FAXXXXXXXX

[@lvtothesocks2304]

U basically made a whole different shoe

[@juanreyesjr580]

I’m feeling them! I normally wouldn’t go for something so loud but the colors being black and white worked for me. Liked a lot, well done

[@gisselleschroepfer4468]

OMG! THEY LOOK SO GOOOOD!!!!!! Honestly I didn't expect less from you, it's amazing to see your channel grow because you deserve it. I hope you have a nice week!! :D

[@foreignfoamer3592]

I have never. Before this video. Seen good looking black AF1's. You did some real nice work on these.

[@nadyamra]

Oh my I appreciate the bravery you have to diy a fresh out of the box shoes on top of that nike air force 1s 😱 but it turns out dope as usual, now I want one for myself 😂👍🙌 #legit

[@dapperalien]

you know me i only work with fresh ingredients 😂 no seriously thank you so much 💞😊

[@jonnnn4895]

dapper alien do you sell them I would like a pair?!!

[@dapperalien]

jonathan lopez wouldn't really want to sell these sorry 😅

[@rajifonte6703]

Wow amazing. I love that lil stitch tool. And i love that buckle thing too. Very creative . Just wish they were high top. 💪👍💣💥♥️🔥🔥🔥✔💯💯

[@abdullayewouadjou2755]

This is one of the dopest customs I've ever seen

[@dapperalien]

thanks dude :)

[@DV91]

Wow! They look good. I like the strap but not the buckle in my opinion. But overall awesome. Thanks for sharing! Might try it myself

[@im_Polyhedrons]

the strap and laces look were a nice touch!

[@l0v3bug]

these are SO SICK. kudos to you for being brave enough to do this to some brand new trainers, but the result is priceless. i get inspired by everything you do

[@dapperalien]

man, thank you so much :)

[@cmilliones]

I’d buy this pair over the OFF-WHITE version any day!

[@dapperalien]

thank you :))

[@duke_custom4455]

Looks pretty amazing!!! Surely deserves more views!

[@dapperalien]

thank you so much :)

[@tal9775]

Absolutely love the way you've laced the shoes up! Great work!

[@dapperalien]

thank you :)

[@dr3.of.4]

A white paint spill effect over the toe would be doooooope! Nice custom!

[@xathomir]

I am about... what is it? One year late? But I still love these custom AF1s so darn much. I am really thinking about trying this custom out for myself. This won't be my first custom, but I am still very beginner, so I can only hope to pull these off as clean as you did! You also just gained a new subscriber! I love your content.

[@SMDH.2204]

Dude. You are a bloody cobbler. These are serious skills man. DOPE

[@dapperalien]

haha cheers dude :D

[@MrCorgasm01]

They are sick dude! Congrats on the custom!

[@dapperalien]

cheers dude :)

[@javierblanco6046]

Swoosh is dope but the buckles ewwww

[@dapperalien]

thank you. i know the buckle isn't for everyone :D

[@trilllee6273]

wtf the buckles fire

[@soundgods9875]

i feel the same.. im not a fan of the buckles

[@bigcountry7096]

@@dapperalien the buckles were fire but some higher quality buckles would have went crazy

[@yaelll_]

Thats what i said🤦‍♂️ smh

[@makasoft3423]

THESE ARE SO SICK!!! I'm gonna try this with a pair of Vans Old Skools. Awesome diy 🔥🔥

[@dapperalien]

thank you 😊 awesome, can i see the result? 😁

[@reileywalker8580]

:Pulls air forces out box :af1 Aw shit here we go again

[@dapperalien]

hey you little dappers, sorry i'm a littlle bit late this week. but this weeks video might be one of my favourite diys i've made in a long time :D definitely try it yourself and make some custom air force ones! :)

[@jasonbowen5191]

dapper alien how you will charge me for the same black air ones like this.

[@jayhan1819]

Hey dapper would you mind if I custom my air force 1 with the same design you made?

[@anthonyrabathaly5561]

what glue did you use?

