Would you mind taking a side pic without flash? Thanks.
How close does the nubuck tar resemble nubuck on the the X Shadows that came in the CDP?

My pair came with a red stripe (looks like dye or a chemical from thepaint) right across the middle of the white mesh. i was ready to go nuclear on customer service right now but then i took some alcohol wipes and rubbed itout......thank god.....i really didn't wanna return these and completely miss out on the options. will post pics soon

Honestly i don't know what the deal is with them messing up the ID's....i think it's because they are being produced one of one and not an entireproduction quantity that HAS to be right. they just punch in the codes and let the factories slap em together and ship em out. no quality control oranything....whatever.....i got that red stain out so i am happy now...lil glue spot on the front but it's hardly noticeable. gonna wait to see whateveryone else's come out like before i do a second pair....anyone use laser blue glazed?
i'm liking how they came out with the marina mudguard....i did that just to get the lace holes that color..i was going to make the mudguard black but nowi'm debating whether i should or not....any opinions on that?

Great ID's. I designed the same thing, but was going to use a black fabric dye marker for the mudguard so i can have the same color for the plastic laceholders. Debating on getting this colorway or a barn colorway, which I'm hoping is a marroon colorway.

Well I would just go to Micheal's arts and crafts and look at their fabric markers. If you use angelus or any type of paint, it kind of gives it a leatherlook, or smooth finish. I don't like it though. Then if you use dye, you gotta be carefull because it might leak onto the mesh or to parts that u don'twant it to. The easiest way is a marker

btw just ordered the blue pair, the barn red will be next pay check

here's what I used in the past:
http://artist-tools.com/fabric-paints.shtml
I used this for doing the sock liner on past shoes and it was fine. it got on my socks though, but didn't leave the fabric "stiff"
O and and went with a white glaze pullup. I'll post the custom when they come hopefully in 2 weeks like everyone else. Or maybe someone can do a wuickphotoshop of his id with a white swoosh

yea i think markers are the best. i got that tip from the sneaker art sticky...i actually used a black sharpie on some AM Lights i am working on and it cameout fantastic. i don't wanna use a sharpie on these though because it's a different material, i'm not sure if it will have the same effect as itdid on the AM Lights, plus...i really like the soft feel these have. i'm gonna try and pick up one of those markers over the weekend....sit on these for aweek and see how i feel about turning that mudguard black. thanks a lot for the tips!
