INTERVIEW WITH EDSON

How did you get started in the customs game?
A few years back one of my friends showed me this picture of some customs done by Methamphibian, it was the white and golden yellow AF1 lows and Meth added green around the sneaker and ever since i seen those sneakers i knew i found a new hobby. The first pair of customs i did were white and green AF1 mids it was my tribute to Meth for the inspiration.

Do you do customs on Air Force Ones only?
The majority of my work has been on AF1's but i've also done work on addidas, jordans and dunks.

What's your favorite custom so far? (please provide pic or tell me which one it is)
I have alot of favorites but the one that gets the most attention and is one of my personal favorites would have to be the black and yellow AF1 lows codename: Cobra Venom. I painted the toe area and the side panel golden yellow and i topped it off with some black paint splashed on the toe over the golden yellow.

Any neck-breaking stories while rocking your customs?
I did a pair for a friend of mine and he told me when he wore them he walked into a KFC and the cashier seen him as he was approaching and hopped over the counter to get a closer look while other customers were waiting in line, he was so mesmerized at the detail he couldn't believe his eyes.

What kind of paint do you use?
I use an acrylic paint that i mix with other mediums to give it flexibility to prevent it from hardening and cracking (I experiment alot), I also add a mixture that helps the paint to adhere to the surface of the sneaker.

Would you rather get a deal with Nike like Remix Da Kickz or stay independent like Methamphibian?
Right now i would love to get a deal with Nike. As far as the independent thing i'ts cool but i just need a way to get my sneakers seen everywhere like Meth's joints.

Have you ever done customs for celebrities?
I haven't done a pair for any celebrities as of yet cause i ain't connected like that but if the chance should present itself you can believe i'm going to hook something up crazy.

What makes you stand out from other customizers?
I don't move backwards, meaning if i did a pair before in the past i'm not gonna do the same thing for somebody else. That's the whole reason of having customs. You want to own something that you know for yourself that nobody else has.

What do you think will be the next trend in customs?
I don't know what the next trend in customs are going to be but if i did know i wouldn't say until i got my customs out there. As far as myself i'm just going to try to outdo myself on every new pair i do.

Any last words?
No ideas are original everything has been done before we just customize it to make it look better. Oh yeah and FREE CASPER LOPES!!!
