LV monogram meets checkerboard with Off-White-inspired details too much or just right?

Came across this pair and I’m trying to figure out whether it was ever an official release or if it’s a full custom.

I’ve done a few sneaker customs before, but only painting and basic surface work. I’ve never attempted anything involving fabric replacement or taking apart and rebuilding an upper.

If these are custom, is this considered a full cut-and-sew job? Would you need to completely deconstruct the upper, use the original panels as patterns, cut new camo fabric, and stitch everything back together?

For anyone who has done this kind of work, what tools and materials would I need to move beyond painted customs and try something like this?
