So it's summer time and I've been missing skiing quite a lot. To tryand get my mind off of skiing I decided to go through some of my oldcrap and get rid of stuff, well that back fired and I found an old pairof Nike Air force 1's and some slip on converse shoes. I decided to getmy Grandma steeze on and got crafty. The Results are here:
Hell yea!!! Boot customization is somthing I'd expect to see a lot more around newschoolers. Props for putting in time to make something you like! They seriouly look totaly decent, and if anyone hates they can't admit it's a little hilarious (unless there a total dbag).
For the Converse Bandana print under layer I just cut out all of the fabric into one big piece and cut to match the area on the full tilt I wanted covered then glued it down so the toe cables could fit over it and secure it more thoroughly in place. The Nike Details I Cut out the Part of the tongue I wanted and epoxied it onto the back of the converse tongue. The laces holes I cut off of the shoe and Put some laces through and epoxied that onto the converse fabric. To add some style I cut off the little velcro tabs and epoxied them onto the tongue. And the Nike symbols I cut off the shoes and Epoxied them in place as well. To get a good seal on everything I taped the Various pieces down and waited 24 hours to dry fully. And there we go!
Oh and before hate on wasting shoes, The converse shoes I Had from a few years ago that I paid 5 dollars for and the Nikes I Got for free and were super trashed Already so I just re-used the fabric.
Glad you guys like them! It was Fun to customize them.
Heck yeah man! I also Sprayed a Tent water proofing Spray onto the fabric so they'll repel Water. The epoxy I used Said It works in cold conditions so I'm hoping for the best!
Saw them in another thread, I did not make these so I'm giving zff credit because he was the person that 1st uploaded them to that thread. I don't know if he made them or not though.
When I was first reading it, I thought "there are going to be some very upset people when they read you cut apart a pair of Air Force One's", but since they were free and beat it's ok, haha.
looks like it only works on ft's cuz every other boot has 4 buckles :( no laces/ swoosh for me ahhh. stupid nordica spark boots,though ur comfy you cannot be customized -.-
You should fire whoever designed this year's Booter (and whoever decided on changing the 3-cable design while you're at it), and employ this kid instead
1. we gave him lashings for your distaste 2. we didn't change the 3-Piece design, we added another 3 piece design to our product line with a wider last. Thanks for the interest!
