A custom is a shoe that has been modified according to your own wishes. The possibilities are endless. You can either paint the sneaker or take it apart and add a different material. Some people also combine a certain upper with the sole of another model in a custom. There are almost no limits to "customizing" and you can try out anything that is technically feasible.
