The mighty Adam aka Ghettrocentricity has plenty of deserved e-fame for his sneaker alchemy with his customising/cobbling skills, putting stealthy technology into shoes for visual impact, applying beloved patterns to unlikely sources, magically repairing seemingly-terminal conditions like cracking paint and most dramatically, solving the tragedy disintegrating midsoles with his secret batch of chemicals, tools and potions, leading to a pioneering midsole transplant operation. We've got mad love for the CT adicolor, but while the back in black approach makes it extremely versatile, the suede toe isn't condusive to the gloomy Winter weather. Surely something more resilient would give these bad boys added versatility? How about a shell? It might bring about the tired Neighborhood comparisons, but we're over that.

After Claw presented Adam with his crackpot scheme, Adam didn't bat an eyelid, taking to the task at hand with his usual glee. We've seen the ol' Campus Shelltoe b-boy conversion a few times, but this Century custom is a whole different kettle of fish. After the appropriate black piece to splice was sourced, the package was shipped to Ghettro HQ , where he delivered with ridiculous precision, not harming the Velcro tongue-trading system, and affixing and stitching them to the point where even on close inspection, they look like they were some early factory experiment in combining the Superstar35 and adicolor campaigns. Incredible work from a crazed genius who refuses to rest on his laurels. Just don't get him started on paints and leathers - he could talk about them for days. If you've got a shoe and a vision, holler at the man (www.ghettro.com) via ghettrocentricity@gmail.com
