Nike Lebron 10 “Christmas” Gas Mask
This December marked my 2nd year visiting 8 and 9 in Miami for Art Basel. Folks who came out to our events got to see new masks first hand, including the Toro IV “Bulls” gas mask (unreleased), Lebron X “Cork” gas mask, Lebron 11 “King’s Pride” gas mask (unreleased) and the Lebron X “Christmas” gas…
Nike Lebron X (10) ‘Cork’ Gas Mask
When it comes to masks it’s hard not to look at them from an anthropological viewpoint. We should take into consideration the roles they’ve played in our culture and development as humans. In many cultures masks are ceremonial and shrouded in secrecy. Masks were believed to not only to represent spirits but to encapsulate them….
Air Jordan VI (6) “Black Infrared” Gas Mask
Masks serve a number of functions, possibly more than ever in modern society. They have breathed life into ceremonies and performances since the ancients. A mask can instill fear, disguise a criminal or cover a surgeon’s mouth. Masks not only obscure a physical identity but can also express identities unseen. The sneaker masks I’ve created…
Double Up: Two New Jordan Masks by Freehand Profit
Ok, I’ll admit it, I totally forgot Tuesday was the 15th! (New masks every 1st and 15th here on freehandprofit.com) To make up for the delay, I’m droppin’ 2 Air Jordan masks on you. And of course they had to add up to 23 (23 photos too). The Bred XIII Mask is modeled by Martel…

Originally unveiled at ‘Rise of the Undeadstock’ (Freehand Profit’s solo show at ROSEWOOD SAN DIEGO), today I bring you the ‘White Cement’ III Mask in never before seen photos.

Air Jordan “Raptor 7” Mask by Freehand Profit
Despite releasing 3 masks on the 1st and a bonus mask released just 5 days ago, I couldn’t let the 15th go by without releasing another mask. This time it’s the Air Jordan “Raptor 7s” (2012 Retro). The pair was originally chopped live at 8&9’s Pop Up Shop in Wynwood Art District during Art Basel…
@FreehandProfit creates a classic mask for @MethodMan
Normally new masks are released every 1st & 15th but I got a special piece to share with you today. I started this month with a tribute to Wu Tang Clan, fittingly because September is the 9th month (Wu Tang Clan being made of 9 deadly emcees). Sebastian Bleak and I made it to Rock…
A Tribute to the Crew known as Wu: 3 New Sneaker Masks by Freehand Profit
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Hip-Hop has always been about ‘the crew’. Whether it was Bambaataa’s Zulu Nation, the Rock Steady Crew breakin’ out of the Bronx or TATS CRU wreckin’ walls- ‘the crew’ is ever present. Being that my work aims to reflect Hip-Hop I started looking for ways to represent my crew (Fat Chance Crew) and also…
@DJSKEE & @FreehandProfit present @Tyga with “Gravity Green T-Raww” Mask

Iman Shumpert X Freehand Profit mask made from Adidas Top Ten 2000s
Iman Shumpert, #21 for the New York Knicks modeled for his new mask last week. We shot at the legendary Venice Beach courts while he was in LA for a visit. Shumpert sacrificed a pair of Adidas Top Ten 2000 from the ‘Bright Lights – Big City’ pack. A unique shoe which resulted in a…
KD IV “N7” Mask: A Throwback Release
You may have seen this piece before but the KD IV “N7” mask was never officially released on freehandprofit.com. When I created it for DJ SKEE last year I included it as 1 of 10 exclusive and never-before-seen masks featured in my book “Army of the Undeadstock”. It’s been a helluva ride since then, the…
Another restock? No, BRED XIs like you never seen.
Just touched down last night, fresh back from San Antonio – still got some of that stale airplane air in my lungs. Too bad I’ll never be able to wear one of these masks on a plane (Note to self: photo shoot). It was worth it though, San Antonio is a beautiful city yo! I…
Double Feature: Supreme Dunk & USMC Combat Boot Gas Masks by @freehandprofit
One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do… not difficult, not out of the norm for me… but nonetheless chopping a 10 year old pair of grail status Supreme Dunks made my hairs stand on end. When Deadstockanonymous approached me to commission a new mask he had big things in mind. Not only…
Galaxy Zoom Rookies become the newest mask by Freehand Profit
What better way to celebrate my 30th birthday but with a new mask release. Folks who made it out to my solo show ‘Rise of the Undeadstock’ at ROSEWOOD in San Diego got a first hand look at this previously unreleased mask. The mask was commissioned by the infamous @Dubstepslap415, the man behind Sneakerhead Saturday…
Grape V Mask Revealed Plus Sneaker Lifestyle 2013 Recap
Just two weeks ago, the good folks from Drunk Off Shoes kicked off Sneaker Lifestyle 2013 in Montreal. I spent a week leading up to the event enjoying their beautiful city- eating a lot of great food (the smoked meat poutine at Main Deli Steak House guarantees that I’ll be back!), meeting a lot of…
Freehand Profit & Drunk Off Shoes present the Fire Red IV Mask
You know what it is, every 1st & 15th I’m bringing you a new mask. Today I’m proud to present a piece created for Drunk Off Shoes in Montreal. Chopped & crafted from a single pair of Air Jordan Fire Red IVs, this time with a twist. No gas mask here, instead the Fire Red…
@BurnRubber x @NewBalance MT580 “Blue Collar”s become @freehandprofit ‘s newest creation
It’s been a helluva ride getting the last pieces together for my opening this Friday at Rosewood in San Diego. Just last weekend Betsy VanDeusen and I were in San Francisco shooting masks with Dubstepslap415. This weekend I was in San Diego for another mask shoot and for Sneaker Swap SD. Folks who made it…
No Foolin’! New mask made from infamous Jordan “Bin 23” Vs
Even I cringed at the thought when my buddy Henry, known as the artist- DeathVSLife, suggested sacrificing his ‘Bin 5’s to the Chopping Block last summer. As I’ve mentioned in interviews, the Vs are my favorite from the Jordan line-up and cutting up a high holy grail like the Bins was daunting. And even though I’m…
New mask by Freehand Profit made from Lebron 9 “Summit Lake Hornets”
A lot of folks have been wondering when I’d get around to working with a pair of Lebron 9s (because let’s be honest, the Elites are a whole ‘nother beast).

Last day to Pre-Order #ARMYoftheUNDEADSTOCK & “Miami Vice” Elite Gas Mask
Pre-Heat, South Beach or Miami Vice – whatever the hell you call it this one is sure to make the hypebeasts cry. Hell it’ll probably bring a slight tear to some long time collector’s too. The color way has dominated the shoe game since we first saw it on the Lebron 8s – and just…
Puma X SNEAKER FREAKER ‘Bunyip’ Mask from #ARMYoftheUNDEADSTOCK
By now you realize I have an over active obsession with kicks and masks, what you may not know is I also have a fascination with creatures of legends, UFOs, ancient civilizations, conspiracies and secret societies. You can call it Sci-Fi, occult, weirdo shit or whatever else have you but when I read about the concept behind SNEAKER FREAKER’s…
