Revive Customs: New Balance 1200

I've been an avid turntablist as long as i've been a painter. (I was 13 when i picked up my first set of decks) The Technics/Panasonic brand recently discontinued the Technics SL-1200's. I made a mini-series (3 pairs) of shoes that would pay respect to the brand and DJ across the globe.

These are super clever! I love the simple design. Those "dots" must have made you crazy after a while heh.

I really hope these get the exposure they deserve. I'd love to see them up in a DJ magazine or somethin.

A favorite from you to date I think.
