  • Custom Stan Smiths for a 21st Birthday

    There are many ways to celebrate your 21st birthday that don’t involve drinking and partying. I am sure that the designer Briezrs had his fair share of fun on his 21st but he gave himself the gift of custom sneakers ahead of time. He designed the custom Adidas Stan Smiths pictured in this post as a gift to celebrate his budding career.

    Briezrs did not go overboard with color and the resulting Stan Smiths are clean and cool. There are simple black lines set against white leather that look like anonymous dancing figures from a certain distance. The designer created this effect with motion lines around each figure. Briezrs added a trendy touch to these Stan Smiths with Chinese lettering on both heels.

    These Stan Smiths look fantastic and I hope that Briezrs shares his gift of custom design with sneaker fans well into the future. I hope he shows the same balance of innovation and restraint on future projects as he works on new projects.
