Probably better off doing a sole swap with some pewters
I just realized this but I like that volt sole and the simple black/grey/silver upper on foams with a nice colored outsole it's just a clean look

ahh.. i dunno the pewters are fine with the clear.. the volt sole would stand out though.. but my pewters havent been raw-treaded so its still an iced-out look.

I saw some laces in FTL today that looked to be a perfect match for the foams. They are labeled "Oval Laces." I may pick up a pair tomorrow to compare.

It's not about being a baller fam, or even so much about our differences in philosophy in regards to how we like our sneakers/maintain them or whatever.
It's just that it feels like you somehow find a way to mention it in every other post you make in here
Like, we get it son; chill.

I got tracking for my asteroids today. Should have both those and the thermals tomorrow..... Then I make magic

Earlier I acetoned the inside half of one of my thermals, and to complete the edges I just used cotton swabs. Once I soaked the graphic enough with the swab, I just used my finger nails to scrape away as much as possible away from the outsole and such.

I understand what you're saying. Sneakers aren't exactly cheap.

Tried cotton swabs, can't get them deep enough. Thinking about using toothpick.
