THE OFFICIAL AIR MAX 1 THREAD

None taken. Toe box shape is a personal preference. Some prefer different shape than others. For me, every pair I can think of, (that I have) has needed some attention. Not alot of doctoring, but definitely some.

Keep in mind, I don't iron any of my toe boxes. Just shoe trees, moisture and thumb pressure

Didn't know you could reshape by that method.

Busting out these bad boys

I remember when they had the elephant print option. I should've made some pairs

I guess some wouldn't consider it a reshape at all. I just coach it into not being so boxy.

Massaging the toebox works, i did it to my new balances before i realized i could still iron the suede using the wet towel.

 

[geist 6one7]

Aka the @Pinkyy90 method.

im ready to pull the trigger on a pair of dawns, and now i cant find them anywhere in my size. go figure.

 

[rickross]

I realized they were getting rare and prices were creeping up. Glad I pulled the trigger last month.

 

[Fozz]

I need to find a way to clean my Dawns. Scared I might ruin the shoe.

 

[migu420]

Suede eraser and brushes, if you clean the mesh and get suede or leather wet, just blot the excess, andlet air dry.

Had some extra time on my hands lately so I ordered some paint and tried my first custom. still need some touch ups but I like them better than the original so I’m happy.

Yo! That’s exactly what I said Nike got wrong on these. Nice to see someone else thought so too. Looks real good but I’ve been too chicken to paint the swoosh. Well done.

B BCHEE2384 Just noticed you did the sock liner too. Wouldn’t be my choice but not knocking yours. Did you use 2-thin or GAC900 mixed with paint for the liner?

They look way better with the orange swoosh.

Do they run snug? Could I get away going half size up?

Everyday/ quarantine beaters

Seriously need to get a brand new pair

honestly I was planing on keeping the sock liner white but I had an area where the brown from the heel bled pretty bad on the white and it bugged me so it forced my hand. I used angelus 2-soft on all areas.

Think its finally time to just cop some Londons. Prices are going up and pairs are drying up.

 

[AirLoMax614]

These restocked on Nike

 

[rickross]

Nah, but maybe you could go with a big insole to make up the difference. It’s worked for me in the past.

 

[hnguy4]

mudguards on the IDs lookin thiccc..they need to make all pairs like that

lol shoulda stopped after the orange swoosh, eh on the lining and the tan make over... not needed IMO

 

[Fozz]

My IDs were delayed and then cleared in Vietnam, but there hasn’t been any update in the tracking info.
Is that normal?
