Amidst a sneaker game that's saturated with so called “customization experts,” Chris McDuffie a twenty-one year old native of Minnesota outlasted the competition, taking home top-billing in the Yaris x Complex sneaker-design contest. McDuffie put an in interesting spin on an Air Force One silo, and was rewarded with a trip to NYC to mash it up with Complex staff, a $500 shopping spree (homie, came back ready to pop some tags) and a stay at the W hotel. After his NYC takeover, McDuffie returned back to Minnesota, fresh off the plane.
