Cheap Thrills.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
What up famaglia?
It is I, Nathaniel, AKA your boy Nate, AKA Tabasko Sweet.
And you're watching Cheap Thrills.
You already know what it is.
Now, today's a special day for the Cheap Thrills fan cuz I'm about to show you
how to DIY something so fresh, it's not even out yet, family.
I'm talking about Gucci's latest collab, legendary gaming console, Sega.
Now, Sega seems like a pretty wild choice for a sneaker collab, but
they actually put out their very own Sonic shoes back in '91.
Very hard.
And TBH, I love both these bands on their own, but
I'm not sure if I ship this mashup.
Who's the most unhinged new couple of 2018, Gucci and Sega or Elon Musk and
Grimes?
Let your boy know in the comments.
Now one thing's for sure, Gucci is 100% back on their
bull [BLEEP] with more expensive-ass freaks-only footwear.
Move over, Triple S,
there's a new heavyweight champ in the chunky sneaker game.
By the way, I believe the correct term is Double C thick.
Now, your boy's a pacifist, but don't be calling me or
my kicks chunky, or it's fade on site, family.
Anyway, these shoes are extra as [BLEEP].
Now, the body of the shoe is kind of like a modded out hiking boot with
a rubber platform sole.
Then we've got these criss-crossing rubber straps covered with jewels and [BLEEP].
Now that's maximizing, family.
We got a sneak-peek at these bad boys at Gucci's fall-winter showcase back in
February.
Now there was all kinds of crazy [BLEEP] at that show.
I'm talking severed heads, mini dragons.
You've got to be fully on your bull [BLEEP] to stand out in that environment.
And I think these shoes definitely got the job done.
Now, it's said that these things will be retailing at over $1,400.
Damn, with that kind of money I can buy 35 Sega Genesis consoles,
or 1400 dp;;ar menu items at T Bell.
Damn family,
just think of all the Baja Blasts I could buy with that kind of money.
Now I don't know about you all, but I'm trying to save my runes, so
here's what you're gonna need.
A generic black hiking boot, green rubber dad shoes,
purple gems, a black leather purse strip, gold and
silver paint, yellow and black paint pens,
acrylic paint in green and gray, black crafting leather.
And we're gonna use a blade to cut off the existing sole on your hiking boot.
That way we can come in with our custom rubber platform sole.
Get that lift, family.
[MUSIC]
Now as you can imagine, this part takes hella long.
But have no fear, family.
Your boy clocked in some mad weekend warrior hours.
Now, if you're trying to go speed mode, a circular grinder works great.
But don't use that [BLEEP] inside,family.
It smells like NASCAR.
Straight burning rubber.
Next step, we're gonna paint this lace bracket silver.
So get those laces out, family.
[MUSIC]
Your boy's all about max authenticity, no detail's too small.
Gucci gives you silver sprockets, you paint silver sprockets.
[MUSIC]
Now, while we set these aside to dry,
we can get cracking on our rubber dad sandals.
Now you mostly just wanna cut out this top part on your sandal so
we have a place to insert our hiking boot.
As always, safety first, family, make sure you cut away from yourself.
[MUSIC]
Now that the roof is looking like a no show on these things,
it's time to cut them in half, right at this point.
[MUSIC]
Tight.
Now that this is split in half, it's time to attach our hiking boot to the base.
Make sure your boot fits securely to the base, and then call in the guns, family.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
You're gonna need a lot of glue for this one, so
make sure you stay strapped with some extendo clips.
[MUSIC]
Now to fill in the gap on our sole, we're gonna cut a strip from the top piece.
[MUSIC]
Just line it up and cut it to size, family.
[MUSIC]
Damn, these things got some weight to them now.
Looking expensive as [BLEEP], family.
Now that our sprockets are technically dry, it's time to relace.
Now on the real ones, there's accents of green and grey on the front and
the side of the shoe.
So we're gonna come in with our acrylic paint.
I'm gonna do all the green parts first, then let it dry and move on to our grey.
[MUSIC]
Now that I've got all my green done, time to come in with my gray.
If you mess anything up, don't worry.
We can cover it up later.
[MUSIC]
While my shoes are drying,
I'm gonna draw on my Gucci logo from the Sega font on our leather tongue.
[MUSIC]
Damn, family.
It's Gucci.
Very clean.
Now we're just gonna cut this down to size so we can attach it to our tongue.
[MUSIC]
Now it's time to attach our tongue, family.
[MUSIC]
Fuego alert, damn family, these things are almost ready to get strapped.
Now that all our paint's dry, I'm gonna come in with my black paint marker and
clean up my edges.
[MUSIC]
All right, family, now it's time to get strapped.
First, I'm gonna cut these clips off.
[MUSIC]
All right, now that our strap's ready, we're gonna measure up the width of
the shoe, starting from the middle gap to the other one.
[MUSIC]
You wanna glue one side down at a time and let it dry before hitting the next one.
[MUSIC]
Now the next strap wraps around the back and criss crosses upfront.
[MUSIC]
Now that we're strapped, it's time to get stoned, family.
Now in the real ones, the pattern alternates between rectangle and oval.
[MUSIC]
Damn, once I got these things on, I'll be on my Thanos [BLEEP].
I'll be looking like I'm ready to end five Marvel franchises in one go.
Let's be real though, family, Thanos straigtht dusted those lames.
[SOUND] All right, this is the last step, family, stick with me.
It will all be worth it in the end when you're walking around looking like
a mythological bad [BLEEP].
It's time to come in with our gold puffy paint and trace around the stones.
[MUSIC]
Now don't squeeze too hard, family.
Precision's key.
[MUSIC]
And before you try and flex these, let that puffy paint dry overnight.
Good things take time, family.
And there you have it family, some $1,400 freak sneaks from Gucci and Sega.
Now these things don't even have a name yet.
But I'm thinking about calling them Thanos Airs.
What do you think they should be called?
Let your boy know in the comments.
As always, if you have anymore suggestions on DIYs, bang your boy's line.
Till next time, stay boosted, family.
Gang, gang.
