You could do some nice work with those Thermals once the print is removed.

Probably better off doing a sole swap with some pewters

I just realized this but I like that volt sole and the simple black/grey/silver upper on foams with a nice colored outsole it's just a clean look

Hmm I actually like that idea.. Silver Camo with a clear sole.. i mean if the soles get dirty (unprotected aka.. raw treading), they would turn yellow green anyways..lol

I think he was talking about putting the volt soles on the pewter foams...

 

[bigj505]

^^^ bingo.

 

[gamerg]

ahh.. i dunno the pewters are fine with the clear.. the volt sole would stand out though.. but my pewters havent been raw-treaded so its still an iced-out look.

Smh!

Smh!

^^ hey man.. I have to be "press photo" fresh when I wear foams.. Pewters with yucky soles are soo Ehh to me it throws off my color coordination.. With a pissed sole that was "raw-treaded" i cant wear a white tee ..I have to go with the gray ..

I saw some laces in FTL today that looked to be a perfect match for the foams. They are labeled "Oval Laces." I may pick up a pair tomorrow to compare.

It's not about being a baller fam, or even so much about our differences in philosophy in regards to how we like our sneakers/maintain them or whatever.

It's just that it feels like you somehow find a way to mention it in every other post you make in here Like, we get it son; chill.

lol..nah not at all.. I'm just a proud foam wearer who wants to maintain his investment.

Used shoes = investments?

 

[Gordonson]

Used shoes = investments?

I read that and was like

But as always, "different strokes for different folks." Do whatever you want man

 

[gamerg]

Used shoes = investments?

lol they were new when i bought them.. I had to spend 200 or whatever i paid for them.. I'm not throwing that away that easily..lol so i invest in methods to make sure they still look new.

Started my acetoning tonight... Here are the results an hour after.




Both sides are done... Just need to do detail clean up on the edges. Hardest part is that you ahve to keep changing cotton balls and getting rid of the little tiny paint residues. But overall I'm happy with the results.

Now need to find some black or white laces.

Can you post close up pics? like around the edges? thanks

Edges are not completed yet... Have to do some detail clean up around the edges.

 

[bigj505]

I got tracking for my asteroids today. Should have both those and the thermals tomorrow..... Then I make magic

 

[jango]

Earlier I acetoned the inside half of one of my thermals, and to complete the edges I just used cotton swabs. Once I soaked the graphic enough with the swab, I just used my finger nails to scrape away as much as possible away from the outsole and such.

I understand what you're saying. Sneakers aren't exactly cheap.

Tried cotton swabs, can't get them deep enough. Thinking about using toothpick.
