Making not one, but two customs for a music legend might be one of the coolest things Vick has done in his career. Now you guys have followed along with the weekly videos for years and may have even seen him make customs for the Phoenix Suns, Kid Cudi and more, but this guy is just getting started! Check out how Vick made custom shoes for Justin Timberlake himself.
Vick got a call from the Footprint Center in Phoenix and could not pass up the opportunity to customize these shoes. To start we ended up at our go to sneaker store in Tempe, AZ @TheCommonHype . We picked up a pair of Devin Bookers in a size 11; of course we had to go with the Books being in Phoenix and all. The other pair we picked up at Sneakercon Detroit a couple of weeks back.
With the best base shoes in hand it was time to get to the details. The first step was to remove the tongues to ship those out to our friend @JordonDiab. Next was replacing the white stitch with an orange, now this may seem like the most tedious step for a little bit of pop, but it was worth it. As always next steps are always prep. Vick takes his time prepping the shoes and can even spend 2-3 hours off camera getting everything ready.
For the golf shoe Vick used the Jordan 3 and quickly got to work by making a custom insole. Again small details matter. This insole was designed to make it look like. a putting green with a special Arizona golf logo to show some love to Vick's home town. The Devin Bookers of course were also getting a custom insole, but it was going to take a little bit more work. So Vick chose to focus on the Jordan 3's and turned them into golf cleats. Did you know Jordan 3's are easy to turn into Golf cleats?! You do now!
Vick flipped back and forth between the shoes throughout the entire process which was quite the task. Next step was to remove the 96 logo and go over it with an 81 to better represent Justin Timberlake.
The paint job is going to make all the difference on these sneakers, so Vick tapes up both shoes (which BTW took hours). After the prep was completed it was time to lay down a base coat on the Jordan 3 before creating a gradient look based on Justin Timberlake's album color and our hometown. With the shoe all painted it was time for the finishing touches on that one; which means screwing in the golf spikes. Now you know how to transform your favorite sneakers into a golf shoe!
The tongues came in and lined up perfectly on both pairs. Jordon did an incredible job embroidering these tongues and adding details. Now it was up to Vick to attach them perfectly... Luckily he did! Let's finish up the Bookers.. It was time to do a couple more details, but we are getting close to the end.
All in all Vick did an incredible job designing two customs for an absolute legend. Drop a comment and let us know which pair was your favorite.
