The chukkas have 7 eyelets and the lows have 5 eyelets. I was going to kind of get an idea for the correct shape and pattern from looking at photos of HTM's, and my Racers and Trainers. Cut just below the 6th eyelet. Cut the heel loop from the inside to resew back in later, then possibly use an open flame to melt the areas where I cut in order to keep it from unraveling. Then find a donor shoe like a Flyknit One and take off the ankle padding and stitch it over the top of the cut/melted area. Remove the tongue from the base, trim a bit of the base off and then resew it in.

This shocks me as well. They only did release at 5 places or less depending on which HTM. I guess only those of us with the biggest addiction to Flyknits really know about them. I feel that most people had no idea about Flyknit technology until after the Summer Olympics even though so much of the infomation was readily available.

I thought the only HTM that people spoke of was the bluish HTM Chukka's. Didn't bother to do further research until I saw that one photo today.
haha.
Would have loved to cop one of those low HTM multi-colors up to even $250-$300!

I haven't come across any. Just saying I'd pay around that much if I knew about it back in 2012. haha.
I wish pairs in my size were that cheap.... I'm looking at triple that cost minimum when I come across them

HAHAHA. If you dont like the change I would say its because you have OCD and lack a creative itch. An OCD person could never cut up a shoe for fear of screwing it up or making a mistake.
I am the last person to ever have OCD. Messiest room ever! Im an artist and like creating things just to see if I can do it. Its not ruining something beautiful. Its making something with your own hands that is unique and equally beautiful.
Although I have a lot of artwork, this is my first foray into shoe creation......
(just because I couldnt find a shoe that would allow me to jog to my yacht)

^Nice. Nike may take your idea and add a lunar midsole to the Mad Jibe Low.

Not a flyknit chukka specifically but can anybody comment on sizing for Nike Hyperfeels? Should I stick with my Flyknit size??

While the shoes are my work alone, the idea was not mine. Here are the photos I derived the idea from.

And a gentleman from instagram provided guidance. Here are his Nike Free Sperry Chukkas. Obviously not completely finished.

They fit like the unpadded trainers. If you have padded trainers, size half down.
