Tempted to skip on buying Tb3s or Dooms and going after a pair of only tried on Chi 1s I'm seeing on my local FB selling group.

I wondered how they would look with the red tongue tag.  Hell it doesn't even matter to me anymore  :pimp: :pimp:  

Who did the swap and how much did it cost you??



Yea, I would have preferred to use a pair of my CM's for the swap because of the black/white tag, but I'm not ready to destroy those yet.

Roberts Shoe Repair (Atwater Villiage/Los Angeles)
I removed the donors myself and he did the rest for 25. He used the existing holes when he sewed them in, so it's a really clean job.

Thanks man.

Thanks.  I've been putting it off because I want an extra pair to keep OG.

Going to grab a pair of Yin Yangs off NDC with the 25% disco

Hopefully I can get another pair of BTs from StockX with my $25 off coupon code.

I'll check out my local shoe repair shop for the swap.  Thanks for the info!!!

No problem! That was the exact same thought as mine.. I had an early pair from NiceKicks and was able to double up on SNKRS, so I jumped right into it. That StockX discount was too good to pass up with how these prices are falling so I did grab a 3rd. Damn 1's man.

You could also scan Craigslist or eBay for a used pair of CM's ( if you like the tag ) and use those tongues while saving a few bucks. Good luck with the swap dude!!
 


Just got these back with the tongue swap. Definitely loving them a bit more.

I like it like you've done as well. Whenever I do a custom, I llike to do something slightly different, when possible, than the inspiration so that's it stands out as custom and not a replica :smokin

Thanks dude. A big part of my love for 1s is the color blocking, black tongue, black laces.. so this was a no brainer for me. Something I've been thinking about for a while is a black tongue swap in some UNC's.. I think those would look great with black or blue laces sitting on a black tongue. Once I grab a pair it'll get done. Appreciate the feedback.
 
@Aaron1s

Those look nice with the red/white tag. I was trying to paint that picture in my head. I came in here and you painted it for me.

As for me, I gave up on the black Yin Yang tongue swap and decided to go after a pair of used 2016 banned 1s so it's easier.
