STPI means: Shoes That Pay Insurance, since i need one more year to turn 21, my insurance is high as a bitch, so most of shoes that i make normally are meant to pay that bill, this customs fall under that category, just some shoes i made. of course there are others that wont fall under STPI, normally competition pieces, shoes for friends and family and for myself. those will have much more detail.

in any case the two following customs are Ice dragon dunk lows and Bloddy snakes AF1. Both are reconstructed from ground up only keeping the heel plate and sole from original shoes. the ice dragons lows feature silk face(with dragons on them) and white glow in the dark vinyl(my camera sucks so no GID pic) along with 3M/GID swoosh. custom tongues
(made out of scratch) along with custom insoles. The Bloody snakes are a customer order, the dude gave me some busted up AF1 and i worked them to turn them "from beaters to heaters" never working again with a shoes that beat. it has the same colorway as the original dunk, but this time with red constrast stitching on the white GID vinyl(no pics of it since my camera sucks in the dark) it was my first time working with AF1s and they are much easier then dunks, but dont expect me to work with them that much.

enjoy the pics

^^^^feels just the same, i use a complex method of double layering(sometimes triple in a couple of spots) and a presice method of using the sockliner for my sizing, if you were to get it, it would feel exaclty the same as a regular dunk(its just as thick), and for i stitched the upper back on....well i used a special glue that isnt sold in regular stores since its illegal for regular ppl. and the stitching, well thats a secret.

thanks for the comments.

sharp they both are sick start taking orders damn it

[kawooool]

Silks are definitely somethin' I'd rock..Sucks, cuz I had a silk dunk planned with almost exactly the same design(as in templates, where silk was). Haha, back to photoooshop for me...

[sharp020]

^^^sorry to hear that, but this isnt the first im i've worked with silk and the "color placement" im doing a high top version this weekend with different placements and details, better hurry yours up

heres one from back in feb

[kawooool]

Haha, don't worry about it. Mine are all just going to be personal customs anyway probably, so no biggy.

Definitely not getting mine out for at least a week or two anyway..Varsity soccer+school= killer. No time for anythhhiiing these days.

man just wait till you get to your senior year, i rarely slept during those times from work+school+night school+soccer fliming for community service+filming projects for various classes+physics(killed me) there were several times when i wouldn't sleep for three days straight. the most i've done is 4-5 days without sleeeping, when i finally did i collapsed.

[kawooool]

Hahaha yesssss, I realize I don't have it that BAD, but as far as customs go, I definitely don't have time to pump stuff out consistently at all.

[Pinoy]
