Some stupid sneaker thread got me stuck in a rabbit hole of designing my own shoes. Well, they arrived.



The natural gum surrounds are tricky.



One of the Superfeet black insert installed...really the only reason these shoes are wearable.



Yup, a million combinations and that’s what I selected.

You can design your own pair of Nikes.

Yea, some friends got them with LSU stenciled on the side, of obviously p&g shoes, before they cracked down on copyright infringements. I don’t think they could pick as many things as with the converse, but they were much better shoes.

I wish they would re-release the flyknit chucks again. They're way more comfortable than the originals. I wore them into the ground and now they're my law mowing shoes.

Man, someone like you....I would think would lace them the same but exact opposite of each other. You laced them the exact same on both shoes... bottom picture with the right side of each shoe in an over then under, over then under pattern.

I'm good with normal chucks, I'm a hi-top guy though. Somebody mentioned normal chucks aren't comfortable but I have put the insoles from some running shoes into my chucks and it really makes them much better.

I know, it was before work and I didn’t even try for a pattern. Once I got them on I saw they are jacked up. I’ll fix. IDK if I want to make them right, or just symmetrical.

I have to fix it now...

I was too, but I was interested in the natural gum sole surrounds. I’ve only worn black before so this is a bit strange.

I have my first pair I bought in 1985, white and still in good condition. I buy black now but have a sweet pair of purple ones too.

Made them symmetrical to the right shoe so I didn’t have to redo them both.
