Can you believe it's already 2014? Hell one month is pretty much already over. How did last year end up for you as a sneakers customizer? Have you already planned your scheme to take over the custom sneaker scene in '14?

Listen to the latest Custom Sneaker Chronicles podcast as myself, Mike of RedRibbonRecon and Manny aka emmanueLabor share our overall thoughts on last years customs, who stood out, what we expect to see in 2014, and what the choice of a base shoe can do for your customizing efforts. As well Mike and Manny chime in with their opinion of my Most Memorable Custom Sneakers of 2013 post.
