The inspiration? 10 years of archival material and the formative inspirations of Mr. & Mrs SBTG. What then transpires is a discovery of a new journey for the next decade of SBTG.
SBTG was created in 2003 by Singaporean artist Mark Ong.
Fuelled by his need to create a new look of sneakers, Mark started his career as a hobby sneaker painter, working out of his parents' kitchen.
His first claim to fame came after he won a sneaker customizing competition on the Nike Talk Forum. His winning submission gained massive attention
from the sneaker industry, and SBTG instantly became a name synonymous with the art of sneaker customization.
Since then, SBTG has been invited to commission designs for
sneaker industry giants like Nike, DC shoes and New Balance.
The most notable was 2006's Asia-exclusive release of the Nike SBTG SB Dunk which drew overnight crowds region wide and sold out within an hour of launch in every country it sold in.
SBTG sneaker customs have attracted the likes of Kobe Bryant, Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn of Linkin Park, James Lavelle, and Q-tip just to name a few.