[@doncarrera601]

You killed these bro....super dope work

[@dapperalien]

thanks man :)

[@lvkaas3969]

I love how the af1 has the white stripes, the white shoe laces also make it look cool. Could you do more air force 1 customs? P.S i just subscribed and ive been enjoying the previous videos and ily

[@dapperalien]

thank you :) i'll see what i can do. i'm defo up for some more custom shoe diys in the future ;)

[@Fuxkyou1188]

dapper alien Would you be able to do this for me and ill pay extra for them 🤔😍

[@ankine9084]

this is dope!! I came upon your vid cuz im looking for shoe inspiration since im planning on painting my vans and i wanted to know if its really that big of a deal if i just use regular acrylic paint?

[@lerayanvert]

Holy...You went to another level bruh this is better than the off whites!!!

[@dapperalien]

cheers man :)

[@khairpur1]

Man it's fire! Tbh looks like a new techwear Nike shoe

[@notalexbaker4959]

honestly these are super clean, (but I would definitely remove the buckle, thats prolly just me tho). Im working on a similar project myself and this was very helpful so ty, solid video!

[@dapperalien]

thanks man :) glad this video helped you out. would love to see your results :)

[@littlejohnny2000]

pursue this man. you can literally be Virgil, but even better!

[@victoriabryan9121]

well fucking done man, you better then half these designers lmfao fr

[@dapperalien]

thank you :)

[@jmyaahh799]

Them came out fire dude🤟🏽🔥

[@jamescop7636]

BEST COSTUM EVER SEEN 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 Too cool !!

[@WeAreGuidedBySpirit]

Definitely a designer vibe out of these, like off-white

[@dapperalien]

thanks man :)

[@kezmonkey2435]

Ahh I've actually lost count of how many times I watched this video. Seriously man these customs are so lit, prob the best i've seen yet. I kinda just stumbled onto this whole scene of customising trainers this week and have been looking for inspiration for doing my first own pair. After seeing this literally everything else I had in mind looks shit xD probably too complex for me though as I've never used a sewing machine and don't have those skills :/ really wish I could just buy them off you lol. props to you though man :o

[@dapperalien]

thank you so much dude :) don't doubt yourself. get some cheap used trainers on ebay and give it a try. it looks way more difficult than it is ;) and maybe you can find some way around using a sewing machine. maybe paint the details on or something? any way i'd say just give it a try. because i'm not selling these, i'm just giving out the inspiration ;)

[@kezmonkey2435]

No problem man :) And yeah I was thinking to try out something like this on a cheaper pair of kicks first, especially the buckle strap idea which I really liked. Probably not nike for my first try lol.

[@marceldelvalle5746]

THESE ARE SO FIREEEEE DUDEE. in my opinion, I would take out the buckle

[@s1cknesss]

HOLY SMOKES !!! THIS IS TOO LIT!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I was planning on buying a white air force one yesterday BUT NOW since I saw this video... I think I’m going to buy a black one ( tbh..I still don’t know if my parents will allow me to buy another shoe 😂 ) BUT SERIOUSLY THO...you are one of the most creative youtuber I have ever seen!! Keep on making exceptional content and I love you so much!! ❤️💯🔥

[@dapperalien]

yes go for it! :D thank you so much :))

[@sorawbeats]

So dope bro I’m thinking about getting a pair of these and doing this and maybe even on some Jordan 1s🔥

[@dapperalien]

oh yes! on some jordans this would look this :D if you do it i'd love to see your result :)

[@dudeidk4890]

Damn this is fire, give this man a Nike collab ASAP! 🔥

[@dapperalien]

haha thank you 😂

[@lounesss]

omg that’s so cool, you should make more videos such as this one!

[@dapperalien]

thank you :) i defo will. this video was so fun to make :D

[@nicolasfuchs3072]

[@Mliggs]

They clean would buy if they made some like that nice work bro.

