When he was nine, he began an apprenticeship with a local sandal maker in Taroudant, where his hard work ethic, artistic passion, and creativity was ignited. \u201cThe first shoe master I worked for as a kid,\u201d Khalid recalls, \u201cmade us celebrate Thursdays as our \u2018creative day,\u2019 when we would use leftover materials to create something new, including bracelets, keychains and sandals. That was when my creativity really kicked in, and it had the additional benefit of making me good at drawing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fastforward to the present day \u2014 Khalid now lives in L.A. and owns a shoe repair shop at the original Farmers Market at Fairfax and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Streets, where he leads creativity projects and performs repairs for each customer with a unique approach and attention to detail. Whether it be a heel replacement, arch support, handbag repair, or custom foot challenge, he will design something unique and comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2022, Khalid enrolled in a four-day Custom Sneaker Course offered by \u201cSD Custom Footwear,\u201d to custom-build a Nike hightop sneaker. Khalid packed his bag with Moroccan materials not knowing what he would create but that his design would be inspired by his roots and soul.<\/p>\n<p>His custom designed sneaker is titled \u201cMy Journey: Morocco to California.\u201d Khalid adds, \u201cMy business slogan is \u2018inspired by Morocco, handmade in California\u2019! One of my secrets is that I use all leftover recycled leather from companies in downtown L.A., which makes my handmades affordable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fabric along the hightop sides and the carpet on the tongue are textiles that he grew up seeing, feeling, and working with in Taroudant. The two cloth portions on the sides are connected in the front with a bright red leather to represent a bright future ahead and a black piece of leather in the back to represent his heritage and connection to Mother Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a young shoe designer in Morocco, Khalid used to view the US as an exotic land filled with different materials that were not commonly used in Taroudant. The most unique leather that he dreamed of touching and working with was alligator leather, thus there is a small accent piece of alligator on the back edge of the hightop, which connects his past with the future that lies ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7091\" src=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman-600x346.jpg 600w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/khalid-naitzehou-photos-by-julian-deguzman-1320x761.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young artisan from Taroudant, Morocco now calls Los Angeles home and brings a particular flare to shoe design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":7086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,24,67],"tags":[1058,1161,1234,1563,1667],"article-category":[],"article-type":[],"coauthors":[2165],"class_list":["post-7085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-column","category-review","category-tmr-18-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles","tag-morocco","tag-nike","tag-shoe-design","tag-taroudant"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.5 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
