Excellent work, if all NTers were bunched in one city you would be able to make a living restoring everyone's kicks.  Keep up the work, and don't worry about the haters.  I figured someone was gonna hate and not believe him.

thanks bro and yes there the same Vs lol see all u need is time and the right stuff to get this kind of job done there is so many thing out there to restore your shoes for example most of the creases i got out with a small iron...grab a thin face towal spray some water on it and iron softly but make sure u stuff the shoe from the toebox to lift a little and slowly the creases come out just like a shirt and to bring back the white leather i used a leather cleaner/whitener......for all the dirt i first used hot hot water to take most of the dirt and mud chunks off after i got most of it out i just used a thooth brush but give me a couple of hours and ill make a tutorial with pics of matirial i used.....

very very nice work man done with precision cant even tell < is that anguelus leather paint
 
Major props, yeah u need to put up that tutorial. My 3's r definitely gonna b my 1st project then my aquas.
 
I purchased some black/white IX's back in 2002 and made them fire red Nines.


The only pix i have are of how they look now... not during the initial project phases.


I'll do it again because i know exactly the kind of diligence, patience and paint application workmanship necessary
to transition a shoe from one colorway into an entirely new shoe with a brand new identity.


Pix of beat fire red IX's coming soon...
