I doubled on the grey as well. They were my favourite pair of the pack and in general. I wish I bought more pairs especially as they were going pretty cheap at one point.miniswoosh pack was great! 5 pairs of greys for me

Yeah, mini swooshes are dope. I don’t care for the lemonade pack coming out soon. I wonder what we’ll get after.

I’m really curious as to how you trimmed them. I would have figured it would turn into a mess, but it looks nice and uniform. Great job

First off thank you. It isn't easy and there were several points where I thought I had messed up bad. It's definitely worth it and makes them a lot more wearable.
So to begin I took some clippers to them on the highest setting (lever down) progressively getting lower till the lowest setting (lever up). Then I went over them very gently 'with the grain' with a handheld beard trimmer (I wouldn't use a mains powered as they may be too powerful) until I got them as close to the desired length. My inner sadist/perfectionist couldn't let it go so I then moistened the odd parts and went over them with a razor. I wouldn't advise this if you are not confident or don't have a steady hand that being said the effect with electric clippers is still pretty good.

What's your reshape method on these two?They definitely can be reshaped. It is a lot of work but its worth it. I also shaved the shaggy hair too.

Maybe it's just the hype, but these honestly seem significantly nicer than any pair of air max I can think of off the top of my head. The suede sockliner is amazing, and the materials just feel more quality than I'm used to. Does anyone know if Nike put out a good breakdown of exactly what materials were used on these? I was worried that I'd regret spending over 3 bills on a pair, but I couldn't be happier with these.

No reshape on the black/red pair just a good shoe tree. On the safaris I applied water to the toe of the shoe and moisten a t-shirt(white)/cloth of choice apply to stuffed moist toebox and then iron to desired shape always ensuring that shoe and cloth remain somewhat moist at all times. You may need to repeat multiple times for maybe 2-5 minutes always checking the condition of shoe on every application of the iron. I only did it once and did not have to repeat.

i feel you! The sock liner material is something else on these.

I had to look them up after your pics and I can’t believe what these are selling for now. $500+!?!. Again, great job on making them what they should have been from the start

Whoa didn't even realize those Londons had a suede sock liner. Kind of a weird choice right?

idk what it is, honestly. Not sure if it's suede or what. Really nice though. The insole is a different material too.

I'm not home to get a better picture, but I'm pretty sure that's suede. This is why I was hoping there was an official writeup about the materials used somewhere.

Maybe it is, idk. Doesn't feel like it to me though. Feels more like velous to me honestly.

Retro Curry’s came in! Now let’s hope they don’t fit too snug.
