Here is what we are working with. Old Dikembe Mutombos

https://imgur.com/a/qKV33IV

Have not done one of these in years and I am so exhausted from job hunting and submitting applications I need a distraction. Not going to be getting into detail about my plan for these. Just gonna do it and post the results step by step. They have been sitting in my closet for over a year and never did anything with them so I dont really care if they look shit lol.

Anyway. Gonna start the prep process now

Hey, Okami, off topic-ish...

But if I order an Adidas item in Bluebird I can be assured it's the same color as the classics shoe box, correct? In other words, that is their official name for that color?!?

I dont trust when they say it is the same color. Get the closest thing, then get white and black and mix until you get exactly what you need.

LOL, I'm not looking to make an item, just wonder what official colors were called.
Just thinking about getting a comfort item at some point, a top. I also like that green they use sometimes.

What is the difference between Spezial and Sambas?
Is it just the Sole?

Spezial I believe is a casual shoe, or it may have been a handball shoe at one time maybe. The Samba is a soccer shoe.

Anyway. Sneaker is prepped. Time to get to work. Also would love to see you guys other works too!

Hey @SF_Okami since you created a thread I can ask - what's the difference between mens and womens shoe sizing for Gucci Ace sneakers?

I couldn't help but notice the other day that womens sneakers of what looks like an identical design is significantly cheaper than mens on a site like Net a Porter. The womens version was around $680 AUD whereas the mens version on Mr Porter was $730, and then Net a Porter has heaps of promotions even for Australians so it came out to be about $500 vs $730... so a significant difference!

I dont know how Gucci does it since I believe they go by Italian sizing, however usually take your mens US size, add 1.5 to it, and you have your woman's size. (Size 9 mens is a size 10.5 womens). From there you can just translate that to Italian sizing if that is what Gucci uses for that shoe. Womans sizing is usually a bit narrower just so you know.

Hmm I have wideish feet so better stick to the men's sneakers. Just surprised me when I stumbled upon this and realised how much cheaper they were for women!

Same for me but if I like the shoe enough, I will put up with the discomfort lol.

Thinking about switching up some of the detailing. May go with some red accenting rather than orange and a lighter orange.

The design on the shoe is not there yet tho so right now it looks very orange but it wont when its done :)
