Masterball 1’s
Commissioned to represent the passions of a fellow coworker, the Masterball 1’s were my first non-hand painted custom. Adapting the color blocking of the rarest pokeball in the Pokemon universe reminded me of the joys of my early childhood. Brad, if you are reading this… I hope you enjoy these, it was a pleasure to give so much T.L.C
(Tender Lovin’ Care) to this project.

ChinaTown Market “Bootleg” Bootlegs
Not only is the Converse Chuck Taylor the most timeless silhouette in all of modern fashion, it has transcended what a street sneaker should be. Its simplistic yet elegant canvas upper is a staple in goth, punk and even modern hip-hop aesthetics. CTM, created this limited custom for Lebron James, but soon prominent figures such as Nigo from A Bathing Ape and Uniqlo, as well as legendary artist Erykah Badu flocked to the California brand for personalized pairs. Here is my bootleg of the bootleg.

Utility Green 3’s (custom)
This colorway was inspired by an archive streetwear post by the user HiddenNY. As it was my first project in over 1 calendar year, there were many fundamentals that I needed to fine tune. In the end, these were for the personal collection and will forever be in a constant state of progress and touchups.
