Yep!

Some company, think it was Tred Air UK or something like that, made creepers with normal thickness soles. They were awesome.

yeah man, sad sad 3s for sure

it's super unlikely I'll wear these just cause I cant see them being very comfy with those soles. BUT I could be wrong, either way, I figure they'll make amazing before and after pics and might bring me some business doing this.

heres the other pair I'm trying to get
they're not bad but by 3s standards a lot of dudes wouldn't wear them, if I can get deal on em super doing it

EDIT:
$75

75!!!! that is very good
not much wrong with em

where are you snagging these deals?

Also: People need to wear their flipping shoes

a friend of mine and I asked around on a lot of forums for beaters, we got SO many responses.
this one dude had some OG 1s from, what, 83, 84? but he wanted like $300 for them, so no way
but there were definitely some gems in the bunch

these two for sure

then there was the dude with the 07 stealth 5s with the soles and midsoles crakced beyond repair and the leather torn on the toebox, asking 125 lol...
theres a dude with some raptor 7s that are seriously seriously beat and sharpied on, I dont doubt I could do some nice restoration on them, probs not minty but definitely presentable, but he wanted like 80? yeah right
if I could snag em for under 40 shipped I'd do it, but even then, they're such a pain to work on

anyway, I've really fallen out of sneakers and am way into wingtips and oxfords right now
I just like working on Js

what do you recomend for painting the soles?
I have some air max trainers that need some love

We need a shoe fixing thread, I have no God damned idea what I'm going on that front. Not bad at buffing formal shoes but sneaks??? No clue.

i think this thread went pages ago into the "ilovefootwear" direction. So post your new wingtips!

hbombgraphics · Post by **hbombgraphics** » Fri Dec 13, 2013 10:02 am

wingtip pics would be sweet

just picked up an old pair of zoom phenoms for 25bucks
pics when i get em

I can get into sneaker restoration if youwant, but honestly it's really just painting what needs painting and treating what needs to be treated
only use Angelus leather paint and try to match the colors as best as possible
it's more of patience thing, even strokes of thin coats, over and over again allowing for drying in between then treating it if needed
Angelus, mink? I think it's mink oil is greeeeaattt

I picked up a pair of these not too long ago, loooooove em

I think I could start with white and black paint and fix up a ton of my kicks

I don't have anything too trashed now anyway, so a little touch up would do it

Just picked up some all white 12s that I am pretty pumped about

I think amazon has the angelus stuff
you use any particular brush?

Had a pair of black and white ones in highschool.
I also stupidly passed on a cheap pair last summer in Alabama at this place called "Reclaimed Luggage." They get all the lost/found and unclaimed luggage from Airports, then sell it. Mostly at good prices. Anyway, there was a pair of leather ones, in true blue, with a black top coat. As they age, which they were some-what already, the blue starts popping through. They were rad.
