Air Jordan XII Paint Chipping/Restoration ?

feeds@yuku.com (Redflamex55) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:43:55 GMT

Hey there everyone, I have a pair of Air Jordan XII Low Taxis and the sides where the black paint is, some of it has chipped off and left that unflattering white color on it.
Does anyone know what kind of paint I can use to make it look nice and black again like it used to ?

I'm only looking to repair the black ones, but if anyone has tips on the French Blue Colorway too, that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Blazers + Yeezys = "Bleezys"?

sure.

I wasnt gonna post these cause they probably wont be recieved well, but what the hell...I like 'em, and thats who I did them for.

2 things I would have done differently in hindsight would have been to

1. use the Spike Lee Blazers as a base. so that I could make that toe cap glow in the dark. I couldnt find them in my size though and wasnt patient enough to order them online.

2. to make the toe on these black and continue the gray strip on the...

The results from the survey data will help me in determining what characteristics of sustainability in footwear are most important...

Quick question, for some reason, every time I make my eraser circle bigger, bits and pieces start disappearing until the whole circle is gone. @%+?

Anyone know of a fix?. Thanks.

JBF - Refresh Reconstruction

feeds@yuku.com (JBF28) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:00:43 GMT

Been forever since I've posted a real custom, I know. College and such has prevented me from working. This is the first recon I have done since summer, and I am quite happy with the outcome. Named Refresh because to me they are a refreshing shoe. Clean layout and design, with premium, yet simple, materials.

Materials: Turquoise Pig Suede, Black Leather, 3M, Purple Stitching, Crushed Velvet Liner

C3PO Blazers

feeds@yuku.com (emmanuelabor) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:12:17 GMT

my 1st full Blazer reconstruction....could be better in a few spots, but overall, Im REALLY happy with these. I feel like Gollum the way I keep looking at the gold

based on C3PO from the Star Wars films....gold foil material with a suede liner. Real wires in the swooshes
had originally applied this theme to a pair of AM1's, but there were certain areas that looked too rough and unfinished, so I screapped that and applied it to blazers. MUCH more happy with these.

Another request from sneakerjunkie. I went with a regular standing version. I couldn't come up with a new and interesting pose to showcase the shoes so pardon the regularity. I thought about coloring as requested, but as with most of my work (sketch heavy) its tough to clean it up in illustrator or photoshop, it would take days lol. Anyways hope you guys like it.

wasnt gonna post these, but its been forever since I posted anything at all so:

Loosely based on the Michael Lau SB Dunks, these high top dunks feature a stunning dark woodgrain pattern. You need not worry about splinters from these waterproof beauties......"
