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:

A short while back, Sole Brother Custom Sneakers held their first Ultimate Sneaker contest. Sneakerheads from all over the world submitted descriptions of their perfect custom sneakers in the hopes of having their ideas turned into reality. In the end, Marc Lee from Malaysia was announced as our winner, and we immediately got to work on creating his one-of-a-kind custom kicks.

Here’s a description of Marc’s Ultimate Sneaker in his own words:

“My ultimate sneaker would be a white Adidas Superstar 2 shoe with:
a deck of normal bicycle card design (Only the royal cards Ace King Queen Jack). all over the shoe with some face down, showing the back of the card. Since the common decks are blue and red, the left shoe can have the red deck (red 3 stripes) and the right shoe can have the blue deck (blue 3 stripes)”

Using this description as our guide, here is what we came up with:


Royal Flush - Custom Made Sneakers 1
Royal Flush - Custom Made Sneakers 2
Royal Flush - Custom Made Sneakers 3

He was so excited about receiving his new personalized shoes, he posted pictures of them on our Facebook Page almost as soon as he got them! Here is an excerpt from an email Marc sent us after receiving his sneakers:

“… I have received the sneakers yesterday afternoon. They are very unique and extremely detailed. You truly are very skillful … I don’t know when i will take [them] for a spin! Too beautiful to get dirty!”

Congratulations Marc on winning the contest! You will definitely stand out from the crowd in these exclusive Adidas shoes!
