Behind Rezilient Soles

Yá’át’ééh (Hello) My name is Tracie Jackson (she/they) and I created Rezilient Soles to express my love for art, my Diné culture, and how I imagine Indigenous art and fashion coming together. I’m a multidisciplinary Indigenous artist who uses sneakers, paint, beadwork, and jewelry as their tools to create. I’m a full time Footwear Designer in the Sportwear Industry with a focus on sustainability and designing for communities. When I’m done with my day job designing sneakers you can catch me at my work bench beading and working on my next piece. I hope to use my work to challenge stereotypes and create new and authentic representation through art for the Indigenous community. Thank you for supporting my small business and design journey!
