AIR JORDAN 1 RETRO HIGH OG GAME ROYAL

[bashmilk]

Bought 2 paira for myself. 1 pair will get a white tongue and the other will get the fragment treatment. My girl wanted me to do hers so I started hers first. Still not done. Prepped it 1st with Angelus leather prepper and deglazer. I read that some of you didnt do this step. This step is important and should not be skipped. Id strip it now before moving forward. You can purchase it here:

A few pics. This is just 1 coat. I'll probably do 3 or 4 Max. Btw I used flat black and dont plan to use any finisher.
The most annoying part is the edges esp around the toe box.

Looks good, their blacks tend to go on thicker than other colors. 4 coats would do a good job over the factory paint that's been deglazed as the layers still add up together. Even better if heat can be applied as well.

Still trying to decide which pair to customize... but I lucked out with the leather and got the best of both worlds

FTL smooth vs Nike+ tumbled

I use a blowdryer after each coat

Custom lookin good yall...
Just do it with patience.
Btw i think you need to put a final coat of matte finisher. Just to seal the paint.

Bought an angelus kit. Prepared the leather and added the Matte finisher at the end. These pics were before finisher.

Lookin dopeee

Any of you guys using/used a heat gun after applying the Angelus paint? I saw a vid that showed a heat gun should be used to cure the paint, and using a blow dryer is not hot enough to cure the paint.

 

[yto1312]

Its not a must for heat gun...
I just air dry em over night, not in a hurry so just enjoying the process of a custom

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

Anybody have any pics of these with white laces ? Debating on putting some in mine.

Using a heat gun to dry Angelus isn’t necessary. Just use thin coats and let the shoes dry for about a hour after each coat.

 

[cragmatic]

i decided to paint mine, too.

Wish I had confidence to paint mine, this looks sick. Props

 

[yto1312]

Saw many professional customizer vid on youtube... they made it look so damn easy lol
Need to train my hand to be steady...

Stockx almost had my money. Something told me to stop by Footlocker after church lol. Northline Foot Locker in Houston had a restock and they still have sizes... thought I needed a 9 and ended up getting a 9.5. God is good. Happy Easter!

For a second I thought you were going to say the tumbled pair was from FA.

 

[yto1312]

Nothin beats the feeling, when you walk in to the store and you cop em at retail...

 

[bashmilk]

Got the right shoe done for bae ( no finisher ) added some lace tips. The are a size 7 GS (leather so SO SOFT)

 

[yto1312]

Hella fresh frags...

Los Angeles heads; Size 11 game royals are available at FTL on Hollywood and Highland.


Anyone in LA that knows of stores with a 10 or 10.5 I would appreciate the 411.

That’s the way it should be.
