Krazy Bear
Clothing & Kicks
By: Melissa Stewart

What do you expect from a guy with over sixty pair of kicks? A die hard sneaker fiend is what you
get and Edgar Herrera is prepping to tear up the bay area with his creative hand designed shoes.
Only two years into the sneaker hustle, banging out a few custom kicks a week is already bringing
a steady clientele.
Named after his toddler son Jayden ‘Bear’ Herrera, Krazy Bear Kicks, is Herera’s way of paying
homage to the love of his life and the grind behind his hustle.
“Being successful for my kid is why I keep doing this.” Edgar says. “When I was in school, everybody
was wearing the same thing. I didn’t want to be like everyone else. That is boring. So when I started
painting my shoes, kids were offering me money for my shoes, so I started making them for other
people.”
Coming from an artistic background, Edgar’s dad and brothers all have an eye for artistic expression.
Drawing was something that was an inherent trait.
“My older brother actually went to school to study art and I even took art classes when I was
younger.” recalls Edgar.
So what do you get with Krazy Bear Kicks? Wild bright colors that stand out and make a statement.

The Dirty Souf Yankee
Christina Mallas
By: Isaac kuhlman
Sneaker freaks across America might bite their tongues after saying it, but
they should all say a little “thanks” in their head to the VH1 music channel.
That’s right, VH1. Without their Hip-Hop Honors week, there might not
be a designer like Christina Mallas. In October of 2006, there happened
to be a custom shoe design contest that she decided to enter.
“They said all materials were being provided, including sneakers, so I was
like ‘Why not?” said Mallas.
She won in the category of “Best Color.” This boost of confidence spring-
boarded her decision to go on and start her own career as a designer,
photographer, and promoter.
She decided to start designing from then on. Since then, she has put
her DSY (Dirty Souf Yankee) stamp on just about everything that can be
painted. She puts a female’s touch on her designs as well. Not afraid
to give anything a try, Mallas is customizing everything from sneakers to
shirts to hats to high heels—yes ladies, heels. With so many custom shoe
designers out there, it is hard to stick out, and Mallas is looking to make
a big splash with both genders. Mallas makes everything unique by using
the pop-est of color combinations, and the graffiti-like artwork is street
essential. Or to quote her personal adage, “You can’t get fresh until you
get dirty.”
Mallas works with many underground artists/rappers/singers (especially
out of New York) including Darq, Saigon, Young Hot Rod, Shauna Danielle,
and Steph Jones to name a few. She attends many local hip-hop and
fashion shows, and makes appearances at other events that incorporate
fashion, music and culture. Of course, all of this does not keep Mallas
busy enough as she also does her own photography and models her own
designs. She is always busy promoting her line as well. In fact, DSY is a
one-woman production.
Pictures available on her website http://www.myspace.com/dsy, prove
that Mallas is a very talented artist. Fixing up shoes like Reebok Classics,
Air Force 1’s, Chuck Taylor’s, or what is known to some in the business
as the “standards” is just the beginning of the road. As one travels
further through the site, snapshots of trucker hats, which are graphically
enhanced to the point they may actually blow the mind that is beneath the
cap, begin to surface. Jewelry, bras, boots, hoodies, pants, and even the
s h o e b ox e s g e t c u s t o m i z e d . Wh a t m o r e c a n a p e r s o n
ask of a designer?
Mallas can literally be found “in da club” rocking her fashions. To get
an itinerary of any public appearances she might make just check her
website. Mallas has been involved with other companies such as Amount
Entertainment, S. Vision Entertainment, and What’s Poppin through her
photography and promotional abilities. She is quickly solidifying herself in
the urban culture scene of various genres, and it all started with a quirky
little contest on a corporate television network. Who would
have guessed?

THE GIRLS BEHIND KING OF SNEAKERS CUSTOM FOOTWEAR
PROVE THEY CAN RUN WITH THE BIG BOYS

KING OF BY: ERIN GUERNSEY

SNEAKERS The girls who created King of Sneakers Custom Footwear are determined to
change the stereotype that men are the dominating force behind the custom

CUSTOM
sneaker industry. Adriana Gutierrez and Sarai Morales began taking an
interest in sneakers back in the 1980s and in 2002 they decided to form King
of Sneakers Custom Footwear. The girls handle every aspect of the business
from painting the sneakers to marketing and public relations.

According to Gutierrez, King of Sneakers Custom Footwear designs “urban
art fashion for the hip-hop nation.” All of the custom sneakers the girls produce
are hand painted with detailed designs over the front of the shoe. They are
able to use any color requested even though Gutierrez admits red and yellow
tend to be the most difficult to work with. In the past they have customized
sneakers with everything from portraits to corporate products. Their most
popular designs include “UGK PIMP-C Forever Sneakers” and “The Kanye
West Sneaker.”

“We are not limited by opinions of what is in season or a trend,” said Gutierrez
when asked what she liked most about designing. “Instead of being in a
gallery it is walking art that can be enjoyed by the masses.”

In the future the girls will begin making collectors series sneakers including
a “Rip Collection” that will feature sneaker designs of such artists as Tupac,
Eazy E and Big Pun. They will also move into customizing clothing as well as
women’s shoes, which will include heels and boots.

Celebrities such as Wyclef Jean, Bun B, Bishop Lamont and Too Short as
well as many underground artists have all purchased sneakers from King
of Sneakers Custom Footwear. To purchase your own pair of customized
sneakers from the girls that are rocking the industry visit their website at www.

YoungTalent
“Straight crack for sneaker fiends,” these are the five words Caszzie Gary uses to describe his custom kicks. Gary is a
designer originally from the Chicago area and now lives in South Bend, Indiana. He has been working on his designs
for about two years, and he picked up the passion because he also wanted to be original.

“In high school I always had the newest kicks when they came out. Then everyone started to get the same shoes. So
I had to think of a different way to stand out,” Gary says.

Gary has been working with a clientele that he has built mostly from the computer age via networks such as Myspace.
His customers include Young Hot Rod and JR Writer, a couple of young artists who Gary hopes to propel into further
success.

Looking into the future, Gary looks to have enough success through his work to eventually take care of his family, and
though he knows it is difficult work, he looks forward to all the benefits that his hard work can provide.

He does work with other canvases (not just shoes). As of now, his website (http://www.myspace.com/tha_king87)
does not contain any photos or links to his other work, but he does work with hats, purses, shirts, wallets, and basically
anything he can get his hands on. On the same website you can see his work with some excellent footwear including
some Nike Air Max 90’s, Air Jordan 8’s, Nike Air Force 1’s, Chuck Taylor Converse All-Stars, and some Adidas’
Superstars as well. The designs range from just a few brush-up highlights to accentuate the already-great footwear to
the full-on graphic to make the shoes one-of-a-kind and original.

Of all the shoes he has worn or designed, Gary’s favorite shoes are the Air Jordan VIII’s and the Air Jordan XII’s. These
are obvious classics in the sneaker world, and a huge part of a lot of young people’s lives over the last 15 years. Look
for this young designer to really step up to the next level. With luck, his shoes may end up on feet all across America.
