KING OF POP CUSTOMS

Hello world and beyond
This summer I've really been able to delve deep into the realm of custom sneakers and many of my other posts reflect the great passion I have for this, arguably, lost art. However, today's entry is truly special and unprecedented compared to any other project I've completed recently. This pair of custom Air Force 1 lows were a collaboration of myself and fellow custom artist, JRow, dedicated to the legacy of the famous Michael Jackson. We've been able to join forces on a number of pairs this summer and quite frankly, the results speak for themselves. So without hesitation, I am excited and proud to introduce the one-of-kind hand-painted Born 2 Shine King of Pop Customs.I'll keep it brief and leave some questions for the bloggers and sneakerhead sites but after we got the idea to make the commemorative pair, we went straight to work choosing images and colors for the shoes. Ultimately, each of us completed one shoe based on our individual reflections and personally, I am more than satisfied with the final product. The King of Pop Customs will be featured on PIMPMYKICKS.COM very soon so stop by the site and check them out for yourself. Also, along with new (and better) pictures will be an artist interview featuring Me and J reflecting more in depth upon the process of designing this classic pair. Stay tuned for more Born 2 Shine customs and visit pimpmykicks if your think you're up to owning a custom pair of your own.

Always with Love
