Jordan 9 Customs. You decide!

gbenyu · Dec 21, 2015

I got a pair of Jordan 9s statue size 12 recently and the colour way reminds me of vomit. So I decided that I would customize them to try to make them look a bit nicer. The problem is I have no idea what custom I should do, thats where you guys come in. The reply with the most thumbs up will be the custom that I do. Thanks!

Simple custom: Change all the gold to red.

White out or bleach the sock liner, then die it fire red

Paint the midsole & jumpmans, eyelets & aglet with Angelus fire red paint

Done

Kinda like this.... but keep the sole white and change midsole to red. or you can just copy this photo. It's up to you but youd have to paint the sole red and dont know how that would hold up over time.

A fairly easy and imo best option is this (can't find a solid pic but I'm pretty sure there was a sample like this of actual 9s)

First thing's first black out that lining.

Make the lace eyelets/fixtures black.

Make the air Jordan on the tongue red.

Make the globe in the back red.

Make the midsole red.

And bam you're done! The nice thing about this is your jumpmans and the sole are already correct. The only semi difficult thing to do is dye the lining black. Other than that it's a few simple tweaks and you got a

colorway imo.

Here is a crappy pic to give you some idea of what it would look like.

Ignore the red on the tongue and the red lining. I don't think it would look as good like that. Would be nice if you could dye the inside of the tongue red to make them colorblocked just like the powder blues, but I don't think it would turn out good on that material. Also going from black to another color never seems to turn out great. you're better off just making the entire lining black.
