Here’s another new pair I’ve been meaning to post. These were created for famed Swiss DJ, manager, and music industry consultant Flexmaster Dee. He wanted to show respect to his DJ crews, and knew that professional quality Sole Brother customs were the only way to go. Check out the photos:

Line drawings of a turntable tonearm cover the sides of the sneakers. At the back of each shoe sit the logos of Flexmaster Dee’s DJ crews: The Bumsquad DJs and DJ League Europe. His DJ name, along with his alias “The Swiss Heavyweight” also adorn the sides of the shoes.

Look out for these kicks in a club near you!

Hey folks! It’s been a while since I’ve posted some new custom kicks. Too busy customizing, no time for blogging! Anyways, check these out:

This pair of custom Adidas sneakers was commissioned by a loving girlfriend as a gift for her boyfriend. They were created to resemble a Japanese woodcut print, circa the 17th century. On the side of the shoe sits a geisha holding a paintbrush in her hand. She has just finished writing the Japanese characters beside her, which spell out the two sweetheart’s names, along with the character for Love. The trees in the background shed their flower blossoms, which were painted orange to match the recipient’s favorite color. Subtle paint splashes and airbrushing were employed here and there to give the shoe an “aged” look.

Are these customized sneakers for sale? Nope! They were a one-off pair for the lucky guy to enjoy on his birthday.

When Matt Van Horn of Digg (the world’s largest social news website) came to me looking for unique custom shoes, needless to say I was thrilled! I’ve been a long time Digg user, and I definitely couldn’t pass up a chance to create some exclusive custom kicks for them. Here’s what I designed:

The custom Air Force Ones feature a spiffy Digg color scheme, and a cool glow-in-the-dark “Digg” pattern. I produced 5 pairs of Limited Edition sneakers for the Digg staff and 1 pair for myself.

The founder of Digg, Kevin Rose, and CEO Jay Adelson were gracious enough to sign my pair:
