The work of a shoe customizer not only requires an abundance of creativity to reimagine a silhouette into something better than the original, but also a deft hand to render those visions in the flesh. The Shoe Surgeon affirms his capabilities in both those fields in this behind-the-scenes video, where he detaches the upper of a Vans Old Skool before combining it with an Air Force 1 sole to create a very desirable chimera of a sneaker in collaboration with ROKIT. Check out the ROKIT x The Shoe Surgeon “Off The Court” sneakers online here, and don’t miss this look at his pop-up at Nice Kicks’ new Downtown LA store.
