The Thriller MV brought about an unprecedented progression in music video production. It was 14 minutes of sheer genius that set the benchmark. SBTG felt the same and decided to replicate that same desire to transcend and in honor to the man, they took that iconic red jacket from the video and moulded it into this pair. You know it’s evil the evil Thriller. Don’t resist.

Shrouded in mystery and controversy the ‘Blacks’ represented the very darkest color of humanity subversiveness was ingrained, rebellion necessitates change and violence brought justice. Ride the wind whatever happens was a belief and we delivered from there.

We are cooking up a storm in our kitchen. The Bar has been raised once again. Here is a sneak peak of our Varsity Bones Collection. On guard!
Well local shoe customizer and international shoe custom icon SBTG has always brought the game to the table. In a world laden with would-be customizers and pretenders to the throne, there are few that have truly captured the respect of the GLOBAL sneaker community.
With a design principle centered around rock n roll, rebellion and disregard for the rules, we have all come to expect a whole new level of modifications to every shoe he produces.
More recently, we wrote about a custom he collaborated with Supra on, and well, how few have ventured to do such a custom shoe. Now, we bring you news of another model in which really lives up the standards set by the man himself. Introducing SBTG’s twist on the iconic Chuck Taylor Hi Top.
As an avid follower of the craftsmanship of SBTG, seeing these kicks compelled me to write about them. I loved the Varsity Bones collection and salivated over OPIVY dunks of recent vintage, but nothing touches my heart like the Chucks.
Totally embracing the punk/rebel culture of past, the Sex & Violence Chucks come in two colurways: The Leopard and Army. Complete with studded panels, rips along the main body, grunge style midsoles/toecaps, it was love at first sight for me when I saw these. Finishing the whole shoe off were custom lace zippers and frankenstein like stitching. How can you not think back to the days of the Ramones and The Who after seeing these sick kicks?
After the emergence of the Sex & Violence Chucks, what now will SBTG wow us with next? We can only wait and see as he and his crew do their magic on new kicks to be unleashed on the sneaker world. Meanwhile all those who are interested in purchasing these sick shoes or other SBTG customs, please feel free to do so at their online store here, or visit Warped as we too have a pair of his past released skeleton comrade Dunks in store too.
While we are working hard to have our Sabotage(id) set up as soon as possible, we have came out with a trial run for one of our Interns who have been helping us out with pure passion. Here is what she has came out with. We are still working on the software aspects to have this workout for everyone so keep the creative juice flowing!
The Event was a huge success on September 5th. The crowd was great, the music was impactful and a big shout outs to all who came by and support this operation and also to Butter Factory for letting us host this event over their club.
Saturday September 5th will be the Official launch of the first time ever collaboration with 3x DMC Champion INQUISITIVE at the Butter Factory In Singapore.
Our very own local boys, DJ Inquisitive and SBTG have come together and produced a very special limited-edition sneaker honoring the late and great Michael Jackson.
“MJ was the reason I got interested in music in the first place.” says DJ Inquisitive.
“When Leon first approached me to collaborate on a custom design, I searched for a theme to represent his passion in music. Then when the news suddenly broke about MJ’s tragic departure, I knew we would pay tribute to him since both of us grew up listening to him.” explains SBTG.
The “Thriller” custom converse is inspired by the legendary Thriller video and its theme of unleashing the beast within us, featuring SBTG’s new claw-rip design.
