Nike Santa Monica still has sizes

What was your process for ironing them?

damp towel over the front & bending down the front part of shoe on a edge of a table while holding the end of the shoe. After that I’ll start ironing with the towel over the toebox. Moving one side to another & not pressing hard on it but just enough to see a difference

Quadrupled up on these, one pair from SNKRS. I’m 53 and have been buying Air Jordan’s from day one up until the Air Jordan 20 or so, I think I am good till it’s over for me.

Hope this is me man!

Salute OG!

I’ll top that — a local “resell” shop in the chi has the yin yang blacks for $380

****ing morons, man. I don’t understand why the shops accept them from people asking wholly unrealistic prices. They’re just going to take up space in the store with no hope of ever selling.

 

[kilroythedon]

hate to say this, but these have more of a banana toe than the WC4s.
copped 4 pairs of the WC and 3 pairs of these BC.
besides the slight toe curl, I prefer these in every other way.

Young heads don't remember how a black colorway back in those days 30 years ago was a statement!!
started with MJ/Jordans and went through the Fab Five.

These are a top 3 all time in my book. The Nike Air sets these off hard.
quality is acceptable, ... only one of my 6 shoes had a very slightly tilted back tab & seam. everything else is on point

All this!

 

[danewera]

My only question is, what heat setting did you use on the iron? No steam?

Im using a jiffy steamer. Steam comes out but a steady amount. No settings to change on the model I have

Before I put shoetrees in

With shoetrees in

After ironing with shoetrees still in

Going to leave the shoetrees in overnight but I’m satisfied how these things look now. Way better than that cliff toe trash. Only thing is I will say it does have alil ripple toe to it now but these jawns bout to in heavy rotation anyways. Gonna get creased up regardless. I gotta figure what to do about making the lines white

That’s how you do it, playboy. Thumbs up.

I’m gonna do the same thing I did to my metallic 5 which is saturate the toebox and iron them down with a damp black tee. If you don’t completely saturate the Durabuck IT WILL **** your shoes up. It fades the black and it’s not really fixable.

 

[SoleByThePound]

Press iron onto toe box seems logical.

No **** Sherlock! His process would include if he used a towel/ t shirt, if he dampened it or not and what the setting on the iron is.

 

[Vegeta's hairline]

My connection was so slow today so I caught an L.

 

[danewera]

Im probably late but I didnt know the netting on the side is not glue to the mesh. Just messing with them to look like 99s lol. Was the CDPs & ‘12 netting was loose too? I never own them, only the 99’s

I didn't get these but for future reference for when I try this with other shoes:

So you spray water on the toe box to get it wet

Then you put a damp black tee over it

Then you hit with the iron?

-PS: Per our agreement, when you scrap the the edges and put a flame to it to stop the fraying, please post pics.

Time to retire the 2008 relics.

Thank god the midsole won’t turn out like that. With all the stupid crap with colors and models JB has put out lately, they did us a favor by fixing the midsole part of the AJ 3,4,5,6, etc.

 

[abdc9]

Congrats to everyone able to cop. Seems like people ate well.

PSA: please, please, please stop wearing these out factory laced. You look like a Bama (all disrespect to people actually from Alabama). Unless you’re hooping in them, stop choking them up. Every pair you wear choked up, a sneaker angel falls from heaven. And you be wondering why you take so many Ls.

Cut them in half and let’s see if they have forefoot air.

 

[cool...but rude]

Y'all brave as ****. I'm scared as hell to take an iron to my kicks

Nice job though to the guy that did it

 

[shawn_chrystafur]

How is sizing on these? True To Size or .5 up/down? I’m sure the answer is somewhere in these comments I just don’t feel like searching them all ‍
