  • so i bought some probably fake Af1's online from China with the purpose of trying out some hydro dipping. 

    trying to take my mind off the funeral tomorrow so i've spent two hours this morning taping them up in the right places and just did a black and red dip. First impressions aren't too bad, missed a few spots (very small) which i've then sprayed. 

    They're drying, which will take ages in the cold/wet, but looking forward to taking the tape off and seeing how crisp I managed to get them. 

    If I get it right i'll pick up some legit ones and give it another go. Anyone here a size 10?

  • I am a size 10, am I to understand you are offering up these fugazi forces? Because I will take them off your hands if no once else wants them and will wear them to all future stocks.

  • I’m gonna see how they look. The good thing about hydro dipping is that you can in theory do it as many times as you like on the same pair.

  • How was the process? My kids keeps asking to try it and if it's not that involved if like to have a go.
  • Easy,

    Took laces and soles out
    Bought acetone and cleaned them
    Tape up the sections of the shoe you don’t want coloured. This is the time consuming part. Use a paper knife to do the intricate bits.
    Filled plastic box with warmish water
    Sprayed two colours of Montana good acrylic paint into the box keep spraying to get an effect
    Hold the shoe face down by the sole and dip into the water. Wiggle to clear the rest of the paint on the water away. Pull out shoe and leave to dry. If there are bits not covered then repeat the process of spraying and dipping.
    Once dry spray with primer you get a for £10 in jd sports.

    I really like the effect, reminds me of the fire camo from MGS3. Looks quite heavy, wonder if using cheaper paint might have stopped that, might just be how it looks in pictures though

  • That's a really cool effect! Especially up the side of the left shoe, the striping looks really awesome there.

    Goes really well against the white bits.

    Top work DS!

    haha, was thinking Gnoz's looked like reebok zixers, then there's a pair of zixers in the exact same colourway. I like 750s

    They are nice, and are quite faithful to a lot of colourways I remember at the time, Grape then Volt for me, I forget the third, orange is it?? I'd love to see the ice blue and white ones I had but never seen them mentioned, maybe a store specific colourway dunno

  • I'm keeping my powder dry. Rumours abound of OG Infrared 90s doing the rounds, probably in time for Air Max Day 26th March.

    It’s a teal colour.

    I’m also hoping Nike do the right thing and release OG Infrareds.
