crazy to see where he pulled his inspiration from

To those with the FBs, I highly suggest changing out those skinny stringed laces, I found some random thicker flat laces I had laying around and swapped them out, (they look more like OG AM1 sized) and I thnk it makes a huge difference, these aren't long enough so I'll have to get longer ones, but here's a pic to give a better idea.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the skinny laces on em. Haven't got around to swapping mine yet. Looks good though!
 
This is the guide. I was actually thinking about doing it the other day. I think you can maintain the shape with spray starch during the ironing process

a bunch of pages back, someone posted tips on ironing out the toebox as to get it closer to the correct shape

well, i too was slightly disappointed in the toebox, so i said the heck with it & did the ironing thing...(a modified approach varying slightly from the tips)

i'll have to get some pics posted...but, in the meantime, i will tell you that it worked! w/o burning the material - the toeboxes now look sleek like the original
& older retro releases

(did this with the og obsidians)

^that's what the original guy giving the tip said...

i'll have to see, but they have held the new shape already for about a week with no wear just sitting in the box

Great vid... I'm pretty sure this may have been answered at some point or another, but I wonder why nike went with a smaller air unit over the years
 
That black purple pair is nice but man the speckle is over kill for me...
 
I hate eBay, sold my FB's because I need a smaller size and of course it's a new 0 feedback bidder who isn't responding
