Angelus paint is made for leather but is a very good sticking paint on clean areas and is a very malleable coating. It can move and conform with out cracking. Its probably better than what Nike uses on 90s an the QSs... Do 2 coats, let the first one dry all the way before the second coat. No masking... Just be careful and take your time. I like to see where my brush goes... It is too much of a risk for me to paint on tape when I know if I just put my brush where it needs to go then I wont get in trouble (Thats what she said!). I'm always afraid that I will pull the tape up to see where the brush bristles got under their and FARKED me up!!! lol Then just let it dry...

I will post pics of those Euros I got off Greg a while back in a few....

Edit: Also, if anyone is trying to do this on bursts, make sure you use the duller. Bursts dont have a glossy midsole and Angelus does come out with that same sheen that we all know and love from some of our favorite AM1s! But the burst needs that flat white so use the duller... I will post pics of those as well when I am done...

where do you get angelus??

 

[nikefnhead]

^ just google it. There's lots of mail order places. This paint is awesome for midsoles becauses it allows for stretching.




 PARRA/PATTA NEWS : Shoes will cost 250 EUR cash only, only 1 per person. 56 pairs(hope this part is not so), 21 Mercer will have them the following week.
Looking for more info. Will keep everyone informed.

That's what's up. 

Hope you get the job (and hopefully they have a casual dress code so you can still rock Maxes)

I finally saw those pics of those four new Air Max 95s...absolutely horrible...even the fake vendors wouldn't cop.

dope 90's Dave & Jibby

yuku is tripping....did Gooey come in here and shut it down yet again?

 

[jeffgdula]

possibly my favorites yet:

 

[denverairforce]

they need to get this yuku business sorted out, this is becoming an every-other-day thing where posts are on some "now you see me, now you don't" bs.

anyway, hey Andrew, micmorales did come in here not too long ago and say they were gonna drop at patta then at another store each week after, so maybe there are 56 pairs at patta, but then allotments for each of the other stores getting them in addition to that 56? i dunno. I would still much rather have the black pair, but I'm coming around to the maroons...

 

[tak]

Prok- Escapes

!!!  Ill try and be tuned in.....  I need those  Escape's Mayhem cough-cough

  

Jibby- Sik Wit It

 

[gooeywooey]

is it me or does this thread move faster whenever i can't get on my computer?!


some dope stuff on the last few pages FAM - Infras, Clot iDs, Navi samples, Nely's mini Navi's, Storms, J1 and W&W inspireds, etc etc

Cris - VERY nice job on those Pantone iDs, the colours go together really well.
J - nice c/w on those... just when i thought you were taking a break

iDs to come soon too!

ps. lovin' that Drogba gif... i'm guessing that was after last year's (fixed) 2nd leg against Barca.
spenserhawk - never seen those 95s before

i've been on a massive '95 tip lately.
Jake - fantastic restoration job on those Urawas. i think i'm finally going to dabble in that very soon.
Brian - i'm VERY intrigued now to know what you are talking about

Chris - dope pics as always.


i couldn't get that 95s link to work, but by the sounds of it, i'm not missing anything?

so anyway, yesterday i added to my recent sneaker buying onslaught with pair #8 in 9 days

#3 turned up yesterday which i'm completely ecstatic about -
DS with box for $175, '99 Midnight Navy 87s:

sorry for all the pics... i couldn't help myself

(*edit - had to add the side profile... i couldn't get a proper shot earlier today - Nike, PLEASE take note of the shape

)

 

[neukicks]

^^ phew, atleast they arent my size,

 

[nuggets]

dope find on those 99's...the all grey 99's still haunt me in my dreams

I'm waiting to see all 7 pairs he purchased over the last week

.

On another note,

, sometimes I hate dealing with ebay sellers. Paid for some bursts on the 22nd and haven't received them let alone a message from the seller. Shot him a message today and he responded with "my bad, I was sick. Just shipped them yesterday". What the hell? How you gonna charge me $20 for priority mail and then not send the damn shoes?! Hopefully no one in here is the seller

.

Sorry for the rant...

KVN - dope IDs
Vivrantchino21 - Congrats on the job offer!
NikeFNHead - hopefully they drop more than 56 pairs

 

[baybully650]

Gooey - those just made me cringe... I'm scared to see what else you have coming in. Great pickup.
