Mache Custom Kicks: Joker AF1′s
Mache Custom Kicks finished these last summer based off Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker character in the Dark Knight.

Weekley Methamphibian Throwback
The graphics customizers use today are nearly endless, but they had to start somewhere, right?

The grey…[Read More]

milk1 of the Sneaker Freaker forums recently put up these “Purple Giraffe” adidas Stan Smith hi-tops. Something that today is definitely following our motto :K.I.S.S., seven years ago these would have probably been called crazy in the customizing world. Today they are rather run of the mill, but milk1 still did a great job thats…[Read More]
