Being the OCD person I am I got time and reshaped a pair of reverse Banneds I painted. I have a few ‘85s and I love how the eyelets contour and hug the forefoot. The newer pairs flare out similar to modern AJ1s which is fine. Did some John Madden for context.

The Banneds look like they’re being chocked but in actuality, the lace repetition is consistent from top to bottom until it gets to the top 2 lace holes. Since steaming down the bottom and top eyelets, it allowed more lace length which allowed it to go to the top without chokin giving it an accurate 80s look.

Great job 🔥🔥🔥! Question? How do you get the edges to have that look? Just sand them?
