Greetings all.

With the new year approaching we are making new changes. The Dassler Rebellion name is gone and we are opting for Rebellion Customs.

We are still gonna give love to Adidas and we plan to expand more into the shoe library we did dabble on other pairs as well as tackle clothing, but the Stan Smith became our popular shoe of choice for most heads. So with that and a new photography studio to mess around with. We present some of the old and some of the new.

Baltimore






The Marvins Ver3






The Lady PitBull (*womens shoe)






Oscar & Grundgetta "Trashy to Classy"

Dr B,

I just love those Oscar the Grouch ones!!!
Would be ideal for me as I claim the Mr Happy adidicolor stuff I wear is part of my "Sarcastic Wardrobe", Oscar could be the "Real" me!!

How much in a UK 12 / US 12.5????

Dr Bibble.

Would it be impertinent of me to ask how generate this finery ?
Is it a mix of brush and airbrush work ?
Are you using Acrylic and medium or some other fantasmagorical painty substance ?
Tell me to go fuck a goat if you wish.
You get nowhere in life without asking these things.

[Dr Bibble]

The formula is simple. The work we do is hand painted, but we tackle the method differently. I went to school for animation. I majored in traditional animation. If you have ever seen any of the behind the scenes on how they paint animation cells you pretty much have the method there. All of the people in my camp are hardcore artists, graf, painting, cartooning etc. We just took the methods and carried it over. Some have argued it's paint by numbers hack job, but I'm sure if you came at one of the artists that worked on a movie like Akira they would disagree. Bruce Lee said it best, "Absorb what is useful." We did and thats the finished product. We are glad you like them. Thank you much.

Painting by numbers it might be to some but the finished article speaks for itself.
If you tried to produce those results in a freehand, freestyle manner they would pale by comparison.
Your shit is far and away the best I have seen, bar none.
The Baltimores and the Marvins are fuckin' rude fella.
People gonna have to raise their game methinks.

[stylz]

I just gotta say it again, dude I love your work.

[mr.pure]

Why thank you !



Oh, you're talking to Dr Bibble.

Very high quality, the artwork is excellent and the finish very good too.

However...

I can't help but think this isn't really much of a custom job? It's essentially just buying a pair of white trainers and painting a picture on them.

There's no attempt to change the substance of the shoe with effects done on the leather or deconstruction of the shoe and rebuild in a different material etc. Nor much attempt to use the shape and nature of the shoe to dictate the style of the artwork.

I'm not trying to be negative cos like I say the standard of the artwork is very high but it's not really a custom shoe in my eyes.

That's gonna be inflammatory as fook I just know it

[Dr Bibble]

Well, I understand what you are saying as far as the physical work on the shoe. The cutom in a sense is a CUSTOM paint job. Look at it like this. If someone gives you a tattoo is that not custom job? Or on a car or motorcycle.
I feel and totally respect your views on that, but I still see it as a custom working. Thanks for the props fellas. All in all we try to flip something fresh for the eyes.
Much love.

[mr.pure]

For my two cents, it is customising as you are changing the appearance of the shoe entirely.
It's irrelevant to me that the materials haven't been changed.
