I'm the customizer known as 'MACHE'. I'm just a guy who combines my love of art and sneakers....and got real lucky. Below are just a few examples of some works for both customers and myself. They are merely pictured to give you a general idea of my capabilities with a brush. If any of them inspire you, just say the word and I'll make a crazy pair just for you that will snap every neck on your block sideways. The only limit to my designs is what is in your imagination. So if you have the idea, I'm confident that I can translate it into a one of a kind piece of art.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-
HOW DO I ORDER CUSTOMS AND WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED? You will need to PM or email me the following: a) Shoe Make/ Model/ Size ……preferably 1-3 types of shoes so I may have options. Some shoes are seasonal….for example, Air Force 1’s. b) Colors you like. c) Images….good quality JPGS are perfect. d) Ideas you have about the way you want your shoe to look. e) All the contact information you can provide.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET SHOES CUSTOMIZED? The price varies according to the complexity of the job, and the time and materials required to complete the job. Prices can range between $120 to $500+. (Note- prices do not include actual shoes or shipping) Remember: Price point matches quality….i.e.…You get what you pay for!
DO YOU PROVIDE THE SHOES TO BE CUSTOMIZED? I prefer that the customer supplies the shoe, but if it is not possible for the customer to attain a certain base shoe and I can get it, I will for the right price of course....
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? Once I have the shoes in my possession, it takes 2-3 weeks to complete and make ready to ship out. Turnaround is also subject to season ordered. You will be notified when the shoes are shipped and you will get your tracking number.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT? I prefer PayPal, Postal Money Orders, and Cash (although I do not advise you send cash through the mail.)
HOW ARE THE SHOES SHIPPED? Customer is responsible for shipping and handling costs. I ship everything USPS Priority Mail with Tracking. Customer may also provide additional postage or request alternative shipping.
DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONAL? Yes, I can ship anywhere in the world where a plane can land!
ARE THE SHOES ON THIS SITE FOR SALE? No, but I can replicate a past job but I would much rather collaborate with you to come up with something new that we'll both like.
If these didn't help...email me : [email protected](NOTE: Serious Inquiries will get prompt responses)
