First go at reconstruction

[luclarson]

This is my first go at reconstruction. The entire shoe is hand-stitched. There are some places that aren't 'tight' but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Toe and heel are leather from a catcher's mitt, the blue is denim from an old pair of jeans and the  swoosh is leather from a baseball. Thoughts?

Thanks guys. I also painted these a while back. I'm no painter, but it's fun to rep Big Red.

You should try would burning all those scales, It would look amazing and give the shoe some texture

Interesting idea. It's supposed to be corn for the Cornhuskers, but they do look a little scaley.

Suggestions on burning them in? Wood burner?
