hi guys Ian from the Football Boots team
and today we're going to do something
completely different
I'm gonna take a pair of Nike Mercurial
Superfly and I'm gonna take a pair of
Nike Flyknit Vapor Max and the concept
here is I'm going to try and take off
this vapor Max Air sole, take the
whole thing off and I'm gonna try and
attach it to a pair of Superfly
making what you could call a Nike
Mercurial Superfly Vapor Max. So
it's interesting we see how we're gonna
go now we are going to have some boots
in the making of this video these are
the ones that you may have seen Blake
clean recently and I have something else
in store for the other one in this pair
and after you see that video you're
gonna know that this video is tame
anyway so what we're going to do is I'm
going to take this sole off of these and
I'm going to attach it to these the
first thing I have to try and do is take
off the soleplate on the Superfly I'm
hoping that's going to be easy I've seen
a few people saying that they've had
pairs where these have come off so I'm
gonna get the gun out and I'm gonna heat
them up and I'm gonna try and peel it
off
maybe we'll get the chisel out and we'll
try and might blow it off and yeah we're
gonna try to put on this so I think with
this I've seen a few people do like sole
conversions and fix up on trainers so I
think we're gonna probably cut off this
and go from there I don't really want to
pop this I will point out that these are
a fake pair of Vapor Max's we just
decided to try this concept and we
didn't want to ruin a real pair of Vapor
Max so we're gonna go here to do our
thing and if it does work then maybe we
can make some real ones in the future
and these of course are real Superfly I
haven't seen any fakes floating around
yet once we go hands-on someplace we'll
make sure to do that fake versus real
video letting you know about the
differences between the fake and the
real Superfly but for now we're gonna
have to use a real pair of sixes as
that is all available anyway guys let's get
into it let's start chopping these boots
up I'm making this hybrid let us know in
the comments below if you've got any
suggestions on any other custom that you
want to see. Let's get right into it now
right first things first we'll leave the
superfly
and let's try and get the bottom
off this
so I'm going to go in with the trusty
Stanley knife and we'll go pretty
close and just see what happens so far
it's going in pretty easy we're through
it's not much - it's very good so this
is like super thin it's like way easier
than I was expecting nothing like when
I've taken apart a fake football boot or a
genuine football boot
[Music]
now I'm just thinking in my box over
here I actually have a few other old
bits of boots all right so this is a
fake pair of Hypervenom what do we think
of those little bit small
all right so here we go we might to get
that off quite nicely
I might just go through and tidy it up a
little bit all right for the sand paper
[Music]
all right get an idea of what it might
look like soon time to take the soleplate off
these Superfly and then it's gonna
sit on there quite nicely hopefully so
this where it gets a little bit
interesting because I really feel like
I'm gonna have to put a bit of this heat
on here to get this bit of the soleplate
I have seen people who
said before their bit started
coming off here and so I'm hoping I can
get underneath that and then just prise
the whole thing off like I'll get this
chisel and I can just get that
underneath and get it off heat and
Nikeskin is not a good combination
you know like well I'm really feeling
that we should do some boiling water and
soak the boots in the boiling water.
Alright a kettle is boiled we've got some
really hot water I'm gonna move these
boxes out the way and bring in a baking pan
and yeah the idea is to pour this boiling
water in here good to go
[Music]
[Applause]
okay that whole thing is actually
melting then
see that there, but is actually melting
it's considerably hotter than I wanted
to get it
but even that is potentially not enough
to get the glue I don't know
[Music]
Alright here we go let's have a crack at
trying to get this bit of soleplate off
at the rear
[Music]
all right so it is all we are looking like
this I suppose if you really wanted to
might be interesting to try that out
they just look really comfortable though
this look like a slipper I could wear
them around the house what we're going
to do now is we're going to try and
attach them to here but I think what the
first thing I'll probably do is just
tidy up a little bit get the sandpaper
out again on some of these areas here so
when I use the glue it's going to be
able to bond a bit better trim off some
of the excess, all right so this is the
first time we are gonna see what this
looks like putting it on I like the look
at that just cut it get it glued on
that's our next challenge cool right so
what we're gonna do now is we're gonna
get some glue, across the
bottom and walk it across it now I'm
just gonna use some basic standard super
glue thing as this is just a proof of
concept if I was doing it properly then
we'd use loads and loads and loads of
glue to make sure it really really stuck
well but for now this is just proof of
concept I am only going to use some
super glue and so all the points where I
want it to attach I'm gonna apply the
super glue
[Music]
all right we need a bit more glue and we
need to tidy out these edges right the
next thing we're going to use is this
I'm going to use it to pipe some of this
stuff just fill a few gaps that I've got
so first things first I'm going to get
into it Oh
[Music]
all right less is more I think I'm going
to settle for that all right it's time
to see the final product see what they
look like on feet
you guys got suggestions of other
custums you'd like to see us them...
Make sure you check those out on the
channel here they are
