We've always loved the idea of custom sneakers but the barrier has always been the styles available for customization. Adidas has broken out of the pack with the classic Stan Smith (along with over 10 other styles) available through Mi Adidas.com.
As we studied the possibilities in the Dandy and Wit shoe lab, we found the focus to be not how crazy we can make our shoes, but how much we can strip them back.
We visited the Soho store to sit in their custom barber's chairs - replete with Matrix style screens and solid metal keyboards. But, you can also tackle it online.

Sadly, the Adidas stores in the US haven't caught on to the

Shibuya.
