This is the shop that started it all, bringing all the sneaker head together and stuff. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Leftfoot is closing, it's just moving. That's all. Well i'll be sure to miss the old Leftfoot at where it was. #03-98 FarEast Plaza.

a little something about myself

The untold tale

I first started customizing sneakers since 2003. That was the in the beginning when customizing sneakers was starting to get hyped up in forums like NikeTalk.com

I have always been addicted to sneakers since I was a kid. The very first pair I got was a GR dunk low (gray/green with white mid sole and gum sole), which eventually became my first pair of custom. I remember having read this particular post on
niketalk about mixing paints for customs but I did not even have a clue as to where to find those paints. I then began experimenting with whatever sort of paint I had until I discovered my perfect mixture. The first pair of custom was a brown/purple dunk low with black mid sole/gum sole. The swoosh was in brown with the Louis Vuitton monogram on it.

Personally, I am very interested in textile patterns. Camouflage patterns for example are like the lives we lead , interwoven, ever-flowing and interdependent.

"My customs are about creating statements,statements full of passion and self-expression."

In my process, I integerate as much fun and experimentation as possible thus leading me to grow and develop. Through lots and lots of trial and error, I have learnt so much and hope such growth can be appreciated by the audience.
