It was the tongue. Still looks sick. Would probably look even better with a black Swoosh too though.I think that makes the shoe.
I'm tempted to grab a pair of E Greens and paint the swoosh black like someone did a while back. Believe it was @jst628
He only painted the tongue black, I believe. Swoosh stayed white.
But the black tongue made that shoe so much better.
Ahhh, that's right. I may need to put my money where my mouth is and cop these like I said I would back then.It was the tongue. Still looks sick. Would probably look even better with a black Swoosh too though.I think that makes the shoe.

He said it was airbrushed and painted with Angelus fabric paint. I might order them when I get home and try it out.![]()
I agree, they'd be so sick. Pretty much looks like a totally different shoe.Ahhh, that's right. I may need to put my money where my mouth is and cop these like I said I would back then.![]()
A black tongue and a black swoosh would make these insane.
i buy super no-show puma socks from marshalls. they're like $6 for 3 pairs i think. they're low enough to clear my racers and every other shoe i ownWhat kinds of socks do you guys wear in your Flyknits? I've been wearing Nike Dri-Fit no show socks but they're not exactly no show and they're thick and padded. Anyone have any recommendations for thin no show socks? I think I've seen Drimax recommended before but I'm not sure.![]()

I wish I could go sockless but after a few wears they start to smell too bad
. Not to mention this winter has been brutal so I need to wear socks or else I'll have frostbitten toes.![]()

Yeah, that's my only hangup. If I screw them up, I wasted $100+, lol. I think I'm definitely going to have someone paint 'em for me. I don't want to half *** 'em and feel like an idiot.I agree, they'd be so sick. Pretty much looks like a totally different shoe.Ahhh, that's right.

I have a few shoes that Nike overcharged me on (vs the Suggested Retail sticker) so I might complain about those tonight and try to get a gift card for the difference. Apply that along with the 26% from the clearance code/eBates for a nice little price drop. I know I'm probably gonna butcher the custom job so I wanna get them for as cheap as possible.![]()
Yep, and most of 'em were chillin' on clearance for months. Crazy how this shoe thing goes.couldn't resist since i'm clearing out stuff![]()
Was on eBay last night looking for all of those. The prices? ridiculous, I had to log out.![]()

how would one do this? I just ordered a pair of E greens and would love to black out the tongue and swoosh if possible.
You need to sign up for an ebates account first: http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=yqIL/u76ZS8XzKtvLLeDpw==
How do you use ebates? Is there a code I enter? Or if I click through the ebates link to the nike store, it automatically deducts the 6% when I check out?
These are flames. Presale though?
i'm new to flyknit trainers/racers so excuse me if this has been brought up, but is this black/white colorway new? assuming so because it says pre-order...

not a bad consolation prize for those (such as myself) wanting the black/white trainers/racers.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably still end up with a blacked out pair thoughover in the new balance thread, for people wanting to do "custom" 574 IDs (to get the purple devil, red devil, pink devil, etc. look), they take 8 parts black fabric paint to 2 parts water and just use art paintbrushes to dab in the paint layer by layer. i guess just repeat the process until the whole thing is blacked out. the water helps it seed into the fabric easier for those wondering
i only advise this, as opposed to physically trying to paint the tongue, because i can see a lot of user error occurring; seeing that once you "accidentally" touch other parts of the shoe, there's no turning back. i dont wanna be seeing a bunch of blacked out "custom" flyknits for those who mess up![]()
Damn, the dude who got his ordered cancelled twice about to have a fit lmao
Got my order confirmation & shipping with the Black/White Trainer last nite from RRS....My week is complete...
hahah just take your time with it and you'll be goodThanks for the info. I'll probably still end up with a blacked out pair though![]()
