the thread about TWOs

[b fresco]

Thanks for the kind words

yeah the whole point of me getting these were to paint them black. Was planning on dying and painting the midsole black as well but unsure at this stage. I'm loving the way it looks at the moment.

I used a thin flat brush and angelus flat black and it matched the black leather exactly. I put on a matte finisher too but it added a bit of shine to it so I had to strip it back and repaint.. But yeah just roll with the flat black and you'll be fine bruh

Bruh, sorry to keep bothering you. Did you treat or hit the cement color panels with anything/solvent/pad/abrasive before painting em? Is the cement "splatter" visible thru the angelus paint (from the pics it isn't to me)? Just want to make sure i'm doing this right, cuz i dont want to drop $$$ on a local customizer, plus they're mostly all snobs (like this job isn't big enough for em)...

Hopefully it goes well because i'd like to paint the Green on my snakeskin 11 lows as the next project...

^^^ XI low is a much different material. I'd suggest dying the snake instead painting, you'll get way less flaking/cracking.

Nah it's fine man, happy to help with tips and stuff. Yeah I just used some acetone and cotton balls to clean the surface and remove the factory finish on it (makes the paint bond better with the leather apparently) and no the speckles aren't visible after you put paint on it. Yeah just take your time and paint on thin layers at a time to prevent getting brush strokes. Perhaps practice painting on some beaters or something if you're not confident enough?

Just make sure you don't rub too hard with too much acetone. It might eat/melt the leather. Keen to see your results when you're done

In light of the OVO 10's releasing soon I thought I'd do a quick render of an OVO 2

What y'all think?

welp

looks like i'm gonna pick between lowcut 2's, 5's, and 9's now

EDIT: gonna cross out 9's now, thought it was a white/black pair

 

[trentbg]

All good, but it will be interesting if they are going to ask $175 for those, even $150 would be too much for them. 

 

[alexody]

They're sitting regardless

Copped, been waiting on lows

The regular 2's are way too big and bulky

 

[AIR J XIII]

They're sitting regardless

exactly what I'm counting on

 

[RyGuy45]

They'll butcher the toe box but still good news.

I was always in love with the IIs as a kid. Thought they were hugely underrated but for some reason JB just can't get them right or get the design mold down. I know the molds were destroyed but they're just way off and show no signs of a proper execution.

 

[anthracite8s]

depending on price and shape this may be my first cop since white/black 14s. my favorite low of all time.

I agree that they're still quite a bit off but some of the pics/renderings I've seen since the "remastering" look like the toe is a lot less bulky than before. still not perfect but there is a small glimmer of hope lol. Not a lot but it's there

Ok

 

[g money 87]

Why the chi lows tho? Give us the highs

 

[kintan]

Why the chi lows tho? Give us the highs

JB knows how to tease their market lol

 

[airgolden2123]

Because JB has a pattern of doing this. We will get the lows next year and the highs 2 years later.

 

[g money 87]

I really wanna know who comes up with these ideas, would love to knock some sense into em

 

[da hen]

been looking forward to these lows, in for 2 pairs.
