well been on NT for a while and never had done a Custom post before.
i've searched all over for this post and did not find one, so hope i am the first.. although im sure a lot of you thought of doing this so dont hate. (justbe positive and say great minds think alike)
The reason i did this was because i couldnt help but notice my Retro 5s have slightly yellowed due to age. when i was in middleschool i had fallen in love withthese shoes but couldnt get my hands on them. and then in 2006 they reretroed this shoe, but there was a slight problem, it came with the "23"stitching on it, which i really disliked, but i got 2 pairs anyway because of the fact that i love these shoes so much.
and since they already had that vintage look to them, why not make them look even more like the ogs or the 2000 retros. so i gone and took of the stupid 23stitching on them.
so here are the pictures...

Just to let you guys know This was really time consuming.
I think it took me 4 hours to unstitch both shoes.
I would probably not do this again.
although it does look very much like the 2000 retro
let me know what you guys think
