about Royalefam:
Here's where the story begins :
"Once upon a time back in 2003, some guy called Mark Ong sat in his bedroom staring at a pair of all white Air force one's. He thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if I could take this simple, plain white pair and turn it into something entirely new?'
So he took out a paintbrush, mixed up some paints, and began to paint on the rather unlikely new canvas.

The painted shoe was surprisingly appealing and since it couldn't be framed and displayed on a wall, he decided to display it on the internet where it was received with a warm welcome and much love.
And so the first SBTG custom was born. "
It's been seven years since those first SBTG's were created on an Air Force One, and you could say we've come full circle.
SBTG grew from being just a one-man show to becoming a global brand. And Mark Ong expanded from being a solo artist into a design company known as Royalefam.
Sneaker customizing has gone from an obscure hobby to being acknowledged as a legitimate occupation as well as an respected art form. And the industry continues to grow and develop.
and yes,Mark Ong you are definitely my idol!!see you this Sunday,We are very pleased to welcome you to Penang!
