r3k4hsttub - whew!!!

 

[mhtcjt37]

The Nitros are absolutely incredible.

 

[denverairforce]

not so into the digi camo myself, but congrats on the pickup.

m tr4nch - amazing what some elbow grease and patience will bring you! very nice job on the restoration! when you mentioned the strap, it made me think thatyou could just find any color strap and paint your swooshes to match if you wanted to, heh. but I would also imagine you might want to keep them og white onwhite. keep in mind that vandal high straps would probably work fine too if you can find 'em.

Matt - Great restoration on those all white highs!

r3k4hsttub - Awesome Nitro Digi 3M's. How's the 3M in person?

*EDIT*

This person I bought white/infrared AF1's from awhile ago just hit me up and said he has another pair he was going to keep for himself, but wanted to knowif I was interested.

Hmmm, I wonder if he means another pair of Infrareds or another colorway in AF1's . . .

 

[stuntman mike]

What size are you? I have an 11 that you can have for free.. I was gonna try the Whiting Gel on it.

 

[thunderchunk69]

I'm a 9.5/10, I found a beat pair, was considering of trying the "ironing the toe box" trick but eh, don't think I have time for restoration.

'preciate it tho.

note: even was hoping to recreate it via Nike ID... then realized they don't have grey as an option

basically you stuff the toe box and iron the leather or steam it thru a damp piece of paper or wax paper or something to that extent, it works,but i dont have full details....
