Nike Air Max 1 Supreme Animal Atmos 2006, Sole Swap.

Disclaimer: Donor Out-sole was supplied by owner (instagram) @sern_an, which is half a U.K size smaller, one european size smaller, but the same CM sizing.
Performed Sole Swap is the best possible outcome for incorrect sizing, great measures were taken to make the swap look as good as possible without affecting the structural integrity of the Trainer/ Sneaker.

FINISHED PRODUCT.




(Midsole and leather were lightly shaved to get toe-lips this close.)


(Heel overlap due to the sizing error.)

All in all I really enjoyed this job, a lot of problem solving going on, which I enjoy. I'm sure the sizing error would not have been too much of an issue if it had been any other release, it was all down to the horse hair leaving a defining line that could not be re-positioned.
