- Alright, let's do it.
Oh shit.
(upbeat music)
Today, we're gonna take some old sneakers
and make them new again, give them back some life.
- I love sneakers, I will probably
wear them at least 75% of my week.
- I've never had a pair of shoes of mine customized
to specifically to what I want,
I'm a little nervous, but I think
they're gonna be really cool.
- Alright, I'm excited, and let's go customize these shoes.
(upbeat music)
- Hey what's up guys, my name's Mike,
you guys are in BYN Customs.
I started designing shoes by just being
part of the 90s sneakers culture.
We start off the store being just a total customizing store.
Jackets, apparel, but we specialize in shoes.
Doing celebrities like, Madonna and Tom Cruise
and a lot of Elton John shoes.
- Whose been your favorite client to work with?
- I liked working with Tom Cruise,
we did 16 pairs of shoes for him.
- Damn...
- That's a lot of shoes.
Yeah, I'm excited, this is gonna be dope.
- Yeah.
- Okay, check out the shoes.
- I brought these Air Maxes, all white,
that light up purple when I walk.
- Preferably leather, yeah these are real customizable,
can add a lot of color to it.
- I like color, I'm into letting
artists do whatever the hell they wanna do.
- Definitely, we'll take a look at some options
and some past works that we've done
and maybe that can inspire you to get creative.
- Since they light up, I'm super into like the 90s vibe.
It doesn't have to be the same either.
- Oh, it should.
- Yeah, I don't care.
- Oh okay, cool.
- I kinda actually like that.
- You know what, you're the first
customer that had said that.
- Alright, you run wild, honey.
- Alright, Tristan, let's take a look at yours.
- I brought the Shadow Ones, Ones are my favorite Jordans.
These are kinda beat up, so I felt like,
let's give him a new life.
Some of the things that I'm into right now,
kinda like the Supreme LV collab,
I too don't think that they have to be the same,
you can do whatever kinda streetwear,
street fashion thing that you wanna do on them.
- Yes, so, Supreme meets BBC.
- Yeah, do your thing.
- Hypebeast.
- Oh, BBC will be dope, I love her.
- Yeah, okay got you.
- So about how long would this take before we get the shoes?
- Well, we should dedicate maybe three or four days
so I would say about a week and a half,
maybe two weeks for both pairs.
- Okay, I'm really excited that my shoes
are gonna be cuter than yours.
- They aren't, they aren't!
Mine's gonna be fire, yours will be cool too.
- I know.
Today is the day we get our shoes
and I'm so excited/nervous.
- Feeling a little nervous, I've never
had anything customized specifically for me.
- I am hoping that I'll like them.
I'm pretty open to a lot of style
so, I feel like it would be hard for me not to like them.
- Got you.
Oh, beautiful box.
- Ooh, this box is pretty!
- Alright, let's do it.
Oh shit!
These are fucking fire.
I can see like the bape in there,
the Supreme on there, the laces are a nice color,
now, these are awesome, like I definitely can wear these.
These came out way better than I fucking expected.
This is really dope.
- Yo!
These, these are fucking dope.
Holy shit.
With the little prints?
And you know what, he said at first,
he was thinking about tiger stripes
and I wasn't even down for tiger stripes
but I was like, whatever, I won't say anything
and now it's cheetah print and I love cheetah print!
There's not one part that I'm
looking at right now that I hate.
- I was like, kinda scared because
I do love the shoes that I gave him
and I still wear them a lot.
That's really fire.
- I don't think people realize
that you can like, take old things
and make them new, it's always just like,
what's the freshest type of sneaker.
This is a dream, no one will own
these sneakers, except for me.
- Yeah, I think if have some sneakers that are like,
dead and you wanna give them life again,
you should definitely hit this guy up.
This is amazing.
- Customized sneakers are seriously bomb.
This is fucking amazing.
