Blackburn + Sweetzer Has Moved

‘Heath Ledger Joker’ by Mache275

First off, clearly The Red House Interiors has left its 372 North La Cienega Boulevard space. Apparently that happened December 1, that’s per Mike Miscannen (aka sneaker customizer Jest3R), who’s taken over the shop through December 27 (daily 12pm-7pm) with his ‘Clash of the Customizers‘ exhibit, the result of an online bracket-style contest, which brought together 28 sneaker customizers worldwide.

Voters from the public and industry peeps cast their ballots with YoaKustoms‘ (aka Amanda Yoakum) ‘Chinese Takeout‘ taking the title. There are about 75 sneakers on display (about 15-20 have been sold), lots of pairs (painted, reconstructed, inspired by everything from Psycho to Adult Swim) starting at $100 via silent auction.

Selections from the exhibit, from ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’ to The Hundreds to Hitchcockian inspiration….
