Weekley Methamphibian Throwback

The graphics customizers use today are nearly endless, but they had to start somewhere, right? One of the earliest graphics other than solid colors was an idea with a rich history and background: camouflage. Roughly around 2001 and 2002 was when Methamphibian started putting a basic black, grey, charcoal, and white camo pattern to the leather. Ever since then his work with camo is one of the reasons customs AND companies sneaker designs in general started using more graphics. So that is our weekley throwback, a few samples of Methamphibian’s designs using camouflage.

Mizzee: Friday the 13th 4.0 and Retrospective

Mizzee Customs made his first pair last spring for our buddy SneakFiend. 10 months or so later and its an actual Friday the 13th and the movie is released AND version 4.0 is complete. 4.0 is probably my favorite of them all just because of the foggy woods at night scene he recreated. The grey and lightning are dope. Funny thing is though Mizzee says he has never seen any of the movies. I don’t believe that. But if you got a movie themed idea for a custom you want to wear, Mizzee is your customizer for the job.

Milk: Purple Giraffe

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 worth a look.
