He's done so many customs, that it probably takes in only a few hours. But yeah I think sneakerheadinthebay charges more than that.

For $55 there is no way I would have high expectations for a quality custom job, and no way would it take him just a few hours. You can't rush these things and expect quality.

Has anyone seen fakes of the Laser 1's? I've seen a couple pairs locally that people are offering for below retail. Wanted this pair, but couldn't justify the $180 price tag.

You may be able to find pairs left at jimmy jazz for $109 so that isn't surprising. People in my groups still want $170 for them

If you have steady hands and practiced enough, I'm sure it's a walk in the park. I know after doing my first custom, I can do it much faster now.

Lol...last thing that crossed my mind. Besides, very few have the guts to do something like that in public regardless of how bad these NT keyboard warriors claim they are in real life.
I'm just a purist I suppose. I've never even done an ID, despite being tempted several times. Have a hard enough time wearing the pairs I have now to toss a custom into the mix that I'll forget I even have.
The one pair that almost made me say F it and do one is @AirThompson
's New Love 1's custom. Best one I've seen to date.
Those customs are legendary, I have a pair of $80 DS Hawks/HRs in my closet waiting for me to start the job... I think this might be my summer project haha

Really wanted waxed laces but couldnt find them in the 72 inches that 1s use. So I bought regular black laces but in the 72 inches so im happy

Yea.. I got them in 63 so I'm going to have to wear them untied (which kinda shortens the sockliner's life) or super tight at the holes before the ones you have them at. I thought it was going to be long enough but nope. Going to look around. I'll let the thread know if I find one. Might not have the gold aglets but you can just buy the manual gold yeezy ones on ebay.

Nice!!! I'm also working on my second custom. How did you keep your shoes from being too glossy?

Check your local City Gear boys. Someone hit me up for a sz 10 weeks ago from Jimmy Jazz so they have 24 hours to message me back, otherwise, someone PM me if they need a sz 10.

For anyone who still wants to cop and can't find anything under retail, footlocker has 20% off today only. $150 isn't bad.
EDIT: sizes 12, 12.5, 13, 17 left.
