2011-12-02T06:53:00.000-08:00

Bracelets have become really popular lately, especially after many entertainers started wearing them.

I did some research online and found out how to make these popular bracelets, after purchasing all the stuff i needed i got down to work. So here is the outcome.

Puma Clyde "Spider Veins"

2011-11-12T08:51:00.000-08:00

I love Clydes and wear them on the regular basis, so i got a few pairs of Puma Clydes for really cheap and thought i would customize a pair. The initial design idea came from veins found in leafs and such but then i saw a picture of spider veins and decided to try and make that into a pattern. So this is the outcome.
Blue Puma suede Clyde base, with Mango formstrip and orange pattern.

Carnimunny custom vinyl figure

2011-10-29T09:39:00.000-07:00

So this is my first successful custom munny figure. The design is inspired by my Nike Air Carnivore custom that i released a while back.
The figure has a full painted body with the same colors as used on the Carnivores.
The stripe pattern is continued fully through the arms so when the toy stands the pattern is continuous and does not seem random. Also the back of the munny head is done the same way as the ankle straps on the kicks.

I have received a lot of great feedback about the original design and the shoes sold out in a matter of days so i decided to put together another small batch of this shoe and allow my customers to have a chance to purchase them.

Nike SB Blazer "SpaceMan"

2011-09-14T11:34:00.000-07:00

So this pair is inspired by Space Jams obviously. I didnt want to use the same exact materials so i used the same materials but in variation. I used a crinkled patent leather and ripstop nylon instead of ballistic nylon. I didnt want to make these really flashy so i used minimal blue and the only thing that really pops is the heel branding. The rest of the kicks i will be releasing through my web shop will be done in regular patent but still with ripstop swooshes and heel tabs.

There will only be 6 pairs available worldwide so please check the webstore for availability.

The kicks feature:

1) Fully hand sewn upper

2) Black crinkled patent leather

3) Diamond shaped rip stop nylon

4) Blue stitch swooshes

5) Custom hand sewn heel tabs with Spacejam type SB branding

The shoes are available for purchase through my web store: The Fresh and Fly Web Store

10Deep "Patriots" Nike Blazer Hi

2011-08-23T08:54:00.000-07:00

So this is something i have been sporadically working on, I had this base shoe laying at my house and i didnt know what to do with it since it was an impulse purchase on the base.
Anyway one of my fav streetwear companies is 10 Deep, i love the designs, logo's, overall approach to the garments that they take. Also i love 10Deep fitteds and 5panels and i own a lot too. So one of my fav 10Deep fitteds is the Nouveau Stomp hat, i was looking at the latest design they came out with and one of the stood out to me the most, the Navy blue cap with the logo done in the american flag and imminently i was inspired to make these kicks and part of the material inspiration came from the recent release of Pro Keds 10Deep collab.

So here they are:
Fully hand sewn as always.
The base is done in a Raw Japanese blue wash denim (this denim fill fade with wear just like Nudies or APC denim we all love to rock)
The outer swooshes done in smooth white leather,
The inner swooshes are stitched out in red thread,
All the edges are tucked in for a premium look,
The inner part of the shoes have zippers
The top part of the zippers are covered with Denim pieces with custom printed felt Nike logos,
Hand sewn 10 Deep logos on the heel tabs
The lower side panels and heel strips done in red,
All the stitching done in Red
And last but not least silver metal 10Deep lace locks.

Sneak Peek of new upcoming work.

2011-07-20T15:01:00.000-07:00

Here is a little peek at some new kicks i will be dropping really soon.

Nike SB UNDFTD

2011-07-06T09:32:00.000-07:00

So here is my rendition of the UNDFTD colorway on a pair of Nike SB Blazers.

The shoes where fully hand sewn as always and are limited to 5 pairs worldwide.
The rest of the 4 pairs will be done in either a choice of 1000 Denier Nylon or Rip Stop Nylon because the rubberized leather is really hard to get a hold of.

So the kicks where made using soft Black leather,
Rubberized Olive Drab leather
The kicks where sewn together using orange and olive drab thread.
The UNDFTD logo was hand stitched into the heel panel in Orange.
All the edges where tucked in for a premium look
And i added 2 eyelets at the top of the lace panels.

