Need more information.
30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Special ZX8000 pack to celebrate it. Don’t know too many of the design details yet, but looks fantastic. I’m guessing from the box that it’s a west and east side design and as the wall ‘falls’ you see the shoes inside???roystinho said:

If it's going to be done as a true split between west and east then the 'west' half should contain some brand-spanking ZX8000s and the 'east' half should have a mismatched pair of heavily used Golas.roystinho said:

zx8000 aqua for me, the wall zx are out of my price range! What I really want is the upcoming Malmo
Someone was talking about quality of Nike a week or two ago, these are shocking;
Open end threads, cinched in on the toe caps at 3 stitching area, when you fold over the leather at the eyelet area it comes away from the backing board
Anyway, saw them on sale @ footlocker for £80 and was wanting to do another 'bomber' shoe to match my friends J5's so thought id give them a go. I like the silhouette of the Mars and the design features and helped with what i had planned.
Wont be for everyone but i dont care :-D
Wont bore you with the build process as i imagine its quite obvious...
Unfortunately, on my first trip wearing them, the silver on the black rubber started to crack and peel away. I thought i prepped it properly and undertook the necessary prep steps but alas it doesnt seem i did. So removing the stuck that didnt stick was easy but the stuck that adhered as it should have done = complete pain in the arse.
Unfortunately, during the process, Im Easy lady started to peel away and before i knew it, only the apples survived. Rather than pay another £10 for a graphic, i decided to buy some paint pens and make a stencil and come out with Red Hot;
Its my first time in a long time doing stencils, free hand sketching and then painting (more used to ink/paper or CAD), so quite a few issues/things id do differently next time. Little Patches probably wont last long as some is starting to unstick, i could seal it down but want it to come away as well to do 'her' cartoon style. Also had to add some 'teeth' otherwise it wouldnt be mine.
I should have started with the all-white ones as well and done the blue window as orange with a white netting but never mind.
Also, might have picked up a custom job though its a simple repaint of some Jordan 7(?) Olympics but we see
