to give back and connect with other locals making an impact on the 916.

That was the case for 20-year-old Kevin Grey (@_k.prxd1gy_ on Instagram), who also calls Sacramento home.