The rubberized leather is military grade and is water/dirt repelling. It was really hard to work with it, it was a huge headache to attach the upper to the sole cause the rubberized leather did not want to glue down at all, as it is treated with a repellent. So after testing out over 4 different glues i decided to sand down the leather to allow it to bond to the midsole and it finally did.

THE SHOE ARE LIMITED TO 5 PAIRS WORLDWIDE at $300 a pair, free continental US shipping.

You can purchase them at my webstore here:

Nike Blazer Premium "Rising Sun" charity custom

2011-05-24T09:48:00.000-07:00

I am sure that by now everyone knows about the tragic events that hit Japan on March 11, 2011. A devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the northeast coast of Japan, this earthquake let to a tsunami that swept away thousands of homes and led to tens of thousands of deaths. Many people where left without homes, food, and the bare necessities. Still a large number of people in the impacted areas are missing.

Being that i am located in Russia and i am pretty close to Japan i wanted to help people in need. I have already donated some money to a relief fund but still want to do more. So since i am a sneaker customizer i decided i will make a pair of shoes to commemorate Japan and auction them off and donate part of the proceeds to another Japan relief fund.
The shoes will be placed for auction after June 10th as they will be on display at a show till then.

So here is the shoes i have created. The shoes are done in black/red/silver colorway i was initially going to use a white/red/silver colorway but decided to go with a black colorway.
The black in the shoe represents the horrible events that took place in Japan. The black material i used is military grade ripstop nylon that was treated with the same water repellent as used on North Face jackets.
I used silver leather for the Nike swooshes and heel tabs, the silver represents the brighter future.
Lastly i used red for the stitching on the swooshes and heel tabs and i added red eyelets.
The heel tabs future the rising sun emblem and where fully hand sewn, each heel tab took me over 90 minutes to sew.
Lastly the shoes are packaged in a clear vinyl zip top baggy with a F&F emblem and sticker, the bag is similar in size to food ration bags given out to people in disaster areas.

As always the shoes where fully hand sewn from top to bottom, all the materials where first glued with shoe cement and then stitched by hand for double the durability.

So here is a little sneak peak of the upcoming charity sneakers i am making, they will be released tomorrow night.

Nike ATC Huarache V.2

2011-04-30T11:56:00.000-07:00

Here is another personal pair i did. The Nike ATC series of kicks is one of my fav tennis sneakers and i love working on them.
This pair is basically left untouched except for the mid panels that were repainted in the turquoise color to match the out sole and eyelets. On top of the turquoise mid panels i painted a Nike Air Challenge Huarache pattern.

Nike Air Carnivore Black toe

2011-04-30T11:50:00.000-07:00

So this is a simple pair i did for myself. I have always loved the Nike Air Carnivore and Nike Air Unlimited, and when i find out that the Carnivore will be retroed i was happy as hell. The day of the release i bought 3 pairs of the original Black/Green/Purple colorway. But there is a pair i have wanted for a long time the Black/Purple colorway that was not retroed.
So since i have 3 pairs i decided to customize one with a black toe and re-do the heel pattern in a 2 tone style with the raised areas done in black. I also continued the mid sole pattern on the inner sides to give it a more complete look.

Some teasers of personal work

2011-04-24T10:26:00.000-07:00

Whats good everyone, have been away for a minute due to some family circumstances. My mother had heart surgery so i have not had any time to work on sneakers since i have been taking care of her for the last month and a half since her surgery. Now that she is better i have a bit more time on my hands and i can sit down and make some kicks if my work schedule allows me to.
Here is a couple teasers of some kicks i am making for myself. Should hopefully be done in a day or 2 depending on the work schedule.

Vans Era "Locals Only"

2011-02-07T08:33:00.000-08:00

This pair of customs is a personal pair, i had some left over material and decided to do a Vans Era custom sneaker since i have never worked on a Era sneaker before. I also made a small how to picture guide on the customization of the Vans Era kicks. You can hit the link to check it out.

What i did was add wax silk material to the side panels, the patter on the material was cut so it came to an arrow design in the front of the kicks.
The liner was replaced for a black leather liner to match the overall dark tone of the kicks.
I also added a leather heel tab.
The eyelets where done in white with red eyelets at the top to match the red Vans heel logo.
Like always the shoes where fully hand stitched for an authentic hand made feel.

