Pats 83 aka Champate Custom Sneakers
I started customizing 3/4 years ago. I started it to get more individual and exclusive Sneakers. First I heard about it in Complex Magazin and I bought some Methamphibian and SBTG Kicks.
I was thinking aout that and decide to make my own ones. So I started to do this. The label is Pats83 and I’m working with the Name Champate. Some words on my psydonym Champate:
The first part is Cham - it is from Chameleon, because this reptile arrange itself to his environment, like I do it with the shoes for their owners. The second part is pate - it is from pupate, the process of eruca becoming a butterfly. It is like the process the base model becomes an individual custom shoe.
I’m open for personal orders. Just send me a mail and we sort everthing out. If you have some ideas you want tell them to me, but you have to undestand that there will be personal influences, because I want to “tell a story” with my shoes and so it is very important to me that everybody sees that this shoe is made by me. As you see on my models much things a possible and there are many more things to make.
Just ask me! You will get a blueprint, so we can figure out, if you like it or we have to make some changes.
I’m also open for orders by stores and shops - small series of a pair or something like that. All shoes are original, but they are customized by myself!!!
And I have no special style to make my shoes. I just want to tell a story with my shoes like interprating poetry - it is ART!
