Frequently asked questions
The first thing we’ll need is a brief describing what you are looking for. This can include the base shoe you are wanting to use, a design idea (if you don’t have one don’t worry! We can help with this) along with a deadline if you have one. Any information on the project you can share will be helpful to us! We can then start mocking some designs up for you and once you’re happy with the design the order can be placed and the team can begin creating your customs!
Yes, we provide mock ups for you to approve before customising for a non refundable deposit of £30. This deposit will then be deducted from your final payment when you place your order.
Yes, we can absolutely work to quick turnaround times. Turnaround times are completely dependent on base shoe option & design. If you have a tight deadline please enquire and we can advise.
Our customs are costed based on how long it takes one of our artists to complete an order. The cost will vary from one custom to another. If you have a budget in mind please advise us on this and we can create a design to align with your budget.
There is no minimum or maximum order quantity. As a team of 12, we can create 1 of 1 customs as well as fulfilling large scale orders.
Netflix
In honour of the new Netflix movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ Netflix asked us to create a custom pair of New Balance 550s using a 4.5 billion year old meteorite.

Google x ellesse
We worked with Google to create 130 pairs of customs for a campaign promoting their new Google Image Search function.
