I'm the customizer known as 'MACHE'. I'm just a guy who combines my love of art and sneakers....and got real lucky. Below are just a few examples of some works for both customers and myself. They are merely pictured to give you a general idea of my capabilities with a brush. If any of them inspire you, just say the word and I'll make a crazy pair just for you that will snap every neck on your block sideways. The only limit to my designs is what is in your imagination. So if you have the idea, I'm confident that I can translate it into a one of a kind piece of art.

HOW DO I ORDER CUSTOMS AND WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED?
You will need to PM or email me the following:
a) Shoe Make/ Model/ Size ……preferably 1-3 types of shoes so I may have options. Some shoes are seasonal….for example, Air Force 1’s.
b) Colors you like.
c) Images….good quality JPGS are perfect.
d) Ideas you have about the way you want your shoe to look.
e) All the contact information you can provide.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET SHOES CUSTOMIZED?
The price varies according to the complexity of the job, and the time and materials required to complete the job. Prices can range between $120 to $500+. (Note- prices do not include actual shoes or shipping)
Remember: Price point matches quality….i.e.…You get what you pay for!
DO YOU PROVIDE THE SHOES TO BE CUSTOMIZED?
I prefer that the customer supplies the shoe, but if it is not possible for the customer to attain a certain base shoe and I can get it, I will for the right price of course....
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Once I have the shoes in my possession, it takes 2-3 weeks to complete and make ready to ship out. Turnaround is also subject to season ordered. You will be notified when the shoes are shipped and you will get your tracking number.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
I prefer PayPal, Postal Money Orders, and Cash (although I do not advise you send cash through the mail.)
HOW ARE THE SHOES SHIPPED?
Customer is responsible for shipping and handling costs. I ship everything USPS Priority Mail with Tracking. Customer may also provide additional postage or request alternative shipping.
DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONAL?
Yes, I can ship anywhere in the world where a plane can land!
ARE THE SHOES ON THIS SITE FOR SALE?
No, but I can replicate a past job but I would much rather collaborate with you to come up with something new that we'll both like.
If these didn't help...email me : gamache_dj@yahoo.com

Mache, it's been a while. I need those Joker (why so serious) sneakers- hit me up! P.S. I don't think you ever took a picture of your last job for me....
Some of you may know about these upcoming shows already, but I'm letting you know again to give you ample enough time to mark your calenders. I'm gonna have custom pieces in these shows. I feel blessed to even have my work showcased next to some of the talent that will also be part of the event. Some of these artists are reallllly good! So... if your into this type of shit, come check it out!
I would like for you to paint the President's plane AF1 on several pair of Nike AF1's, but the unique thing is that I'm going to remove the swoosh and sew on leather airplanes with the sticking out from the side of the sneaker. Here is a picture of my proto-type on a pair of Nike Cortez. I'll furnish the pictures and colors of the President's plane. Thank You & God Bless LUGA
Hey Mache just passing by to give you props for your work.... You're one of the finest out there and i love to study your work!! I added some new pics of my work recently, so if you had a minute to check it out and leave some words...that'd be great!!
One more thing, how do you make it to keep the paint on the midsoles? i've seen you on hypebeast saying your midsoles and soles never crack up.... Maybe that's too much of a question for a first comment....ha! Anyway, PROPS FROM SEVILLA!!!
