Sneaker Customization: My Step-By-Step Process

Something i've been thinking about doing for a little while..mainly because often I tend to get questions from people such as "how do you design your shoes?".

(I actually have a little cousin who thinks I spray paint my shoes..for some reason I thought it was funny).

"Sting"

In Philly we had the pleasure of not only getting both companies TV shows but they came to our town for live events. While I watched both companies, I was always a bigger NWA/WCW fan since their product felt more realistic and more athletic based. One of the wrestlers who stuck out to me as a kid wa...

"Glitch" (aka "Glitch In The Matrix")

Something new for the online shop. These are the "Glitch" Air Max 90s. Made using the all white Air Max 90s, these were based on an old mock up sketch I did a few months back and wanted to release it in time for the spring season. These can be ordered from the online shop (see link below) and feature a pale green and black colorway. If you're interested in this theme in a different colorway, orders are being accepted in any colorway of your choice. Just send a message through the online store contact form if interested in a different color idea. Order the "Glitch" Air Max 90 here .
