The shoe is nowhere to be seen on NDC UK so they are leaving it late to notify people if it really is the 15th.....

The PRM Pendeltons have the improved new shape.
While the Essential Mesh&Suede unfortunately still have the old shape.

I made her one promise so far. No boy/man will ever be able to flex on her. Ever.

There's a guy on IG that makes them. He made a pair of Cherrywoods too. The Elephants were like $175 and the Cherrywoods were $200+ iirc bc of the materials. That's just silly for a pair that she'll wear for 3-6 months. Once she gets to a point where she can wear a pair for 6-12 months, then I might pull the trigger.

Made these for my son a couple of weeks ago. The elephant print isn`t perfect though but they`re close enough for my first custom attempt. If anyone wants a list of materials / advice, drop me a pm.
@dblplay1212 congrats! so cute

You made those? Well done! No chance mine would come out that good.

Trust me, I am not the kind of guy who`s good at this. A lot of patience and good research did the trick. Sometimes I didn`t touch them for days, only worked on them when I had time on my hands. It seems way harder than it actually was.

These are the Angelus products I used.
Steps:
1. Apply deglazer to the leather parts of the base shoe so that the new acrylic leather paint sticks to the material
2. Apply several thin coats of leather paint and allow some hours to dry inbetween
3. For the mesh and Lining (basically any kind of fabrics) you need to mix the Acrylic Leather Paint with Angelus 2-soft (1:1 ratio) and dry it with a heat gun (300º F for 3-5 minutes) right after painting it so that the fabric absorbs the paint and remains soft and flexible. Both steps are required and not optional
4. I used black leather dye for the first coat of fabrics as it`s well absorbed by the material, but this is not essential
5. Apply several coats of Matte Finisher to seal the paint. Even if it`s called Matte Finisher, the finisher is still a bit shiny. A few drops of Duller added to the finisher had very good matte results
I used flat black, light grey and for the Swoosh a mixture of south beach and blue turquoise (compared the mixture with my Elephant until I was happy with the result) You should use leather strips (can be purchased separately for a few bucks) and test what the mixture actually looks like applied to leather before finally applying it to the shoe.
The shoe on top was the base model I used (719956-100), 2015 release
