no I didnt tape it off. because the whole shoe overall was glossy, I sprayed the midsole and then the leather to dull out some of the shine. the result left them looking very much like the 2008 CDPs but with better durability.Originally Posted by Sneakerfan1
Did you tape off the shoes in order to do this? What brand did you use? Krylon?Originally Posted by sthebest
yeah the matte finish on the midsoles really makes a difference. but they did the same thing with the white cement 4s and TB IIIs. that matte finish really prevents paint cracking. Ive worn my 2011 Black Cement IIIs 20+ times and I have yet to see a paint chip thanks to spraying them with matte finishOriginally Posted by Sneakerfan1
Glad that you got them.
I may sit on my pair and cop some orange laces to toss in them down the road. I don't "love" this colorway, but these definitely look a lot better in person than I expected them to. Everyone I've shown them to (people who aren't into sneakers) told me to keep them. Why JB can't use a matte finish like this on all of their III's and IVs is beyond me.
So far I've only broken out my BC III's once.
Wish I could've done this to my Fire Red III's. Eventually I'll probably have those repainted.
Definitely gonna have to look into that. Which matte finish spray do you recommend?Originally Posted by sthebest

planning ahead to me means getting every website up on a bunch of browsers and saying an our father at 7:59 am. Mall stores in my area all have corrupt employees that take 2/3 of the stock leaving like 8 pairs for the ppl lining up all night. not worth it to meOriginally Posted by Midnight Hype

How come you didn't plan accordingly? you knew about this release since the WC 4s. Its almost like booking a plane ticket months in advance, packing you're bags to arrive at the airport just to know you miss you're flight. Im not gonna lie, i was able to add a popular size in my kart from finish line. but when they sent me a pair of defective aj 11 lows. i said no way Jose.

Definitely Krylon. Not only has it worked well on Jordans, it also worked well on my South Beach Lebron 8s. it really protected the Teal color from rubbing off.Originally Posted by Sneakerfan1

Im still looking for you homie. Sorry my fam sold both of his size 9.5s before I could get in contact with him. I looked on ebay and don't believe the people on here, pairs are selling for $250-$300. The cheapest ive seen on FB was $250 shipped.Originally Posted by acoppola331
