That Funky Monki

On the street, in your school, and almost everywhere are Brass Monki Custom Shoes. These new, trendy shoes are rising in popularity, with different designs all made on one Nike Dunk sneaker.

 Launched in June 2009 by Daniel Reese, the website was merely a portfolio of a few shoes Reese created with Adobe Photoshop in his free time. It wasn't long after that the site was featured in magazines and blogs like Loaded, Susana, Kotaku, CNBC, and G4tv. Soon he stopped making the shoes as a hobby and made it into a full time career. Brass Monki also makes several designs, also accepting requests for designs wanted by the customers. Shoe design categories include video games, comics, TV shows, movies, and even shoes based off social networking services like Twitter and Facebook. Shoes range from £100 to as high as £450 (more than $600). Although the shoes are expensive, they are definitely worth each cent.
