Not sure if it has been mentioned, but has anyone considered 3D-Printing the plastic inserts that sit on top of the lace holes?

Nice and clean. Probably the best one I've seen. What did you need the ruler for?

Me being meticulous, I measured the spacing for the middle and toe box hole from my metallic 5's and used it as a guideline for this shoe.

great job but why not punch the rest of the holes? Also is it possible to unstitch the tongue? Do they have the elastic bands like other 5s?

Thanks! I can only speak for myself on the fit, being that I have a narrow foot, it feels like it supposed to now (to me and my feet) being that its not snug/tight anymore. And I'd be to paranoid to do someone else's shoe, the burden and stress of "if I mess up or they don't like what I did." Trust me, you can do it, take your time and be careful.

I didn't punch the rest of the holes because I never used the secondary holes on any of my 5 models and I've never laced them up to the top. As

stated I too wanted to keep some original form factor. If I ever change my mind I can always go back and punch them. The tongue appears it can be unstitched as its threading along the West Philadelphia embossed words and where I punched my holes near the toe box. Also yes the tongue has the elastic bands on the inside sides.

So JB really did an easter egg on this shoe, kept the original components for people who really wanted to get rid of the gimmick

Think that JB should've released 'em with laces. Will just took off the laces on his GR pair so why unnecessarily complicate things by having your customers buy a hole puncher and extra laces? Just my $0.02 as the shoes look 100X better with laces.

Good job. Makes me want to cop a pair just to do this. But then again I don't want to mess it up. I'll just wait until they retro them again in a few years
