The only thing that gets me is the toe cap itself, i think the omitting of the stitching and air vents on the toe cap makes em look a bit weird IMHO. The craftsmanship is superb as always, i love the extra touches as the insole tags and the hang tag. Great job as always mang.

I think what you might be noticing is the overall shape of the toe cap itself.
Where SK8-HI's usually have a much flatter toe cap these came a lot rounder than I was expecting, though I feel the shape works well overall.
Thanks for the comments. |
I def noticed this part. I think you should have at least kept the signature 3 stitching lines at the top, but thats more of a personal thing. theyre still dope without it.

Sick! Love what you did with these, great execution of the intended look IMO. Nice touch with the double stitching too. I like the shaved look but you can still notice the indents of the stitching around the ankle.
Digging the nylon tongues here, I'm working with some ripstop nylon on a Sk8-Hi right now and after seeing these I can't wait to finish.

Thanks, I'm glad people are understanding the subtly of my work.
I choose to keep the inner liner of this shoe to account for some shaping issues I encountered after building it from scratch. 
The liner was ironed flat and bound to a new piece of canvas, but the weakness in the fabric combined with the cupped stitching where the mid panels meet in the rear caused the slight indentations. Also, I allowed for some slack in the nylon by pulling it in about 3/16th's when it was sewn on.
Nylon tongues are the shit, I'm looking forward to see what you've got planed.

i have a hard time commenting on these because I'm a nike head and when it comes to anything outside of the swoosh I have no idea....
but they're clean, they're simple. the inspiration is genius. mission accomplished.
they're just a personal pair for yourself right? if so (just out of curiosity) why go thru the bells and whistles of adding hang tags?

To be honest, I had left over prints and I'd probably never use them again.
But as they laid next to the shoe I figured they would allow for easier comparison in the photos along with a more "official" feel. Though, even when I make stuff for myself I do try and go that extra step.
Maybe I'm just crazy?

This is something I'd definitely buy.
Can you do the toe in any other kind of color? Like olive green/navy blue?
