    Hello guys.
    To all who are interested in customizing soleplates, I will modify the soleplates of two boots that I've received recently.
    One of them is the Predator Rapier, which had crumbled sole.
    The other is the Nike Air GX 1, which has a SG soleplate.
    The Rapier will receive a FG outsole, and the GX will receive a TF outsole.
    On both occasions, I'll broadcast live at Periscope, the entire soleplate exchange process. After, the videos will be also on my YouTube Channel.
    If you want to follow the live broadcast and participate, I suggest you follow the profiles of the Blog Só Chuteiras on Periscope and Twitter.
    If want to see the whole process in an edited video, can subscrbe the channel on YouTube.
    The links are below:
    http://www.periscope.tv/sochuteiras
    http://www.twitter.com/sochuteiras
    http://www.youtube.com/sochuteiras

    I hope I can help them and take any questions that could possibly have.

    PS: the questions in english on Periscope will be answered with a very bad english ... lol

    I sold my R9s because I didn't want to wear them and wasn't a fan of just keeping them for the sake of it.. but I loved the design so made my own (not perfect but I like them. wasn't a fan of spending 230 on the superflys)

    Hello guys.
    I spoke before about transmitting soleplate exchanges of the Adidas Predator Rapier and Nike Air GX 1.
    I made the transmission of the Predator Rapier, but the result was not good as expected.
    Thus, I will publish here the before/after of the model, so you can see how the boot was, and how it is after customizing...

    Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (16).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (14).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (15).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (3) (1024x1004).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (5) (1024x966).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (8) (850x1024).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (10) (1024x791).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (11) (924x1024).jpg Adidas Predator Rapier 1 (13) (805x1024).jpg

    And YES!... I'll wear it next saturday! :thumbsup:

    I'm sorry this is BRILLIANT! - How long did it take you? & do you ever plan on wear them? I think you need to give the other colours a crack now! :D

    Honeycomb Nikeskin is a great canvas for customizing. I have customized tattoo patterns on my pair, but then decided to white them out.

    of course. I just started to wear them last weekend. to be honest, they're easier to get scuffs mark from artificial grass so it takes more effort to clean them.

    Anyone in the states offering sole conversions? Like adding studs? I'm capable of doing it but I'm "overseas" right now and I'll be on leave in the states next month for only a couple of weeks

    i know people have done it before, so just a quick shoutout here.

    for a totti style tongue, do you guys use an elastic shoelace as that string, or what do you guys use for it? Planning to make my Morelia old school just for kicks.
