- What's up guys?
Tom here from the Football Boots team
and today we are finishing up our customs,
turning Nike boots into Adidas boots.
We need to finish off our Nemeziz
and we need to finish off our X, so let's get into it.
Before we get into the fun stuff of
testing the boots out on the pitch,
we first have to finish making them.
Now we've already started on those boots
and if you haven't seen that video
of turning Nike boots into Adidas boots
make sure you go check that out on the channel now.
The guys in the office wanted me to turn
CR7s Chapter 5s into the Nemeziz,
but I just couldn't bring myself to risk ruining
such a nice pair of boots,
without testing the concept first.
So for this reason I decided I would
test it on a fake boot instead,
and if I'm customising one fake boot why not do three.
Of course, I've already made the Purecontrol
so let's get into turning the
fake Superfly into the Nemeziz.
We start by turning a Nike Superfly into the Adidas Nemeziz.
First thing we got to do is get that orange base coat
spread onto the boot.
(upbeat music)
Next we apply some Angelus Finisher by using a cloth.
This is just to protect our base layer
that we've already painted onto the boot.
When we tape on and create patterns with the tape
we don't want to tear any of that base layer off.
(upbeat music)
The next step is to tape the boot.
Now with the Nemeziz there is a very intricate design
with lots of lines going across the boot,
so it's going to be very, very hard one to tape.
(upbeat music)
I start by taping the Nemeziz branding across the toe box
and the heel, as it is the largest areas
that we're going to keep orange.
(upbeat music)
Next I tape the stripes on the toe box and the heel,
remembering that any area that isn't covered with tape
is going to turn black.
With that all taped up, I now need to add
the Adidas three stripes onto the lateral side of the boot.
To do this I used a real Nemeziz that we have in the office
to create a template.
(upbeat music)
Once this template is created it is easy as just
peeling it off and sticking it on.
The boot is now pretty much taped up,
all that's left is the instep.
Now we're turning the Hypervenom into the X,
and the first thing we need is that black base.
(upbeat music)
With the black base all done
it is now time to try and get that speckled detail
pattern onto the upper.
So what we have is a mesh material
that we're going to tape around the boot
and we're going to hope it's going to create
as near that pattern as possible.
We're going to use a spray can for this part of the process
as the airbrush would just not put out enough paint
quickly enough for the desired effect.
Shaking that red spray paint well before we're spraying it,
it is time to cross our fingers and hope for the best.
(upbeat music)
With the instep all taped up
we're now ready to spray the black detail on.
(upbeat music)
When using the airbrush to spray this black detailing
on to the upper of the Superfly it is very, very difficult.
This is because the Superfly features a rib design
along the upper, which creates an uneven surface
for the tape to tape to.
This means that it is very important that you spray
with the right angle of the airbrush,
as any angle that could go under or through the tape
is going to cause a problem.
Here's how the patterns came out
and obviously it's not perfect,
but it still gives the effect we were going for.
With it all done it is time to add the last little branding
and logos onto the instep and the lateral side of the boot.
(upbeat music)
Once again, I use the real Adidas boot to create templates
of both the X branding and the Adidas logo.
(upbeat music)
Once these were made it was time to transfer them over
onto the boot.
Now this Adidas logo is once of the most
intricate templates I have ever made.
It was truly, truly difficult to both make it with tape
and then transfer it onto the boot itself.
(upbeat music)
But with it done it is time to spray it with the airbrush
once again and let's see how it came out.
(upbeat music)
So it's time to head over to the pitch
and test them on feet.
So guys here we are, we are at the pitch,
and we're getting in to the fun part of the video.
We're going to see how these boots look on feet,
how they feel, but most importantly,
how well the customizations wear
when they're put to the test on your feet in a play test.
(upbeat music)
With the black detailing all sprayed up
it is time to take the tape off.
Fingers crossed the paint didn't leak out.
(upbeat music)
And here's how the Nemeziz is now looking.
I think it's looking pretty sick.
I'm happy with how the detailing of the black came out.
Of course you can see that we didn't actually
touch on the Nemeziz branding
across the toe box or the heel.
This is because it was just too hard to do.
There was no way we could of taped it
and no way we could have drawn it on either,
so we decided to leave it blank,
as you can clearly see where the boot resembles
and it still looks good.
From a top down view,
all these designs look amazing on feet.
The good thing about wearing them on feet
is they're not close up to you,
so you can't see those minor imperfections
that you can when they're in your hands.
(upbeat music)
Personally, my favourite design has got to be
the Purecontrol.
Make sure to let us know, vote in the poll card now,
what is yours, Purecontrol, Nemeziz, or the X?
(upbeat music)
So how do the boots feel on feet?
Well, three boots are obviously fake boots,
as we didn't want to ruin the real ones,
and it's all going to cost someone, any boot,
really does not change the feel
or play ability of the boot at all.
One possible thing, maybe gives the upper
a little bit more stick, a little bit more grip,
but minor, minor, if anything at all.
(upbeat music)
So there it is.
We've down a little bit of a play test
with the boots on feet,
but now we're just going to have a look at
the general wear and tear and how they've stood up.
First of all we're going to be looking at
the Superfly that we've turned into the Nemeziz.
Now first problem you'll notice is the soul plate.
This was the only boot that we actually
sprayed the soul plate.
So these other two are the original soul plate,
but the paint just doesn't take to the soul plate.
It's the TPU, not sure, the paint just doesn't take to it,
so as you can see we've got all this white sort of specks,
where the paint has flaked off,
but on the whole, that is probably the only
bit of wear and tear on the Nemeziz
that doesn't look any good.
So let's move on to the Purecontrol.
So on the Purecontrol we're looking pretty standard.
A little bit of wear and tear on the upper,
where you've got lots of ball strikes
or touches have happened
and a little bit where the boot has creased on our foot,
but apart from that, it has held up very, very nice.
As you can on the clip,
the collar when it's stretched you can see
the original colour underneath the paint, which was white,
just because when I sprayed it the collar wasn't stretched
so it has a little bit of give
and then you can obviously see that colour,
but apart from that,
it is looking very good after a play test.
So moving on to the X and looking at it first glance
it is looking really, really good to be fair.
Now since we used spray paint to get that pattern
on the upper of the shoe, it has got a little bit
of a liability to crack,
just because that paint's a little bit thicker
than if we had used the airbrush,
but apart from that it's looking really good.
Once again with the collar when it's stretched
you can see the original colour underneath,
which is red, so it's actually worked out really well,
with the design of the boot,
but on the whole this one's probably stood up the best.
Now if we really, really wanted these boots to hold up
perfectly and not flake at all or get damaged at all,
A, we wouldn't play in them or B, we could have applied
another coat or two of that finisher onto them,
but we wanted to see what the wear and tear would be like
when they were played in.
So I've hoped you enjoyed seeing the three Nike boots
turn into the three Adidas boots,
but if you want to see us turn the real CR7 Mercurials
into the Nemeziz, make sure to let us know.
These were fake ones obviously,
so drop a comment down below if you want to see that happen.
(upbeat music)
Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.
