Trainers

just copped both these for 40% off over at this site.

Painted a pair of FKR's last weekend.

Mockup is based on Mercurial / another custom pair I've come across, which had the swoosh in the same place. I'm now toying with the idea of adding the text on the inside like the actual Mercurial.

Thoughts?

How did you do this?

Funny...I just did the mid on some Oreos. Wanted a black mid on these for ages. Wanted to murder out the swoosh too but it's so tricky to do well.

Swoosh looks sprayed on with a stencil - that what you did Bjorn?

On another note, looks like I have most of a day to kill in Shanghai on Thursday. Anyone got any trainer (or otherwise) tips for Shanghai? Never been!!

How did you do this? Have you done it before? Does it stand the test of time?

Nike x Undercover Gyakusou Free 3.0 Flyknit

Elf shoes.

Proper toe curlers.

Not the biggest fan of unicoloured midsoles on fkr's tbh, because they seem to lose the 'racey' illusion they normally have.

Did you just use Angelus paint? If it doesn't hold you might try an alcohol based marker.

I haven't sprayed on the swoosh or text yet, that's just Photoshop. I did remove the original swoosh as good as possible up front though, but you can still slightly see it.

Bought today. Should be good for the wintery months.

Perfect for this time of year.lol

^^ like those flyknit free's!!

Just ordered a second pair of UB's.. Glad they're not that hyped and make it to sale.

Where from? Great colours

Rather than order online, I really need to try things on due a medical issue - is there an NB store in town? I can't find one online, just a suggestion of Oxford St 2016.

There's an NB outlet in Wembley.

any idea if these are worth anything? roughly a3 size, came from my grandad's loft, he must have been keeping them since he ran a sport shop in the mid 80s.
jumpman is the best jordan poster ever according to this but isn't in perfect condition.

so basically fiddy dorrah. shouldv'e guessed.

Love the lies on the first poster.

I know what you mean about the mono-midsole but I'm pretty happy with them. Lunar is obviously really flexible, so it'll be interesting to see how it holds. Seems like all customisation paint is acrylate-based. So water soluble initially then supposedly flexy when dry. I used the sneakersER midsole pen. Very easy. Supposedly specially formulated for midsoles but wonder if it's any different from leather paint.
