It’s officially official 2009 is the year of “Decon-Recons”. With that said, we got another new, but highly skilled customizers work to showcase. Our buddy Brad created a clean looking pair of Dunk mids with distressed purple leather, brown weaved leather, and black suede Swooshes. Not much else to say other than look out for his next work. He will have a website and MySpace soon but until then contact him with your questions via email:

Shoe companies better look out. 2009 will be the year of the “decon-recon” custom, if we haven’t mentioned that already. There is a good handful or more of people that are giving a few “decon-recon” customizers some much deserved competition. One of those people are theMenace behind tM Customs, and that can easily be seen in his first what he called “simple” reconstruction. Simple?………..Kinda…maybe. Aside from the wild bright colors yes they are simple due to being one fabric. Either way with a few cosmetic structural errors…..not really errors but small mishaps on details that will most likely be erased as tM masters his craft. The potential for great work is on the table for tM in 2009 and beyond. Be sure to visit back here to see his progress.

So if you don’t know the best customizing forum online is probably the one at Sole Collector: Customs & Restorations. Nearly all the great names put their work up and have great discussions daily. We made a few posts earlier about a couple customizers teasers, but now were just gonna give you all of them so you can remember to check back when they get done with their work. From the likes of Sharpe020, Hush, Sekure D, and a few others here you go. I have no idea what a few are so feel free to leave your guess in the comments.

His designs ranged from Olympic inspired, elephant print, and Lebrons Saturday Night Live performance. 1Of mentioned they were made in size 16 for Lebron, as well that they would be on display during a Nike event in New York City.
