    That  means a lot to me, I have followed your customs for a long time.  Also the midsole is holding up as I stripped off the factory paint down to the foam using acetone.
    Thanks again!

    I just removed the tongue with an exacto blade then stitched it back with high gauge needles and upholstery thread. The paint is createx air brush paint.

    "Parody is the highest form of flattery...." I just saw someone did another grape custom, but painted the tongue instead. Felt pretty honored to have my work copied! Pretty decent job, I can't stop wearing mine lol!
