2. Have you ever injured anyone, yourselves included, in the launching process?

So far, Droo was the only one wounded by this mission: Once when I was in Amsterdam I kept missing this really high wire in front of a coffee spot. The kicks kept hitting some motor bike in the corner. After 7 times, a foreign dude barged out cursing and from about 10 feet away nailed me in the face with a Lungie - It did hurt a little.

3. How long does it take to fabricate a typical pair?

No pair is typical. The manufacturing of hand crafted wooden dogs is a selective process. Each edition is created for a special mission. Most are silk-screened on wood for mass tossing, some are stenciled for specific countries. And then there's the rare custom made one-of-a-kinds.

4. What do you look for when choosing a location?

Location. Location. Location. It means jack shit if there are no wires around. But usually the right spot has something our shoes can hang off of like tree branches, lamp poles, flag poles or even signage. “For us,” says Ad, “tossing sneakers is more about letting people know that Skewville have been here.”

5. How did your dogs find their way to Africa?

Droo's wife is from South Africa, so he’s been there a few times already. You’re allowed 70lbs of luggage each on the flight. His bag was all wood. “I hit Cape Town, Joberg and Durban – twice,” Droo says. Her Father has a sick machine shop where he made the first all metal editions. So he smuggled back 70lbs of metal.

6. If you could target a celebrity home, who’s would it be and why?

It’s more about public spaces, celebrities live hidden in the hills. Maybe they’ll see the many pairs we hung on Melrose Ave. - when their noses are up in the air.

7. What do you find to be most inspiring about New York City?

The competition here is very inspiring. Everyone is trying to out-do everyone else by putting stickers over tags and throw ups over stickers and then wheat pastings over that. Our philosophy has always been to go beyond. We’re most inspired by NYC when we leave it. It’s amazing how many people from around the world want to live in NYC. As native New Yorkers we realize the grass is always greener but the truth is the hype is right!

8. Now that The Gates has warmed people up to the idea of public art, can we expect to see dogs in Central Park?

There isn't a fine line between street art and the fine art world. The media has jumped hard on the street art bandwagon lately. By the way, we threw our dogs in the park about 3 years ago. We’re now more about expanding the meaning of Skewville beyond our sneaker missions. New works include urban installations with new materials and applications, like the development of our stamp technology.

9. Have you had any run-ins with any goons from Bloomberg’s ‘Vandal Squad’?

The vandal squad's job is to catch toy taggers. Our stuff is way over their heads.

10. Disregarding the law altogether, is there anything else you’d like to throw at power lines?

No, we are gonna keep it real. We’ve been chucking shoes for years. However, we like it when other people throw things up in the sky. It shows the movement is growing. In Seattle someone threw up stuffed animals after we hit the area. In New York, we spotted computer mouses, plastic alligators and even red bull cans chucked on lines.
