OFFICIAL: Nike Zoom FLYKNIT Collection - Racers + Trainers ONLY - (SIZE POLL ON FIRST PAGE. CHECK TH

White ones (2017) came out great in the washer, look nearly brand new. The black ones (2012) came out good too, uppers are super clean but the top part of the midsole is flaking off (assuming this would’ve prob happened with wear anyways).

Never repainted a midsole before. Figured I can just sand off that black strip on the midsole and repaint with some special paint?

How’d you wash em in the machine? Pillow case and a delicate cycle?

I sold my 2018 Blk/Wh Trainers because the white flyknit really makes so much of a difference in my eyes.

I repainted the black soles on the OGs that got scuffed in the wash using this

^^ use the same exact one just make sure to add finisher to it so it can last

Got it, thanks everyone

So based on some googling and these last few posts, this should result in a reasonably durable midsole (just the upper part this is painted black):
1) wipe down midsoles
2) run some acetone over the midsoles to remove remaining black paint, let dry
3) 1-2 light coats of Angelus flat black paint, let dry between coats
4) 1-2 light coats of Angelus matte finisher , let dry between coats

Any steps missing or other tips? Know it won’t be perfect, but wanna do it right

This hold up well, or more of a temporary fix?

Yep, pillow case, delicate cycle, cold water, just a small amount of detergent. Then air dry

The midsoles on the 2012 black pair looked a little flaked up before I put them in. The 2017 white pair are totally fine

It actually works pretty good, for touch ups.

FL1 X Mountain Fly (with a Black FKT tongue swap) Hybrid - MultiColor (by GOVRN)

These feel AMAZING. I definitely will be sending out more Flyknit X MF projects.

 

[getyashinebox]

2012s with a fresh coat of paint (2-3 flat black, 2 matte finisher). Will see how it lasts…

(btw Angelus flat black + “2-soft” fabric adder works very well for painting flyknit itself)

Batch 15 was sent out.

Here are the two Flyknit projects:

Flyknit Chukka X Pegasus Trail 2 - Sedona


Flyknit Lunar 2iD X Mountain Fly 1 - MultiColor


After Batch 16 (mostly AM1 projects), I'll be back to sending more Flyknit projects out, which will mostly be MF/Trail based.

I definitely copped these on sale as a consolation prize for missing the multicolors that year

Keeping with the flyknit theme today.

 

[nice jahb]

Might have to buy up all the flyknit maxes when they drop to 80 and below. Then i can buy some used Racers and get my illustrayt on with the Govrn sole swap thing going.
