@ RaptorsUndefeated: thanks, yes it is a custom, which I made myself. On Nike ID I tried to go as close as possible to the actual Game 7 shoes.Once I received them, I first looked for a golden paint that was as close as possible colorwise to the gold that was already on the shoe.
First I painted the midsoles gold. The most complicated work was actually covering the whole shoe with paper and tape except for the midsole part. Then I painted the NIke logo and the KI logo black and finally I added the gold speckles to the outsole.
On the tongue I customized "Game 7" and "61916" on Nike ID

Appreciate the response. Which metallic gold paint did you use for the midsole and gold speckles on the outsole? I might try it myself. Saw Angelus selling the metallic gold paint...

Same here. But with my last 2-3 iD's I have made, Nike would not send me any updates until they were basically shipped. I recently did some AM90 iD's and basically got my order confirmation and 3 1/2 weeks later got my shipping e-mail. Got kind of used to it now, lol. You'll get them.

Great finish, even got the gold flakes on the sole - GJ!
Thanks man, I am very happy with the outcome as well, might do another game 7 ID and a game 3 ID on Nike and then I will do the neccessary modifications once I will get them!

I went to a paint supplier and got a custom color mixing, since I had to make sure that the gold would cover the black midsole completly. The most important thing is that the gold covers the previous color 100%!

It's the truth. Ive had several IDs remade bc of the bad quality... I've seen my shoes in all parts of Asia too. I feel sorry for all the Nike factory workers there. They work in the craziest environments, and the pay is little 2 nothing... if they made them in the USA, we would be paying way more
