Fellow Fiends, I would like to introduce to you Sink or Swim customs. Jill Forie founder and creator of Sink or Swim has been making waves with her cutting edge and artistic customs.

Looking for customs in Cali?

Back in February when I was down in Los Angeles, I was strolling down Melrose and discovered a super dope custom shop. Break Your Neck Urban Customs is located at 7552 Melrose Avenue and has catered to the design wishes of A-list celebs and sneakerheads alike.

Founder/CEO/Artist Michael Norice was cool enough to let me take some photos in his shop. The BYN crew rolls about 10 deep and they'll customize pretty much anything you desire. Not only did they have some seriously dope kicks and tees on display, they've also been blingin' up Munny Dolls with crystals.

Here's a video featuring some more work the BYN crew has done. Peep those ODB joints. Fire!!!



Special thanks to Michael Norice! Be sure to check out http://www.byncustoms.com/ for more photos and info!

I haven't done lights for a while and had been wanting to do another pair consisting of some. My friend Joe Stiletto has a store LIPKIND'S Shoes in my neighborhood of The Bronx which is the #1 retailer of exotic clothing and shoes. He wanted to support the FETTi movement as well as get something HOT to add extra flavor to the store..THANKS JOE!
