I've got metallic gold lion head locks for the shoe, too...but I decided I'd rather have the traditional Watch The Throne locks.  Variety is the spice of life. :P ...and I was thinking of having the paint work done to the midfoot shank and then adding SEVERAL coats of clear and a sole...

I have since got more aggressive looking Watch The Throne lace locks, too.  I am SO hype for this to be my first "real" custom shoe.  I want them to look as close to the real thing as possible.  I even bought a 1 of 1 end label for a normal LBJ XI box so they wouldn't have to stay in a crummy...

Bro, I got the smooth tip laces.  I never really measured them.  They're long enough, though.  ...but I did add some nice metal aglets.   ...and from what I hear, my shoe will be 100% wearable once the liner and midfoot shank are done.  Again, I have no info regarding the shank.  I figure it'd...

So here's my first one.  Obvious subject matter.  Gonna be sending it out to have the liner and midfoot shank done up in that Givenchy-esque pattern....and the foamposite material will get the gloss treatment as well.  Should be a pretty nasty shoe.  ...and I'm 100% satisfied with the build...

So, theses are gonna get some special treatment (and better lace locks). ...and I finally scratched these off my list .

Doubled up again.  Picked up nice lace locks from King's Pride PH.  If  you haven't heard of him, search facebook.  This guy makes incredible LBJ and Kobe lace locks. ...and just like everyone else....almost. Tried my hand at the custom thing, too.  It's not pretty...but I've seen worse first...

Anyone else get lucky on the What The LBJ this morning?

Hanon x Reebok CL 3 Castles.  Very nice materials...and comfortable as hell

I thought the Cali & Diamond high tops were released to justify the Dunk SB price hike.  That's what I heard anyway.  

Materials are really nice on these.

Nice to see folks have grabbed the Quarter Snacks Dunk SB.  Does anyone happen to have an update on when they're dropping on NDC?

Wanted these for a minute.  Crossed off the list now, though. ...and doubled up on these.

I'm trying to get that taken care of right now.  

I messaged you, Dc30......

..and I've gotta ask.  If you do paint the print onto the liner, is it done with a fabric paint that sinks into the pores...and is it wearable.   ...because....what you did to the liner of the shoe you posted up looks killer, and it's a cheaper option than looking all over for fabric and having...

this is my first REAL custom shoe.  I really don't even know why I chose the Watch The Throne theme, to be entirely honest....but I think it's gonna be nice.  I REALLY need to find some fabric that mimics the inner lining of the Watch The Throne LBJ 9.  You wouldn't happen to know where I could...

Bro, I checked Smooth Tip's site at last 50 times and  can never get a pair.  I have even emailed the dude about them a time or two. ...and the guy doing my work isn't well known.  Just a guy I know who does good work.  He's decent with a paintbrush and a sewing machine/needle & thread...  

Yes, I kid you not....the laces were $70.  They're ghost.  Ya don't see 'em anywhere.  Smooth Tip used to make them for $40 a pop...but I haven't seen any available on his site for AGES...and believe me, this Watch The Throne shoe is something I've wanted to do for a hot minute.  The laces were...

got my Kobe Beethovens.  This is my first flyknit shoe.  I'm pretty impressed.

Well, I did this.  ...and I bought laces just like these (they were $70.  For the love of all that's holy.). ...and this lace lock (hand made). I found a guy who has some fabric that's pretty close to the liner in the real Watch The Throne LBJ's...and he's gonna handle that for me.  He's also...
