Kelly Pittman from KP’s Customs in Nova Scotia created these custom Superstars for a friend going by the name McG. The theme of the Color Bar Superstars is the colorful stripes that appear on a TV at the end of a broadcast day. You can search for KP’s Customs on Facebook and email krp25@hotmail.com to find out more about the designer.
KP started out with gray as the backdrop on the back half to let the colors stand out. A TV camera and old television set are depicted against the gray background on the outside of the right shoe. KP switched it up by placing a set of headphones with the name McG on the inside of the left shoe. KP also played around with a microphone and a mix tape on the remaining spaces.

The most notable features of the Color Bar Superstars are the wild colors used on the Adidas stripes and laces. KP switched out the bland tri-stripe with yellow, green and red stripes. The spaces between these stripes are filled with red and sky blue, the latter color matching the eyelets. The designer topped these customs off with some multi-color laces to match the tri-stripe colors.
If you are looking for some sophisticated kicks for everyday use, consider these kicks that are part of the Adidas SLVER Spring/Summer 2009 release. Not your typical Adidas, these shoes have the ultimate flexibility – from the workplace to the club to simply kickin’ it with your friends.
Although this collection features a few different looks, there are a few common themes with clean lines, basic colors and innovative designs.
Additionally, the Adidas logos are kept to the absolute minimum on each version. Expect these kicks to hit flagship Adidas SLVR stores in NYC and Miami relatively soon.
DJ Flexmaster Dee is a prominent Swish DJ and manager of several DJ crews. Sole Brother Customs was tasked with celebrating the man’s work on a pair of Adidas Superstar IIs. I found the Flexmaster Dee Superstars at Sole Brother’s website linked here.
Sole Brother applied logos for Flexmaster Dee’s crews, The Bumsquad DJs and DJ League Europe, on the black and gray heels. Along the exterior sides of both shoes, the designer has created a nice black/white depiction of a turntable arm and record. Flexmaster Dee’s name along with his unofficial title, “The Swiss Heavyweight,” are written in alternating black/white colors just past the middle panel.
The simple colors on the Flexmaster Dee Superstars allow the DJ’s name and logos to speak for themselves. Instead of playing with the bright colors at the dance club, Sole Brother focused on the finer details on these no-nonsense sneakers. DJ Flexmaster Dee’s reputation continues to build as evidenced by the creation of these outstanding custom sneakers.
Sole Brother Customs was asked by a girlfriend for some custom Stan Smiths based on 17th-century Japanese woodcut printing to give to her boyfriend. The Geisha Stan Smith IIs feature an orange/yellow colorway that is employed creatively to showcase a playful geisha on each shoe. You can check out additional information on the Geisha Stan Smith II at the Sole Brother website linked here.
The bright orange cuts across the toe box and emerges again on the heel tag. The backdrop for the heel and middle panel is a subdued yellow hue that breaks when we gaze upon the geisha. The geisha has written the Japanese figure for love as well as the names of the boyfriend and girlfriend on a white background.
My favorite part of the Geisha Stan Smiths is the blooming tree branches that extend outward from the heel and eyelets. The orange flowers look great against the soft yellow background and must have taken a long time to complete. Even though I don’t know the couple in question, it looks like Sole Brother has captured the essence of young love with these custom sneakers.
