Artist and Creative Director Jeben Berg has loved visual expression from an early age. We challenged him to transform several dozen Xander Bone sneakers into wearable works of art, available for purchase, along with limited edition art. Both are available below.

The JEB1 will be released in two phases. Phase Two releases in Mid-February. If your size is out of stock, sign up for notifications.

This is the shoe of an artist who has been working with intention on something. There is dripped chrome paint on the toe and overspray from productions and pieces they have painted, and murals they have completed. What has happened to each JEB1 is like the beautiful cutting room floor after the act of creation. The pairs follow a similar artistic framework, but no two are alike.

HELM - The JEB1 Sneaker Pair

A Collision of Ink and Music

During the creation process, Jeben Berg brought his good friend and rapper Norman Sann to turn his art session into a music video, mixing creative mediums and capturing it on camera. Hit play to watch the music video for Norman Sann's track, "Norm.exe"

Limited Art Prints by Jeben Berg

All prints are signed and numbered, and shipped directly by the artist. Select each one to learn more about them

Leather Care

Leather care for the JEB1 is uniquely different, given each pair has been altered by spray paint and other inks.

We recommend using brushes and rags only very lightly on your JEB1's to wipe away dirt and debris.

Footwear for Life

We make Footwear for Life. Styles designed for every occasion, and made to last. But we aren't just here to sell boots and shoes. We are in endless pursuit of impeccable design and unmistakable, life-defining experiences; the coolest places, the most delicious food, the perfect soundtrack for every moment, fascinating people, and the partners who share in our pursuit to find these things.

There are more than 153 steps involved in making a pair of HELM footwear, performed by 14 master cobblers. We're relentless about craftsmanship and have spent years refining our process. Every pair of HELM reflects the dedication we have towards our craft and customers.

Everything we make is inspired by a story and a place. We want our footwear to be as long-lasting as the culture that inspired it, and we combine timeless construction methods with premium leather and materials to create footwear built with a purpose, and shoes made to endure the years, for people who take care of them. HELM footwear is meant to be worn for life.

We want every HELM purchase to be deeply meaningful to each customer, and our commitment to excellence lasts beyond checkout. We are here to serve you with unparalleled customer service and inspire you with tailored customer experiences, and share with you the things that inspire us, like we do in our iconic weekly Saturday Six.

Our goal since day one has been to create footwear that is versatile, timeless, and functional — able to be worn in the workshop or boardroom. You can spot every pair of HELM by its signature white midsole.
