Hey guys,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post, so bear with me. I am currently in the process of restoring my old pair of space jams that I have had for many years. My father's friend found them in the back of a little souped up Honda and decided to gift them to me. It was awkward as **** since the soles were as yellow as dehydrated camel piss, but I decided to take them since the rest of the sneaker was intact. I decided to wear them for a while and when I became tired of them decided to give them to my cousin who in return gradually wore them out even further. I decided to take them back...so HERE are my gradual postings as of today. Be prepared to witness something you have probably never seen before; the disassembly and restoration of the 2000 Space Jams, enjoy
Terrible:
!
Soles chipped through use:
Tag: Size 10
JUMPMAN JAM:
Compared to the 2012 Bred XI's:
Decided to clean them up with some (Refreshed shoe cleaner):
I wasn't kidding when I said Camel Piss Yellow:
It is def. not supposed to detach like that:
Chunk missing off of the back:
It is an industrial heat blower which works at extreme temperatures. It will be used to detach soles in orde to apply new ones, which I hope to receive from a fake Jordan website.
Is it wrong of me to attach soles from a fake pair of Space Jams onto mine? leave feed back.
Heating It Up:
Sole Is removed, there is a lot of dirt under the sole which has to be washed.
So I decide to leave the Sole flaps out to dry:
Decide to wash the bottom to remove surface glue:
Found the hole:
Kinda Looks a like a crocodile to me (only works if you have a decent imagination) :
Decide to detach the Mid sole with the heat blower:
Sole + Midsole detached. Open Gap was left on the rest of the actual shoe. It has to be glued back together:
Burned the rubber-like material:
It was very dirty:
Some Markings on the Mid Sole:
Hey Iook, Its the new Jordan Sock:
Will you cop these New Space Jam Jordan Xi Slippers, are they a Cop or Drop release? Leave feed back.
Decided to tape the yellowed Mid sole in hopes of Painting it white:
The taping on this side did not have to be perfect:
Final Result, Side view:
View from the Back:
Brand new pics of the Space Jam XI slippers. Cop or Drop? Leave feed back:
This Is how far I have gotten, Its kinda late so I will start back up tomorrow. I still need to buy Barge cement since Some asian guy online recommended It to me:
Will Hopefully post more photos tomorrow. Please leave comments, thoughts, and feed back
- Thanks,
