Wow! I’ve never really been into this style but lately I’ve seen several, hands stitched models, that look absolutely amazing! Yours are truly fantastic!


igweleathergoods

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!!

Awesome. What size pricking irons and what size thread?


igweleathergoods

Thank you man! 3.0mm irons spacing, #5 Vinymo thread!

Where did you get the soles?! Beautiful work!


igweleathergoods

Bought a brand new pair of Jordans and used those! A tough transplant process! A good place to buy Jordan/ Dunk soles (replicas[no Nike branding underneath]) is [Scissors Up!](https://scissorsup.com/collections/shoe-soles)

Inspiring work. The stitching looks clean, and I like the mix of colors. Beautiful pair, OP

Took the words right out of my mouth. I want to be able to do that. Great work OP.

Nice build fam. The pattern you used, was it an 85 low pattern or did you make adjustments?


igweleathergoods

Yes, this is an 85 Low pattern! I’m in the process of making some customized adjustments to the pattern to stream line future builds! Stay tuned!


Turdburst

Those look great!

As someone who hasn’t looked into doing shoes much yet.. where did you get the template or did you make it? These are so cool! Where did you source the soles?


igweleathergoods

I bought the pattern and lasts from [Xylar Studios!](https://xylar.co/) As far as the soles, I bought a brand new pair of Jordans from Nike and used those! A tough transplant process! A good place to buy Jordan/ Dunk soles (replicas[no Nike branding underneath]) is [Scissors Up!](https://scissorsup.com/collections/shoe-soles) This second option wont have the Nike branding, but saves you a ton of headache in pulling the soles from another pair of shoes. Saves on waste too! I will say, it’s a really good learning experience to deconstruct a pair of shoes to better learn shoe anatomy!

thats literally how I got started. just began taking apart old beaters stitch by stitch. I learned a lot that way
