I was just texting with him 2 days ago about a pair of custom 90's based off an AM1 colorway. Going to try to wrap that up this afternoon.

His work is amazing. I've never seen it in hand but man it looks good in pics. I love how he takes a colorway from one shoe and puts in on other model. His AM90 Salmon Toes were bonkers. I recently got a pair of AM1 Greystones so I'm working with on a AM90 Greystone to match them. Should be doped.

Got my donor pair in!
I actually like how the green pops little more on the donor pair, and it really matches the back heel logo!
Sending them out tomorrow to get fixed up!
Edit: before you say "but what about the gum sole?!" He is adding the original gum sole over the new midsole
What's wrong with the current soles?

Anybody use shoe stretchers? I need to widen the toe box of my Obsidians a little bit. Will this work? Any better recommendations? Thanks.

ive used shoe stretchers. i make sure i measure the intial width and length as a reference. ive also heard heads use a freezer bag filled with water and overnight it in the freezer. i dont have the luxury of leaving sneakers in my freezer so no go.

Thanks for the tips. Ill measure and try the stretcher. I don't need much more room hopefully this works.

Gave reshaping a try today. Some came out better than others but I think all are improvements. Started with the premium safaris.

This one didn't do as well. It was so bulky in the toe that when I did the reshape it causes some creasing in the toe box. The mesh is really loose now too. I think using the shoerev8r thing would have helped on a pair like to keep it stretched out.

The Picnics are one of my favorite pairs lately but the toe was atrocious. I think these came out alright. A little creasing but a big improvement.

How much are the AM1 'Picnics' going for nowadays? Wouldn't mind copping them sometime soon

I think I got mine for $130. Typically they sell from there to $150. I need to get the AM90 sister.

That's surprisingly less than I expected, looks like its time to hunt them down online
