      Never understood? Many people are fans of shoes and many look sick and are good products with a lot of work behind them. Limited editions of anything that is cool and usable is going for much higher prices then the initial release price.

  • @SOLOXTRM

    Great work on these Air Max 1 , the Atmos safari is one of the dopest colourways ever used for that shoe. The "Carharrt" fabric, the elephant print, the green Swooshs on the backside, the small ones at the front on the toe box...it is a true Air Max and after 20 years of release you can call it a classic which screams for a re-release.

      For $1800, you could source a shoemaker to build you a new pair, that price is absolutely not warranted. This type of thing is why I haven't been able to get AF1s since I was a kid and it's only getting worse.

  • @muzkat101
    @muzkat101 2 роки тому +2

    Wow!! You are a visionary... I'd never have thought those shoes were salvageable -- they'd been in the trash. But what an incredible transformation; true art and skill... well done.

    • @muzkat101
      @muzkat101 2 роки тому

      @Mork I'd say that you may be missing the point of my post, politely speaking; this is no different than buying parts from a junker car to restore a classic car... I think that is exactly what was done here.
      There was nothing special about the new pair of shoes and salvaging good parts to restore and modify a classic pair of shows was what he had done, and done well. I for one wouldn't know where to start in doing this, and I doubt I would ever develop the skill to do it.
      Also, when I said 'visionary', I was actually thinking about how many pairs of old shoes I have tossed or donated, never thinking they were salvageable.... seeing what this young man can do with an old pair of shoes, to me, is quite visionary.

    These turned out amazing as do every restoration you do. You ain’t lying though when it comes to these crazy prices some of these shoes are going for nowadays. I was just looking for a pair of the 2016 Jordan 2 lows and remember when you could barely give them away and now people are selling them on Goat for over 450 in most sizes which is insane. Even beat used pairs were selling for over what they were retail.

    You should try some compressed air to get the heavy dust and dirt instead of using a brush. The brush tends to push some of the dirt deep into the fibers. Compressed air can blast everything out without even touching the fabric

    best shoes ever. they had a leather heel grip that did not slide. so no heel burn. they molded to my feet.
    i threw them out when i stopped running? around 2002.
