KAWS (American, b.1974) is a notable limited-edition toy and clothing designer. He was born in Jersey City, NJ, as Brian Donnelly. Growing up in New Jersey, KAWS first became interested in graffiti in elementary school, where he spent a good deal of time copying graffiti images onto paper. His first influences were neighborhood children, who painted graffiti images on walls within his community. As he grew older, his influences came from traditional life painters, such as Gerhard Richter, Klaus Oldenberg, and Chuck Close.
KAWS’s career began as a graffiti artist in New York, NY, in the early 1990s. His images were seen on billboards, bus stops, and phone booths. He obtained his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Immediately after graduation in 1996, KAWS began working as a freelance artist for Disney, creating animated backgrounds. Some of his most popular works include his contributions to 101 Dalmations, Daria, and Doug. Once KAWS began to gain popularity, his graffiti advertisements became highly sought after. He traveled extensively to work in Paris, London, Germany, and Japan. In 1998, he received the Pernod Liquid Art Award, which offers a grant to new artists.

Consignment Items (Non-Realism / Non-Naeon)

All sales of consignment items are final.

Secret Sneaker Store operates as a consignment marketplace, meaning we do not own the products displayed in-store or online. Each item is owned by an independent third-party consignor, and Secret Sneaker Store facilitates the sale on their behalf. When a consigned item is purchased, payment is issued directly to the owner of the item. Secret Sneaker Store only retains a commission and does not hold the full sale amount.

Because consignors are paid out once their item sells, we are unable to reverse the transaction, reclaim funds, or process returns or exchanges for consignment products.

If you no longer wish to keep your purchase, the best alternative we can offer is to re-consign the item through our store. Consignment fees apply, which means you will receive 78–80% of the final sale price once the item sells. Pricing can be adjusted to help you recover closer to the original purchase amount; however, higher pricing may result in longer sell times.

Current consignment commission rates:

• Melbourne Central: 22%
• Chadstone: 22%
• Doncaster: 20%
• Sydney: 20%

We encourage customers to visit our stores to try items on before making a purchase. If you are unable to visit in person, we will always do our best to provide accurate product information and guidance; however, please note that comfort and fit preferences vary from person to person.

Refunds are only issued in the case of fulfilment errors, such as receiving an incorrect item or missing items in your order. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact us online@secretsneakerstore.com
