I came up with the idea behind these sneakers about a year ago while at work. There was bad equipment around and i came across a "Tag Out" sign. Just than it hit me.... I knew what my next Hot custom sneaker was going to be. Simulating a broken down 1930's Clark fork lift, my color scheme was pretty simple, Yellow. To apply the concept of the Tag Out sign, I envisioned a machine broken down in nee
d of severe repair. And this was my broken down fork lift idea. I still had no plan or layout, just an visionary image in my mind of what it all should look like.
Pushing my skill i wanted to completely do these shoes off the top of my head with just this blurry image i had thought the out come should look like. Using a technique id never done i wanted to have a Rustic look and Feel to the shoes. This would accomplish my beat down and "in need of repair" look i was going for. Doing a bit of research, I came across the perfect machine that resembled my vision. The 1935 LT-35 Fork Lift. Most images I found of this beast was all beat up and weather Rusted. I took mental note of the decals and badges worn on it from that time and i was ready for action.
