Let me start this off with a huge thank you to Sharp020.
Thank you so much Jorge, seriously, the custom is amazing, and I can't thank you enough.
It was worth the wait, and every penny.
You're very skilled, and not just here, but your talent should be recognized by everyone who loves shoes.
I'm a big fan of your work, and again, thank you.

Here's the story.
When I first saw this image on the dunk sb forum:

I fell in love.
I wanted these, but I never knew what became of them.
Then this photo emerged:

The NSB dunk, for select members.

Then I saw xjomox's custom:


Then jls5en's custom:


Then I back tracked and found b53's custom:


So many variations, and I wanted this shoe so bad, without copying, or destroying the originality of jls5en, xjomox, or b53's customs.
So I based it off all of them, but used my creativity and imagination.

I contacted Sharp020 with the request and a crudely Photoshopped image of what I wanted, and I shipped him out my Twin Peaks.
Figured they'd look great with the sole, considering the green stitching is close to the Twin Peaks already.



It took months to make these.
First, there was a problem.
Something went wrong in the process where he made them too small for the midsole.







So he had to basically redo the shoe, salvaging what he could salvage.
And before he could remake them, I had requested to make the croc skin pattern smaller, similar to Tiffany's, or more so the Tiffany wallet by Diamond Supply.


And alas, I bring to you Sharp020's custom he had made for me.
Worth every penny, and worth the long wait.

-Black croc skin: around the toebox (toes), flaps, and swoosh
-3M Silver: lace holes (eyelets) and tab on the back heel
-Black Pig Suede: toe box and upper heel (above the tab on the back heel)
-3M green: double swoosh and back heel (underneath the swoosh where there are 4 lines of stitching)
-Green quilt liner
-Green sunburst printed midpanel
and everything is held together with green contrast stitching.

omfg this has to be the sickest custom the croc skin and the 3m is nice fml!

[ineeddunks08]

Wow! these are by far the sickest customs I've seen in a while...Probably gonna hit Sharp up for my next pair

[cr@zy4kickz]

Damn cemetery I remember when you posted that you wanted your own NSB.ORG custom a few months back and look at you now... What a great idea of using the twin peaks as a base and loving every detail on these. I myself am a huge fan of Sharp020 reconstruction skills, the finished product looks amazing. Enjoy them!

Much props to Sharp020 who amazes us everytime...

it's been said, but ingenius to use the twin peaks as a base.
sharp definitely is the guy to hit up for customs. i lack the vision to come up with a custom of my own, but if there was anything i ever drew up, he'd be the man id hit up to execute it.
