To each their own. I know dudes in here who think bootcut jeans still look good so it’s a matter of taste. Ima take ripples in the toebox over banana shoes all day long.

Bruh I’ll take those creases all day over the alternative. With the lines on the Durabuck too?
Those look fire. Almost look og

Consider it a lesson learned. For leather uppers even socks will work as I used socks for my BC3's when ironing the toe. But when it comes to Durabuck (or Nikebuck if you will) a shoe tree is definitely required. Socks won't keep the toe completely and firmly filled and they also won't retain their shape under the heat and pressure being put on the toe compared to a shoe tree. On a side note, despite the creases they look nice. Slanted toe and grey rand lines really do complete these.

Same here man. My pair got some ripples too but I'm also wearing the **** out of my pair so creases is gonna come regardless if I like it or not.

Here's some more comparsion pics I took of my other swapped 1999 pair, and the 2019's.

Both are size 12's.

I know y'all are tired of me, but I want y'all to understand what I meant by the wing placement, still being off. You can't tell in this first pic really, but this small detail is very crucial to the entire shoe been off.

You can't tell in the pic above, on the literal sides, but take a look at this pic of the medial sides...

It's VERY noticeable.

^^^^^^^

Y'all see how it's perfectly centered on the 1999's, but it veers a little too far to the right, on the 2019's. I know it seems minor, and 90% of this board will say I'm complaining, but this little detail throws the whole look, and sleekness off. This is also because the 2019, is still a few centimeters short. Also, the ankle collar is super narrow, but longer on the 2019's.

The CDP's (2008's) & 2019's.

VVVVV

It's SUPER ****** up that the CDP's were low top's, and SUPER ATROCIOUS, but the heel tab is wide, like the 1999's.



Nonetheless, the 2019's are still nice, and also a PERFECT example of increasing the height on a sneaker that should've had it in the first place. All flaws, and Gentry trolling aside, I still need 4 more pairs.

What’s good y’all, if you don’t wanna go through the problems of dealing with paint. Trying using a white crayola color pencil. I just got done doing mine and I’m happy with the results.
First pic is the final result. Second pic left shoe is without and right shoe is after I applied it. Took only 10 mins to do. They should hold up.

Yo folks been really complaining for almost a month straight lol

And there’s no sign of them slowing down either

I feel y’all pain tho

 

[doublemesh96]

I told y’all. Paint is over doing it. Colored pencil or pastel! In this case, a crayon pencil. I’d even use a grey crayon pencil. Yep, that’s it. Grey crayon for the win IMO. You’re welcome. Now somebody try it and let’s see the results.

 

[dhtowng]

White color pencil.

Wow. Thanks. Great minds think alike I guess.

Gonna do my Black/Infrared 6s next. May not be tonight, but when I do I will post in that thread.

I usually iron with shoe trees but this time I tried by stuffing socks.

Looks stomped on.
But if you prefer them that way, to each their own. Cool pics
