SBTG BASICS: MILITARISM DEBUT COLLECTION

SBTG — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:47:00 +0000

After seven years of creating over-the-top and off-the-hook customs, SBTG is going back to basics. Kicking off 2010 is a new permanent range with the maiden release based around the classic white Air Force 1. Spurred by requests for custom designs that were low-key enough for everyday wear but classic enough to wear with a suit, the result is SBTG BASICS.

The debut Militarism collection features a choice of different signature SBTG camouflage prints on the swoosh: Tiger-stripe Saigon, German Flectarn, tribal Rival, game-hunting Hunter, and desert Choc on a white, silver, gold or red base, all with a pristine white tongue. Each of the 20 different variations includes a discreet SBTG logo on the outer side of the toe and comes with a set of gold lace buckles. Priced at $289 for white bases and $329 for color bases.

Nike ID Iphone App

SBTG — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:18:20 +0000

It has been in our minds for the longest time to come out with our SBTG(ID) program for our website and possibly an iphone app for the past year where customers are able to customize their own color way and add their personal touch to it. Half way through working with the program, our programmer got stuck and we aren’t able to come out with the result. We would be glad to receive help if you have the expertise in this project we are working on! Do contact us at info@royalefam.com should you be interested in developing this with us!

SBTG “Toxic Revenge” by Ivan

SBTG — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:06:32 +0000

As part of the internship program at the SBTG Academy, a masterpiece was create by 20 year old Ivan Prasetya.

Having assisted on the production of many Chuck Taylor customs, Ivan’s next step was to venture his craft into a dunk using mixed mediums. As a quick and diligent learner with an unspoken desire to learn, Ivan was very quick to master clean lines and very smooth surfaces. Patience is one of his traits, and it really shows in his work.

Ivan successfully designed a digital mockup on Photoshop at his first week in using the graphic software. Basing his design from the SBTG x Methamphibian “Psychoholic Slag” Dunk hi from the Skulls of Saigon series, he switched up the pattern work to his favorite animal print and filled in the cracks with his very own character design named “Kecebong” in a toxic color palette. Having drawn his alter ego for 2 years with a marker, he got over the fear of expressing it through paint and brush on a 3D surface and nailed it at the first try. The work is of high quality and detail, almost print like.

And to ice his cake, he decided to drape the rear with a matte black studded selvage denim cloak. The final product left him extremely satisfied with pride and new realm of possibilities. He is ready for his next shoe!

You guys better be ready for the next Kaws.

SBTG “Model 995″ by JART

SBTG — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:59:45 +0000

As part of the internship program at the SBTG Academy, a masterpiece was create by 18 year old Jason Lim aka JART.

As soon as the “wax on, wax off” training of prepping and base coating is sufficient, the next training of choice for him was pattern painting.

Having a young & dangerous attitude towards his pattern of choice, he took up the bold challenge of an “untouched” pattern in our history books. The Royalefam signature vine pattern which was derived from the Romanian Parsilia camouflage.

The first try was done on a “test pair” AF1 in black and white so that any beauty or flaws are just screaming at you. Side A was amazing, on point, done in the way that was instructed. Side B was when he got a lil over confident (in a good way) and went freestyle. We sat down and had a chat about it, and both of us learned something new. I learned a very good way to teach my boys and Jason learned about discipline and respect in craft.

Being ready to take on a full shoe, Jason took on the SBTG experience designing his own shoe and painting it all on his own. The end product, titled “Model 995″ turned out to be a classic, armored with sterling silver walls, a tonal “Parsilian” frame and topped up with a perfectly done gradient swoosh.

In his own words, “I’m gonna be the next SBTG” So watch out.

SBTG — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:41:12 +0000

Last week, SBTG (Mark Ong) travelled to Auckland for the launch party of the DC x Royalefam Circus of Mutants collection. SBTG was also there to judge the skateboard art competition, and presented the overall prize to GaryGrouch. He walked away with a DC prize pack, along with a thousand dollars, and a custom one-off, hand painted kicks by SBTG. Lucky man he is, that pair of hand-painted one-offs are to die for, you’ll see what I mean when you see the pictures below.

The launch party would never have been possible without the hard work put in by the good people at DC Shoes and Loaded NZ. And in case you’re itching to get your hands on the Circus of Mutants collection, it’ll be available in January 2010. But do check out the microsite at http://www.dcshoes.com/sbtg/ to find out more!
