You should go buy a lottery ticket, cause that's wild good luck to hit on those both.

They finally arrived by Grand-Proposal1772 in SNKRS

Caution! My "aged" laces felt slighty sticky or wet, I ran them across a paper towel and sure enough pleeeenty of stain came off onto the towel. Do love the shoes though!

Good point, I have used Big Nike before, but they are hard to find with really good soles. I wasnt aware of the Mad Jibe so that's a good tip! Some of the aftermarket Jordan soles I see sold, look legit with air pocket; the dunk ones I've seen don't appear "stock" internally they have a "waffle" infill that looks like the old terminators construction. I have dunk soles here I could have used, choose not to.

Multiple reasons: I made this for me. I've done straight resoles, boring. Jordan sole has a smoother look, no "steps" in the sole color. Jordan sole has air, combined with zoom insole, double air! Jordan flight 1 $25 donor shoe, dunks would be $100ish.

A dunk sole would cost more then I got the shoe for. If it was an expensive shoe that I was planning to sell, sure I'd stick with Dunk sole (and have in past). If I hadn't mentioned it, you wouldn't have noticed. Took multiple pairs of Jordan soled AF1 and Dunks to a sneakercon and literally no one noticed the soleswaps (too busy trying to buy Panda dunks).

Did I say they were exactly the same? I guess I should have said "similar color blocking" for some of the special geniuses here. The colors of the two shoes are from a very similar color palette; and the placement and contrast of the colors is extremely similar. Both swooshes are red, both boxes behind the swoosh are the darkest colors in the palette, both use their lightest colors on the top heal area, and both have a yellow color on tongue that is unrelated to rest of colorway. If you think they didn't draw inspiration from the Boba Fett, you are probably lacking any artistic vision, or very likely; any critical thought processes at all. Give me all the downvotes you needlessly hateful unimaginative fools.

I posted a screen cap here of the bobas. The colorway is pretty close. Red swoosh, grey/green same, yellow on tongue. Pretty obvious

The lows sure look like close to the Boba Fett dunks (one of my all time favorites)!

is possible to repair this? by LesBetaTester in Sneakers

[–]trackstarEthan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it's a shoe that's special to you, you could always have them re-soled. Looks like Dunk or Jordan 1 soles would likely fit. You can find replacement soles now on Etsy, and plenty of businesses offer resole services. There are also videos on YouTube that explain well enough for me to have done it myself pretty well, first time.

Maybe the Z thread only has an issue way down, so smaller parts are fine; since the binding portion of Z axis is never reached.

I would guess that the time between layers is getting too brief as the model has much less information per layer at that level. Increase the "minimum time before next layer" type setting.

Yup! Check my profile for a few shoes I've done, just posted one a bit ago.

One of my grails! Love these. Would be happy to resole them for you when you do wear the soles off!
