Sample Desert Clay Air Jordan 13 fully reglued. BAHAHAHA 🐐 by @flippin_kickz

See a lot of guys skip this step, or even worse, go straight into this without skiving off the old glue first. This does more than just make the leather look even, it helps with the strength of your bond and the penetration of your glue. Lots of little steps to have a perfect glue job. by @flippin_kickz

The world stops when this performance comes on.

Whatever these are called, bring these back out. 2005 Jordan 14. Suede upper and a velour sock liner, while sporting the black and silver appearance. Take my money by @flippin_kickz

How and why I bond shoes the way I do (and why you should too) for the perfect alignment. by @flippin_kickz

Beautiful pair of Promo Jordan Spizikes swapped up and ready to rock by @flippin_kickz

Air Yeezy 1 swapped with the new donors from @lvlsply
Finally a solution. Correct silhouette & dimensions. Not a Jordan 3 like others have tried. These were a perfect fit to this Yeezy 1. I have no idea when they’ll be available or what they’ll cost. I’m just the guinea pig testing them.
Only downside: a lot of prep is required to get these to bond and hold properly. You have to eat into the top layer of both materials enough so that the glue can bite and/or penetrate to be able to hold. Bonding these is not going to be for your average DIYer. You should hire a pro or someone with significant experience in regluing to ensure these are bonded properly.
I have a long format detailed video on my Patreon going over and explaining the ins & outs of what it took to bond these up correctly. by @flippin_kickz

MOLD on your 1985s? Have no fear! Flippin Kickz is here…. by @flippin_kickz

Make your jams pop with a little shine. Doesn’t take much, but makes a world of difference. R2 approved by @flippin_kickz

Matching air unit colors during a midsole swap job:
If you can, match the color. Just buy a donor with the correct color. If you can’t or color isn’t readily available in donors, discuss with your client if they’re ok with having a different color air unit. Don’t just make the executive decision without consulting your client, especially on rare & expensive pairs.
I see it all the time with a popular swap job: the laser 4s. The red air unit for the white pair is usually just replaced with a white air unit. Not the way it should be. And often the client is never consulted. Do the right thing and match the air unit (if possible) by @flippin_kickz
