You lost the translucency, but you gave the shoe, in my opinion, much needed contrast.

Clean
Been wanting to do the same with some pairs. Which method did you do? Watched a few vids about it, not sure which is the best one

I just prepped the midsoles with acetone, used a adhesive promoter, and some vanilla paint from angelus did like a good 10 coats of paint under a grey base layer. I wore them Saturday and thank god there was no cracking or scuffs. I do plan on getting a dye pen from fox on Instagram to fill in the cracks of the midsole to give it a more aged and defined lookClean

It looks like a taped up midsole to me.

****'s are fire.. Virgil should've REALLY thought about that one. I think it would've made them a serious contender if they dropped like that. It balances the whole shoe out and highlights the features.

Look less of a bowling shoe but still a pass

I would love to have a pair of 5s but I’m too worried about durability of the shoe. It looks too fragile to pay the asking price.

5s will hold up. Unless u got some razor sharp hooves or hoopin in them u should be fine.

Be like Frank and buy multiple pairs. Then you don't have to worry about it.

The 5’s will hold up but the foam around the ankle and tongue will get damaged from every day wear.

I don’t think most people would use these as every day sneakers. If I’m paying 800-1000 dollars they should hold up that they could be.
Once that first piece of foam came off the collar or tongue I would be sick.
The black/muslins look so nice though.

I mean if the ankle and the tongue is getting damaged, is that really "holding up"?

That is definitely not my definition of holding up. I can’t imagine paying premium for these…honestly not even retail if they are literally falling apart.

Lace them loose and it won’t be much of a problem. Most of the time, it’s tied a bit tight and they will tug at the exposed foam material putting them on.
