Making of Japan Charity Nike Toki

One question I constantly get is how do you make custom shoes? I got tired of having to explain the process because explaining it really does not put things into perspective about how much time must be invested and how much attention to detail it takes to make a pair of custom shoes. So I figured I'd create a video for you guys demonstrating how much hard work goes into each and every single pair of custom sneakers I make. Each shoe is painted 100% by hand. Nothing more, nothing less. Add a little tender love and care and you get a completely original, unique pair of kicks to separate your feet from the rest of the world. If you don't get it by now, I see sneakers as wearable works of art. Some people use canvas, some use paper, I just happen to use sneakers as one of my favorite mediums. But I always seem to get complaints from people inquiring about shoes asking why the price must be so lofty. I probably speak on behalf of the rest of the sneaker customization community by saying this is the reason why our shoes are priced kinda pricey. Just watch this video to get a grasp about how much time and effort it really takes. You see people paying thousands of dollars for paintings no problem. But what happens? You stick that painting in the living room and that's it. Just collects dust. But some custom sneakers are like carrying a painting on your feet any where you go! hahaha. Anyways just thought I'd share my process from start to finish. Enjoy.

Wow

[drunkenstyle]

uh..yo man, i think you should have done a little bit more research on japan's art scene and culture. the design you put on the tongue with the rising sun w/ rays is the war flag of the japanese imperial army back in WWII, and they did some crazy shit back then so it's offensive to a lot of people and the japanese don't like to think about it.

it's kinda like putting the SS or swastika symbol if you make some Germany customs
