MachineMan Personal Projects Custom

I Run a really off the wall, loud and hard party with my friends called Dark Side of the Boom!

Hand-drew an iconic character for the 2nd flyer, and decided to make a dedicated sneaker in "love".

I also needed to delete some info off my brain, so I needed these for rememberance!

Theyre dubbed the "Dark Side of the Zoom" and done on completely grey Dunk High Samples.

The have not released these samples yet!
