Custom New Balance trainers pay homage to Technics 1200's

[Cupe]

Now these are pretty cool. Revive Customs, a hip hop activist (whatever that is?), turntablist and sneaker designer from Brooklyn has customised three pairs of New Balance M1500′s to pay homage to the iconic ex-directory Technics SL1200 MKII turntable.

Let’s talk about this project “New Balance M1500 x Technics SL1200MkII Custom” directed by Revive Custom, Hip Hop activist, painter, turntablist, sneakerhead and footwear designer from Brooklyn NY whom for many years has worken on many Custom Projects.

It is his love for Hip Hop that the concept has emerged, Evan aka Revive Custom pays tribute to the legendary Technics Technics SL-1200′s whose manufacture was ceased in 2010.

The realization of this “Custom” is very neat. Revive Custom slaps the Technics logo on back, runs some dots along the mudguard to mimic the lateral view of that prized equipment, and even flips the 1500 embroidery around to make the transformation complete.

Here are pictures of this project, only 3 pairs have been produced..
