yeah, i like the black better also. i just did that to give anyone who was curious the old love look.
I remember when exo did his and I bought a pair from GetemChavez and he had the red laces in them and I swapped them out asap. I wanted to the black tongue swap out but that ship has sailed for the moment. I think the black tongue trumps all on the ones.
 
How much is a custom paint job? I'm actually considering purchasing the laser 1 and get it customed to royals.

I'm doing a pair myself bro, I think it can be done. My paint comes in Monday. Seems simple, don't waste money on it. Unless you're just super busy.
 
Still have yet to order the paint for my lasers. Been too busy lately

 I still want to attempt it myself tho.

Eaiser than it looks, just takes patience. Wearing my budget breds right now. Only standing like that to show off the side of the shoe [emoji]128517[/emoji]

I have yet to find a pair of lasers in a 10 for a good price haha. I'm being stingy with this one just bc others have copped for $109 :lol

Pass on the rare airs. The patch gimmick is whack IMO and I don't like the the "Air Jordan" on the sides. They look like fakes.
 
Thanks and repped broski!


If I was home I could tell you the exact post, but go on the Laser 1 thread maybe page 30ish, Duo listed everything you'll need.


Grab the starter kit from Angelus. In addition, you're also going to need:

- Blue dye for the outsole
- Royal 5 paint
- Duller
- Sole bright or Salon 40 will work

@Duo 1026 posted a step-by-step in the Laser thread and also a material's list.

Just picked up a pair for $104. So gonna do this maybe during the summer
 
If you apply multiple thin coats and apply the finisher correctly your paint should hold up fine.
thanks man. Been thinking about doing it but I've never painted a shoe before - wasn't sure how the paint held up. I think I'm going to try it on my lasers, they just sit in my closet anyways. :lol

What about the sole dye? Is it just a layer on top of the sole where it will come off with wear or does the color actually seep into the rubber?
No, you can purchase leather dye from angelus and mix it with sole bright or 40 volume creme. You then paint it onto the sole and it dyes and seeps into the actual sole/rubber. 

Here is the link to a step-by-step tutorial http://niketalk.com/t/610088/jordan...-2015-185-30th-anniversary/1530#post_23113889

And many other questions can be answered in the Jordan 1 Laser thread btw.
