I finished my second sole swap project last night and I wanted to share the results with you all today:
The command force midsoles had long since crumbled away and the uppers were prettty beat up, so since I had already done one sole swap sucessfully, I decided it was time to bring these back to life. I used a pair of late 90's turf shoes as the donors, left some of the material around the edges at the bottom to help get a better seal and to cover up places where they didnt match up. They are both sz 12 and fit like a glove even before I glued them.
I know fusing early 90's basketball with late 90's turf is a risk, but there just arent alot of alternatives and I really wanted a wearable pair of these, even if I had to compromise on them not looking that og anymore.Im also thinking about doing an og neon color with black splatter or some sort of design on the back of them, but I havent decided exactally what yet. Let me know how yall think they came out!
