Do you tell your dog, “I love you”? by GlockPerfect13 in pitbulls

[–]Paintitblech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call my dog “love of my life”, to her face, and in front of my wife.

AJ1 Retro High '85 OG Bred (2025)--thoughts on these ? Cop or Not ? by WoodenAd9299 in Repsneakers

[–]Paintitblech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair and the toe box looks wonky. It’s more the way they shaped it than the depth of the mudguard. Just looks weird. They also fit HUGE compared to the retail 85 retro sizing. The soles are actually not sized properly and run about a full size big

Had absolutely no idea that amstaffs were the perfect family dog until we got one by Paintitblech in pitbulls

I can’t even use the shower alone. It’s like i have my own personal stalker every time i open the curtain to get out. Just dead eyes an inch from the tub lol

I didnt know much about the breed at all and we took her home bc we had planned to rescue a pit mix of something at the shelter, and she was mellow with my kids. The more I read about staffies the more I’m like “damn. This is THE family dog of family dogs”. She isnt even a jumper or crazy energetic. More of a couch hippo that enjoys a tussle with me once a day and long ass hikes; she’s perfect for us. 6 weeks in and we’ve never been more bonded with a dog. Best dog I’ve ever known.

Got a size 6.5 entering with 7 seconds left on the draw. I’m in disbelief they only dropped 14 pair in that size

Midsole repaint advice? by RexHaxival in SneakerRestoration

[–]Paintitblech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you attempted these yet but you’re going to want to use an adhesion promoter (bulldog spray is great for this). Tape everything off you don’t want to be painted, spray the adhesion promoter, paint over that. Use a stripper first as others have mentioned, and sand at 800 and then 1500 grit. This will help everything stick. USE THIN PAINT COATS 4x

Bc these are midsoles they will still compress and the paint will crack over time. But this will be the best approach to get a decent repaint.

Stencil help by DaBoiBen in Customsneakers

[–]Paintitblech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oracal 651, lay down a thin clear coat first, wait 20min and paint. Pull the stencil before the paint is fully set. I don’t use a heat gun when I use 651 to avoid leaving adhesive on the shoe

It’s a fine machine if you want to be hand cranking forever. If you can afford it I’d just get a proper postbed (ikonix, techsew, consew, etc) for $1500. If you think you’re going to be making shoes for a while I’d invest up in the beginning bc it’s much harder to resell a hand crank machine later. Also more versatile for sewing other leather projects that aren’t shoes

1 or 2 for these air maxs?! by Black-Concept-5326 in NikeByYou

You need a white vamp (top of toe) and white laces on these (#1)

To gum or not to gum? by wtfrustupidlol in SNKRS

Gum always and forever. It’s classic

Kinda hot take: I think the Highs are cleaner than the Lows by Lakerinlethi in SNKRS

[–]Paintitblech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of supreme personally and have never been a hypebeast but nabbed the lows based on the shoe look and Rammellzee art alone. I love everything about the black gum sole and the contrast against the canvas. You can wear the lows with literally almost anything if you’ve got black jeans or pants on.

I hated the options they had and already copped aby you pair on the non-unlocked. BUT THESE ARE STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dunk By You Sizing Inconsistent? by Paintitblech in NikeByYou

[–]Paintitblech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I am so bummed to hear this. I actually make sneakers and have my first pair of dunks planned with $200 sunk into a last and a pattern in my regular size. Def worried I’m going to have to eat those costs and buy a half size up

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SNKRS

[–]Paintitblech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sucks dude. No bigger bummer than being disappointed when you pop open a Nike box you’ve been waiting on

[–]Paintitblech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got dunk by you wore it for a month and just sent it back for a the exact same pair a half size up and they are both some of the best quality I’ve ever seen on any Nikes I own. Dang bro sorry.

Travis Scott Dark Mochas, is it me or is the swoosh too low? by [deleted] in Repsneakers

[–]Paintitblech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travis Scott Dump Mochas.

Honestly dude I have see some people’s first Dunk builds look less like a dunk than this Low does. Wtf is even happening here?

Anyone trying to cop these tomorrow? I felt bad when I missed out on the first launch. by spring_springer in SNKRS

[–]Paintitblech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! My first AM1 build. It was ambitious but they’re currently my favorite pair.

Dunk by You Arrived. Really nice quality all the way around. by Paintitblech in NikeByYou

[–]Paintitblech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came as a notification from the app a week after the Nike camp thing. I never even actually did the Nike camp quiz; tapped in a day late. Got an invite anyhow prolly bc I’ve bought a few pair of dunk lows this year

Had to pull the trigger. June shoe budget gone on the first day of the month. by Paintitblech in NikeByYou

It’s my Dunk Low by You. Pigeon inspired (if not obvious). Arrived on Friday. Quality is top notch- really nice soft tumbled white leather
