Michael Jackson Custom Sneakers - Tribute to the King of Pop

biz@pimpmykicks.com (PimpMyKicks.com) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:19:01 +0000

We made these custom sneakers strictly as a tribute. This was not an order or anything requested by a customer but just our way of saying Rest In Peace to the King of Pop. You have probably noticed the difference between shoes that we do just to showcase our depth versus custom sneaker orders from customers (artwork on both the outside AND inside of the kicks. I’d say over 60 hours of work went into these custom kicks and multiple artists worked on them.

Michael Jackson Tribute Custom Sneakers

We set out to give a summary of MJ’s musical career on one pair of kicks so you will see images of Mike as a child and all the way up to how we last remembered him. Every time you look at these shoes you will discover small things we did to tribute the King of Pop from album covers to famous pictures of him, to bezzle bumps added on his jacket on down to his infamous socks being incorporated into the inside of the shoe!

Enjoy and share the pics. We are very proud to share this design!!
R.I.P Mike!!

Michael Jackson Tribute Custom Sneakers

We did an interview with the Artists that worked on these, enjoy!

Pmk: What sets these custom sneakers apart from other jobs you’ve done in the past?

Switz: Aside from this being my first time featured on pimpmykicks.com, the King of Pop customs gave me a chance to display a quality of work that is unmatched by even the elite custom shoe artists in the game. One thing about Mike is that he believed in the power of his own talent and always strived to be the best at his craft. So we used Mike’s attitude to design pair of shoes that are less about being fresh and more about being the best. Right now I feel like the Michael Jackson of painting feets. Haha

Pmk: Where did the idea for the design come from?

Jrow: I reached out to Swiddle to collaborate on the project because I wanted to design the next big pair of custom shoes that could measure up to the quality of the Joker customs. First, we both agreed that we wanted to make them bright and colorful just to attract more eyes, like Mike always did. After that we each researched some images that we thought could represent our own response to Michael’s work. We took the outer-space theme from the game and ran with it then put the Born 2 Shine touch on them by splashing the strings and painting the box.

Switz: Threw some glitter in there along with the dots and painted the insole as well. These are far from your typical custom job. We also made it an issue to show the many different stages of his career to commemorate his life as an entertainer and celebrated philanthropist.

Pmk: How long did they take to complete?

JRow: You know one day we sat down and we actually had to wrap our minds around doing a pair of feets to celebrate Michael. I wasn’t going to put our name on anything that wasn’t the real deal. We spent a good 52 total hours on the pair over a little less than a week. Understand, this is my full-time job.

Pmk: What’s the price tag on the King of Pop customs?

Switz: I think we’re holding off on that for now. I’m eager to see what kind of response they get. We’re really trying to show people we’re the best of the best.

Pmk: So how soon can you top the King of Pop customs?

JRow: If you think thats the best we got, you better think twice. We’ve done like 15 pairs since then and none of them are whack. So when they hit the net, the people can judge for themselves. If you find someone better, let me know.

R.I.P Michael Jackson

Mike did such a great job of convincing me that he was Peter Pan that I think i believed he would never die. Let’s take a moment to pay tribute to the greatest performer of all time and more important, a great guy that taught us all that the kid in us does not have to die.

The legendary pop star suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon, and when paramedics arrived at his Beverly Hills home he wasn’t breathing and they were unable to revive him.

Michael is survived by three children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

Nerd Love

So we have a new section on PimpMyKicks called Geeks & Sneeks which is where we’ll post random geek stuff…don’t worry, the kicks will keep coming!

First up, installing Mac OS X on a Asus Eee Pc 1000 series < CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO >….we spent a day on this one and gave up on trying to do it without using an external dvd drive so while it is not impossible to boot/install off of a usb drive, why make things harder on yourself?

The end result is shown in the video and we still are troubleshooting the sound, wifi and ethernet drivers…everything else on our hackintosh is working like a charm…Check the video and if people are looking for tutorials, well we’ll come back to this with more details.
