Took this picture 12 years ago

At that point these were like 10-15 year old
Nike needs to retro these. The pinks are 🔥🔥🔥 but I want the gold and the Platinumposites

Need help with practice skin.

Mine keeps getting stained after pulling a line. I know I start at the bottom and wipe away from the tattoo but I can’t get it cleaned ever. What am I doing wrong?

Also how do you keep the stencil on the practice skin? Mine wipes off immediately. I use stencil cream and wait like 25 minutes but it’s still wipes off.

Had to get these again! These are damn near brand new too.

Alright I was feeling myself so I started the break down tonight.

Need to find a donor swoosh. Bought obsidians and I thought I could source the carbon fiber plate, tabs behind the carbon fiber and the swooshes and I was sadly mistaken. The swooshes are a blue hue. Go figure 😂😂😂.

Breakdown done and old glue GONE!

Also! My plan is to glue the tongue “air” emblems with barge cement or super stick. Is there a better alternative for plastic to fabric?

I don’t really like to take pictures but I went to a Asian food festival today and dressed the part

Welp they’re done. 😭😭

I’m not super happy with the results but they’re done. Carbon fiber plate was the hardest part but the soles went on pretty clean. The greens were done first so I was a little more comfortable on the pinks but I still could’ve done better. My worry though is I have my OG surfers and my OG varsity reds I wanted to do and I’m scared to now lol. I guess I’m not too worried about the carbon fiber plate because the soles and I feel like the bottoms are secured so well but the outside wing part keeps coming up. I know it’s because I have a wide foot. I’m scared to do the sole reglues on the 2 OG pairs but don’t want to pay $150 each to reglue them either. Ugh 😭😭😭. Let me know if you have any suggestions on what I should do please.

Next up: Reglue!

Pinks were one 12-13 hour session and the greens were four 24 hour sessions. Now that I’ve got all the right tools and donors I’m ready to reglue. Will post my finished products when I’m done.

Barge super stik, barge infinity cement or barge original cement and why?

Getting ready to reglue and I messed up once already with the Angelus shoe glue and had to start back over. I see a mix of barge superstik, barge original cement and barge infinity cement. Which ones do I use? I see the superstik and the infinity cement are far harder to come by but what’s the difference? Just the Odor or is the bond stronger one one vs the others?

For scope: I’m replying foamposites. Regluing the full bottom. Carbon fiber plates, tabs to carbon fiber plates and the whole sole.
