jordan VI black/red nubuck to leather conversion

[vyacon]

my project to try to get closer to the look of the original 1991 black/infrared. experimented with the black/varsity red first in case it turned out badly. pretty satisfied with the results, i'll eventually do this to my infrared pair.

Yea, but the rest of the shoe is the wrong material. It don't look that good IMO.

guys, stop going off on these obsessive tangents
looks like you took a magic marker to the back of those
i always say to wear your shoes, but in this case,
put em away - out of reach - take a step back
and avoid ruining your expensive shoes
yall in candyland if you think that looks hot in the streets

MAN, IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!!! LEAVE THEM THINGS ALONE, NOW THEY LOOK FAKE! RETROS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE EXACT DUPLICATES. PUT THEM DOWN AND LEAVE THEM ALONE! TRY TO  TAKE THOSE BACK TO THE STORE AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK. JUST SAY THAT THEY CAM THAT WAY AND IT MUST BE A FACTORY DEFECT OR SOMETHING, BUT THOSE ARE NOT THE LOOK!
