How do you feel about Jordan 1 Mids in general? I mess with mids personally- Highs make me look like I'm 4'6''. Also, OG Chicago Highs are a lil out of budget anyway. But, as promised here are some links!

Got mine on a restock, tried for 5 minutes and couldn't get any then Nike added another batch 5 minutes later that I was able to buy.

@HypeCollector 3 жыл бұрын

Yoo, thanks for actually reminding me to just enjoy the work I did and not get too caught up in the details lol.. To answer your question they are OK on the comfort level. You can wear them all day if you wanted to, but it's no where near like an airmax 90. It's more comfy than a chuck taylor / vans, but less comfy than an air max. I think its fairly similar to an Air force 1 if you own one of those, the toe box area is just a little less stiff than an AF1. I picked up another pair on that same restock! hahaha. I now have 3 of them... Kinda stupid hahaha

@HypeCollector 3 жыл бұрын

I used a kitchen scale and zeroed it with the mixing thing on it lol. 6g of versatility, and 4g of fire red. I wore them out today, and without the studio lights the color looked like a perfect match. Idk if this will help you make a decision BUT, I bought a pair to keep on ice with the white heel. I really like the white heel cause it makes me think of The Retro AJKO Chicago... BUT I would have done the custom even without an extra pair. I can't be dropping no $800 on a pair of chicagos right now... But hey, thanks for commenting & the sub! Means a lot! Hopefully I'll get better as I figure out how to better present/speak/shoot.

@HypeCollector 3 жыл бұрын

Yoo great questions, - I apply pretty thin coats, and I use a heat gun to make sure they are dry before I apply another. This way it stays nice and smooth. I make sure to spread the paint out really well aswell. - yes! I used some 3m performance yellow masking tape amzn.to/2FugKxY I used it mainly because I have some from wrapping my car roof black lol. I found that its easier to cover an area and using your thumbnail and shoving the tape into the groves - I just painted right over the stitching- i just made sure that I wasn't pooling too much paint around that area, but since I was already doing very thin coats it wasn't an issue. let me know if you need me to clarify anything!

Have you experimented with using Angelus’ Scarlet Red? It looks like that combined with the fire red may be the perfect combo?

I haven't! I don't have any either... You should totally try to see haha.

Hype.CollectorYT about to start my custom as soon as it gets in, will report back.

@smbarn3 3 жыл бұрын

HypeCollector finished up my custom and it turned out great! I mixed 50% Angelus Red, 35% Angelus Scarlet Red, and 15% Varsity red. The match is very very close I can’t tell a difference, if you want to see pics let me know!

Cool. I grabbed both of the Chicago mids and both of the lows too for retail or under each. Not sure if I should Chicago custom one or two of them or not.

@HypeCollector 3 жыл бұрын

Such a tough call! but also good job on being able to cop for retail. I paid resell on both but just got a pair of the white heels this past restock... But if I had to choose I would definitely custom the White heels. Since the black toes are in a high wear area as, @Sean Crocket mentioned in a comment, they are more susceptible to cracking, but also the red outsole is more true! Let me know if you do decide to paint either!

@ws4835 3 жыл бұрын

Hype.CollectorYT I think I’ll paint the white heels. I actually really like the black toe as is. you mentioned that 65% Varsity red and 35% fire red paint is a good match. Would you say that’s still the case? I’ll also be adding some Duller.

@@ws4835 Yes! I totally think so. I would def paint some on a test strip and compare the colors and adjust just in case tho.

HypeCollector painted my white heels but I didn’t do a good enough job taping down the soles so there’s some pain bleeding onto the rubber. What would be a good way to clean that up? Like acetone or rubbing alcohol and a napkin?

@HypeCollector 3 жыл бұрын

@@ws4835 I would try to get it large amounts off with a cotton swab and acetone. I wouldn't get too close to the upper with it unless it is cured and masked off. However, If it is just little splotchy spots on the rubber (just like little hits)I would be using an xacto knife and trying to gently scrape the paint off Or even a good toothpick. Just don't go digging INTO the rubber. just gently scrapping with a blade.

Will the paint rub off if it rains? I would be afraid to get them wet if that's the case.

Nope! Nike paints their shoes with leather paints just like the ones I used here, but at a mass production scale.

How long does the paint last?

@HypeCollector 3 жыл бұрын

Great question! If applied well I think it will last as long as any regular pair of factory painted Jordans. It is on a pretty low wear area so I doubt it will crack or anything.
