Concept of Varsity Bones

It was 2008: the year of the dunk. Nike sent us a custom-made locker with 7 vintage dunks in it. But there were 8 compartments. There was a space to be filled.

SBTG Custom Kicks came about from a love of these vintage Dunks, which has inspired many of our best works and this is our way of honoring the original legends. To fill in the void with a series of dunks based on the underdog. Teams made up of the overlooked, the dismissed and the forgotten

To those that play the game differently, dress different and refuse to conform to rules or tradition.
That spirit’s still alive and kicking.

SBTG presents a rebellious interpretation of the traditional college basketball style: The best team that never made it to the league.

We are the Varsity Bones.

I think this was the first ever pair of Air Max’s that I painted on. I must say that I enjoyed it and it made me appreciate the sneaker more.

It is a sneaker that looks tech but it still retains the old skool values. A silhouette that is as classic as the Air force 1.

The Air Max 90 allows me slightly more room for expression than the dunk (which I thought was already perfect) with many more panelling systems to play around with and discover.

This is still one of my favorite pairs of Air max 90s.