Bubble Trouble Dunk low

2010-08-16T11:06:00.000-07:00

I made this pair for my little niece. She really liked my "Bubble Trouble" Dunk Hi's a lot and asked if i can make her a pair with the same design. She gave me a pair of dunks and after a few photoshop templates we decided on the colors and bubble patter placement.
What i did was use a Violet toe, lace, and upper heel panels, Electric Blue toe cap, side, and heel panels with a slightly darker blue bubble patter. And to top it off i did yellow swooshes, heel tab, and midsole stitching.

Supra "Keffiyeh" Society

2010-07-11T08:48:00.000-07:00

Ok first and foremost i know this is similar to what Meth, SBTG, and a few other cats have done but the idea came from my fav "The Almighty" 5 Panel hat from Crooks&Castles. I got this pair of Supras for myself but the actually fit like a size larger so i decided to customize them since i am not going to be wearing them.
So yea what i did was use:

-Avacado green color for the side and upper heel panels
-Black toe and lower heel panels with a Palestinian Keffiyeh pattern all over the black
-Infrared heel opening
-Infrared TK logo outlined in black.

All of the pattern was done freehand, no use of stencils at all.
The infrared represents the tracer bullets use by the soldiers cause they always light up the sky in Palestine.
The overall shoe represents the uniforms worn by Palestinian soldiers (they are green and black)
The kicks are up for sale hit the link below

Converse "Stay Strapped" Chuck Taylor

2010-07-11T08:46:00.000-07:00

This is something i did for myself.
Converse "Stay Strapped" Chuck Taylor
I had this idea for a while but never did it until now. Every time i saw the Mono Black Chucks they always reminded me of a swat boot for some reason, mainly it was the rubber toe and all black appearance, and i always wanted to add straps to them to see what they would look like. So i got a pair of Chucks and added straps with matte metal pieces. The straps i used are military grade non fray straps so they will last a long time. This custom didnt take much time but i like the way it turned out. Also the straps actually lock the foot down as i experimented on the best way to make the straps so they work.

Black Matte metal pieces
Military grade strapping
Tongue lace stays.

All the straps where sewn by hand using a sewing awl, the straps where send in between the inner and outer materials so they will not bother the foot from the inside when they are worn.

2010-04-22T06:58:00.000-07:00

These are the kicks that took 3rd place at the contest

Nike Dunk Low Elephant&Denim

2010-04-14T12:49:00.000-07:00

This pair of Nike kicks was a quick custom, i did this shoe just to see how the Japanese salvage denim i received will look on shoes. So what i did was place the denim material on the heel of the kicks, the edge of the denim that meets the sole has a non fray grey and orange stitch, and the denim was frayed all around the outline of the heel. The lace holes on the denim where finished off with white metal eyelets. I did not stitch the denim because i would like to have the denim fray a lot during wear to create a beat up look. The shoes have white/light blue side panels, white toe cap and heel quarter panels, Blue swoosh and heel tab with orange Nike logo. The toe and lace panels are done in light grey with a grey elephant like patter. The edges of the toe and lace panels are done in orange to contrast with the rest of the grey colors used. The pattern is not fully elephant it more of my own take on it. Its a mix between crackle and elephant prints.

2010-02-06T10:39:00.000-08:00

So this pair is pretty self explanatory. First time using a Dynasty HI as a base for customs. The shoes where a quickstrike release so the leather was really nice and great to work with. The shoes consist of 2 shades of Grey used for the outer panels, lace panels, and toe cap. Black for the toe and heel panels, and Mint blue for the swoosh and heel quarter panel. The lace and toe panels are designed with the widely known Elephant Print.

Califa Raza SK8 Hi

2010-01-23T11:06:00.000-08:00

Second pair of the year lol. This pair was made in way thinking about the Cali and the movie Colors. We all know there is 2 colors that can be associated with the movie is blue/grey and red/black. Well the pattern on the material i used is similar to a bandanna and the colors are blue/grey hence the name Califa Raza. I am currently looking for a red SK8 hi so i can make the second shoe. So on to the kicks, first all the panels and sole was lifted, then the material was first glued then stitched to the sneaker. I used grey thread to stitch the material and for the outline of the Vans logo. Comments are appreciated
