It’s not going anywhere. Once it’s shaped, it stays like that. I did it to some old air max 1s with a durabuck toe years ago.

I did it to the 2013 viotech dunks and they stayed like that. Reshaping maintains the slope permanently

Good to hear, as this is not what folks were saying back in the Black/Cement III as well as the Infrared thread.

Really? Others in the BC3 thread were saying it will go back to normal

I’ve reshaped a half dozen air max 1 toes from durabuck, to real suede, to synthetic suede, to premium leather and they all stayed reshaped.

Maybe because the bc3 has thick materials, that leather and then the elephant?

Maybe about a half hour for each shoe. You want to be careful when scraping it away. You’d have to press down really hard with the blade to cut completely through the material.

Lol I’m good on that man
If anything might do the toe box trick but not taking a knife to these or any shoe

Does the ironing cause the material to wrinkle?

In the wc4 yes on the black/metallic 5 not at all. Leather vs nubuck

Multiple people have claimed the shape went back to normal and it could be due to material/thickness. AM1/most runners toes are thin as hell compared to these.

Imma have to grab these bad boys. As much as I’ve been holding off on sneakers lately being responsible, I just can’t resist OG’s

Gentry was hip to the ironing technique and produced them to be unironable for the long haul.

Wow. So if there white material underneath that means they must have purposely colored the edges black? Smh if so. JB is really fooling with us lol.

Yeah i believe it was done on purpose. They probably felt the white edges felt sloppy and wanted to clean up the look. However, the white edges are important on a shoe like this. The edges are sealed, it’s like they cut the material with a hot blade which melted the material shut instead of allowing the white fabric to show through. Luckily it could be scrapped off to revel the white material underneath.

I still think that with time, the edges will show more.
