One of Toronto’s finest sneaker customizers, C. Williams was recently invited to create a series of custom AF1’s for the new and upcoming label, The Story. These shoes will drop later this month and go up for sale at The Story website. Much of what sets C. Williams’ apart from other customizers is the way he goes about his alterations.
