I've seen these Kenlu posts that show shoe dissections and I thought to myself - instead of throwing out old shoes - cut em up!

I'm also a zoom-air-aholic. I crave it in my bball shoes and figured, why not get my own for my dress shoes?

After cleaning out the basement this weekend, I found a crap load of kicks I outgrew / beat down / don't wear anymore. I found a pair of 18.5s. Instead ofthrowing them out, I was gonna get that Full Zoom out of them.

Here are pics: PS all you need is a utility knife and scissors

Here they are before the destruction:


Removed the laces:


Used utility knife to detach the upper from the midsole on both sides:




Used scissors to cut the upper on both sides:



Peel forward


Cut off upper


Cut off inner bootie



Carefully cut the white stitching


Full zoom! Gimmie that


I'll take that heel one too!


Any questions....hit me up. Hope you enjoy!

Zoom Turbine
Foamposite Penny
Foamposite Pro
Lebron 5

And probably some others.

Congrats fam, hope it works out for ya.
I should of done this with my OG XIXs...instead threw em away ha.
 
I also did that with some turbines.

I got one out, but the other one was stuck/glued in. It really ticked me off and I ended up slicing my finger and popping the insole.

Very nice work NYGiants
 
XVIII's are probably the most comfortable Jordans IMO. Just got another new pair of black lows recently.

You think other sneaker companies make their kicks in platinum and gold

I was actually about to do this to my ZK1's. lol

Hard to actually go through with, but I might.

Plan to toss the zoom under the sockliner of some HyperDunks.

Wow nice thinking and execution. I'm definitely gonna do this to my CDP XVIII once I beat them down, they're sooooo comfy so I'd love to keep thatcomfort for some other shoes!
