Those are BONKERZ!
 
I posted these in the MLB thread, but I am a High School Baseball umpire in New York State.
Regulations state that our shoes must be all-black.
The pickings are pretty slim, so I modified my Remixes.

As a HS umpire in New York state, we have to wear shoes that all black.
The pickings are pretty slim, so using exterior Krylon and marine grade polyurethane, I modified my remixes:

^ If its not too much trouble, I'd like to see how they turned up fully dry... matte-finish and whatnot... thanks
 
Yeah. The NDC pic make them look like Concords. The patent looks cheap and I'm not a huge XI fan. I do like the mesh upper, stitched swoosh and the icesole. Shorts only. One wear with some jeans and they'd be toast.

Those look pretty nice

, I wouldn't mind seeing some fully drypics as well.

I had a similar situation in high school, our team had a strict all-black cleat policy. I had picked up some Air Max Griffey I cleats on clearance for $19.99a couple of years before and had finally grown into them. I wanted to rock them, so I had the brilliant idea to spray paint them and black em out

. I just used plain ole spray paint so they looked sweet, until they started cracking of course.

Anyway, they stayed in that condition for years until a few months ago I decided to bring them back (posted these in restoration thread originally).

I was able to bring them back from this:

Not perfect, but atleast they're respectable now.
(notice the misspelling on the box tag: Air Griff E Metal

)


Anyway, I think you've got the right idea with the good paint and poly. I'm sure yours will hold up better than mine did.
 
^ all things considered, they look pretty decent...

Anyway, another pics of Jr's black/black/white Swingmans...

Thanks, the restoration was kind of a rough one, it was my first ever attempt. But atleast they're black and white again

Yeah, I saw those on sale for $19.99 back in 1998 and was like
eek.gif
. Ibegged my mom to get them for me, even though they were a 9 and I wore like a 6.5 at the time
laugh.gif
. I convinced her that I'd grown into them and that I'd need some metalcleats in a couple of years anyway, but I knew I'd still wanna rock those no matter how long it had been since they released.
