Bape x Supreme Stencil Set – Easy to Use Stencils to Customize Your Kicks!

If you're reading this, we're just trying to make birthdays great again. Now that you found the box, lets talk about it and whats inside of it.
Our buddy Nelson's birthday is coming up, and he asked for a custom request. Since it was for his birthday, we found it fitting to ice out his box with ice cream and sprinkles to celebrate! This box took 4 days to create.

Whats inside???

Nelson requested for a 1 of 1 custom using a reverse Shattered Backboard 1 as the base shoe. Its tough taking a brand new, deadstock pair of reverse SBBs and putting a knife to them, but its for a good cause. So here is his vision…
First we deconstructed the Jordan 1 to simulate the Off White Chicago 1s. Once the shoes were broken down, we moved on to painting the shoes.
We took one shoe and color blocked it to look like the Shattered Backboard 1. We added the Off White Stencil pack (available here: Off White Stencil Pack ) to blend a Shattered Backboard and an Off White custom.

Now that 1 shoe was complete, we had to finish the other. Like the recent Top 3 series, we decided to switch up the toebox color and give the right shoe a completely different, but matching type of vibe. This side also used the Off White stencil pack, but we changed the colorway and laces to look like a completely different shoe. We loved the cream toe so we left the buttery leather as is and simply added some details. The objective was to make 2 shoes look so independent of one another, but blend so well next to one another.

Once the colorways were solidified, we began to define both shoes by detailing them out. Nelson wanted a cartoon sketch style look as we did on the last pair of shoes, so sketch is what he got. Exaggerated swooshes embellish the outside uppers and are tapered off with a lightning bolt look. This is where we take the initiative to come up with something truly special for our clients. Most customizers would be content with the work they have put in at this point. But our client deserves something that he can not only wear, but sentimentally be fond of. Something he can appreciate. This is where smaller details like custom tongue tags, “Detach Before Flexing” hangtag, and custom NOS buttons really count.

Do you remember the first time you were really amped when you got a pair of shoes you really wanted? Think about it, truly give it some thought. How old were you?
Where were you and what was the pair of shoes? Mine were the Karl Malone L.A. Gear Catapults.

That's the feeling that we aim to fulfill. Hope we hit the mark for you Nelson and Happy Birthday brother. “Make Birthdays Great Again”.
