Air Jordan VI "Lakers" Custom (Black Stitching)

[originaljs]

Hello Niketalk,

Usually I never buy Retro+ Air Jordans, but I am a fan of Black/Charcoal Jordans. (Shadow X's, Charcoal IX's, Bordeaux VII, etc)

I was disappointed with the lack of creativity with JB, so I took their trash and made it into my treasure.

This shoe (Laker colorway) had many potentials to become a great shoe. I like purple on a shoe, but this is what they gave us.

I call it the Shadow VI's. It is plain, but so were the Shadow X's and IX's.  

I had nothing to lose, purchasing these for $95 because of my discount. What do you think?

I think they look better but had this version released it would look too dull.

Wow these Look Great. Jordan Brand needs to understand... Simplicity is the best when it comes to colorways

Soo much better than that fruity contrast stitching. Good job

 

[gentry187]

i was planning on copping and doing the same to mine. i hate contrast stitching. you just sold me on them!

Amazing how changing the small details makes all the difference. Looks good!

Op, were you able to do the Air stitching on the back?

 

[i3rianf]

Like them better then lakers colorway stitching . Nice stuff

 

[fc3scorey]

I may have to pick up a pair of these and do the same. Had the idea in my head but never saw the real result.

Very cool.

 

[kiddiaho]

wow they look much better

 

[dcortes23]

but how did you make the stitching black?

 

[bruggs58]

how did you do it? sharpie?

 

[executive76]

Nice work.

you should make the white part on the sole dark gray

 

[chief ediri]

Hope you colored the AIR on the back.

 

[imazing1201]

some should repaint the stitching like the OP then paint the midsole purple and gold.

 

[icqboy51]

they look better with black stitching.

but the Lakers should never have been called the Lakers as there is not enough purple/ yellow

 

[loskickking23]

I would cop IF they came out like this

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Goo job.
What did you use a sharpie?
