Sole Obsession the video
Before Sole Obsession’s quest to be Singapore’s purveyor of sneaker gatherings and parties, a couple of members joined forces to put together a video that captures this world of sneaker collecting at it’s peak.

“Showcasing the seldom seen and documented, but no less passionate, side of the sneaker collecting subculture, this documentary allows the audince a peek into the world of the true sneaker collectors…no multi-millionaire celebrity sneakerheads here folks. Haunted by the nostalgia and memories of their sneaker past, sneaker collectors go to great lengths to satisfy their insatiable obsession.

This is their craving, their desires, their lives…their Sole Obsession.”

DAMN…how i wish i could own ALL of them, these are my DREAM LIST:

There will be times when people look down on YOU and making constructive comments like “YOU CANNOT MAKE IT…”

WORD OF ADVICE:

Hold your head up HIGH and do whatever it takes to prove those BASTARDS wrong!!! Giving up is definitely not an option…it only makes u a LOSER so to speak … make them “eat†their own words!” For they are just a bunch of JEALOUS F**K!

I think lotsa customisers like myself experienced†lotsa PMs asking for†some advice/tips… now the big question is should YOU help them???

Taking into consideration that not many†have†walked the road†we’ve walked … bashing thru barriers and obstacles to gain valuable†customization knowledge and skills … lotsa money, sweat, blood, rejections, time are spent / wasted during the arduous journey…Will U give in to them???

In my humble opinion, nothing comes easy & free in this world. The BEST way to learn is to learn†thru†the painful and long process…In this way, u will achieve†maximum knowledge/skill…

Initially, I answered to their call…but now come to think of that,†i’ve stopped giving advice …

Feel free to drop COMMENTS†regarding this issue …..

Ever since we started customising shoes, sleeping is definitely not a priority. All† 3 of us, hold a DAY job… Wheneven there are†orders, new customs or an upcoming event, the whole team sleep an average of 4 hrs a day and that includes our weekends. Currently we gathered†a personal record of have†4hrs of sleep daily for 2 whole month (inclusive of weekends).

For my†DAY job, i work in the engineering industry, the MULTI-METER is my BABY! Starting†in the evening†from 6pm till 2am in the morning,†I†worked like a factory worker, †reproducing my custom sneaks to fulfil orders/upcoming projects/events…†

Starting a BRAND is easy,†but maintaining it is TOUGHER than†we thought…BUT i f**kin enjoyed being a factory worker for my sneaks than doing BORING shit in the DAY!

GOD BLESS the kids who worked DAMN bloody hard for this BRAND and hopefully they’ll reap the harvest in the near future…AMEN!

I’ve been a sneakerhead for about 11-12 yrs till now…Back then theres only RNC (penisula), D-corner (bugis area), LEFTFOOT (FAR EAST) in the mid 90’s in spore…..ain’t from rich family…worked off my ass since young to buy sneaks…till date about 100 pairs…these are part of my collections..
