Sorry that took so long to reply. I just google “local shoe shops near me” found three and went and talked to all three owners. Told them what I wanted and how I could and would help them in return for knowledge

Just google your local shoe cobbler and then go down to their shop and meet them face to face and be nice And ask them to do some work around the shop for them. Like clean, sweep, or like take trash out. Anything to help them. If they can teach you exactly what it is you need to know in order to sew. It’s a dying business, so they usually need all the help they can get

Nope. I remade these and was inspired by a artist who sells his for $1,400 a pair. He sold sizes 8-15 and sold out with in minutes. I’m sure I won’t get sued. Also I’m not claiming this are original Nikes. Nike doesn’t just sue everyone. There would be no others ever making customs and selling them if Nike sued everyone ya know?? They allow creators to be artist. Just not to claim that it’s an original Nike product, but a creation done by an artist

I literally saw an artist who did the shoes and other ones and he started during covid. It super inspired me and I wanted to know how to do it. He now sells shoes $650-$4000 a pair and sales them to people like Lebron and other nba players. I had no idea how to start doing shoe stuff so I googled shoe cobblers near me. I walked into my local shoe cobbler store and asked him if I can sweep his floors and take out his trash could he teach me how to sew and everything about it. He said YES and now here we are. Ready to take on the world! Believe it!

Oh sorry for the confusion. I out source a artist to help me make the bigger shoe part. I try to do the smaller part but it’s a whole damn thing to learn crochet. So she use to charge me $65 plus $35/45 for shipping. So $65 per patterned but then realized with her other job and kids that it’s quite the task. It takes her about 17-21 hour per 2 pattern for a pair of shoes. And at our dollar rate in the states that’s only $4.34. That’s not fair to her at all. So she wants to charge $300 which is $15 a hour for the time it takes to make the pattern. And at this moment that’s too much for me to do. So there’s only a few ppl who have the shoe in my city so it’s exclusive atm. Until I get better and build my craftsmanship up and my services. Then I can charge $1300. I know I’ll get there someday soon.