[@dapperalien]

cheers :)

[@chloesevignysaccountant]

YOU KILLED THIS

[@dapperalien]

thank you :D

[@abcdefg8465]

Hey good video! Try making some customs and replacing the laces with cable ties, that will look awsome for sure

[@dapperalien]

thank you. yeah that could be cool :)

[@chadkalaska]

This turned out sooo nice man damn

[@artistmac1.3]

These are fresh af bro nice job!

[@ccf3195]

Those are fire tbh nice work

[@miguelkarlo2412]

definitely better than the off-white pair. great diy!

[@dapperalien]

thank you :))

[@sirjariahsimon7980]

yoo bro this is a great custom..great content as usual 💯💯

[@dapperalien]

thanks man :)

[@nickyrivera3719]

I lyk what u did with them . U should've done something with the snap buckles a lil detail on them. But other than that. I definitely lyk them

[@legowarfare4891]

Cheeeese the way the laces are 🔥🔥🔥

[@Xccord]

were the swooshes hard to do? i really want to do it bc its looks so dope

[@Glory_voyage]

they look sick !! man

[@dapperalien]

[@highofflifekickstv]

You swag them tf out. On the real. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dapperalien]

[@michaeloreilly3708]

WOULD BUY, PLEASE START A SHOP AND SELL THESE!!!

[@dapperalien]

[@jesuscastanon261]

dapper alien But cant nike sue you for that??

[@nairalise]

@@jesuscastanon261 nope, if you sooner Nike.

[@jemsmanlan3909]

Like a factory jaha

[@SOYOROYOS]

this is what virgil abloh wanted he talks about it in his textbook that he just dropped for "THE TEN" nike c/o off white collabs love it man

[@qwerty-om4np]

Looks like something Off-White would do. You inspired me to do something similar. Also can you do the same thing with the all white ones/ or DIY Off-white air force 1

[@dapperalien]

yeeees! would love to see your pair :) maybe. i really enjoyed this custom and i'll defo try to make in the future :)

[@q-r8672]

These are actually 🔥

[@Hollywoodintx]

I want to add some Gucci pattern from old slides to the Nike swoosh, this is a great video

[@dapperalien]

yeeees that will look sick! thank you so much :)

[@AnthonySanchez-oh9do]

Personally don’t like them but they do look cool af and you did an awesome job u should make a full on channel about doing these things it was cool and very different

[@Handstyles]

Nice work but may I ask how you can tighten them with the laces being forced together with the cord stoppers at the upperside? Like what if I want to tie them to a loop? Thanks!

[@fredriksaxeide2228]

this is the dopest af1 i have seen

[@dapperalien]

thanks man :)

[@cierapaige9139]

Literally blowing my mind!!!!!!!!

[@coreylopes6325]

Those are actually fire

[@dapperalien]

thanks man :)

[@dantehensley6799]

i like the stitching on the swoosh, but personally i wouldnt have gone with the buckle. im not a fan of shoes with those snap buckles, or velcro lol. but otherwise i love these customs!

[@apr3corn]

Hey!!!! How did you sew the four little stitch on the swoosh? Is there a name for that type of sewing method so that I can look up for it?

[@ALEXtraordinaryART]

They look awesome! Also you are one of my favorite youtubers! You inspired me to also do fashion DIY's on my channel. But I don't know much about fashion, so it's probably really cringey.

[@dapperalien]

thank you so much :) that's awesome! i'll defo check your channel out ;)

[@michaellk2254]

Im impressed, these are pretty nice

[@dapperalien]

thank you :)

[@Mxha100]

*LOVEEEE THESEEE*

[@dapperalien]

thank you :3

[@Ange-or2np]

Fr though you should start selling customs this was so good

[@GamerNugget18]

Damn so cleannn! Keep up the good work!

[@dapperalien]

thank you :)

[@ryzviize6737]

they are so cleannnn

[@AlexCio]

This is awesome! But to be sure, you did a really great job with sewing over the nike signs! This can look absolutely bad if you are not carefully. Keep up your great work! :)

[@dapperalien]

thank you :) yep the swooshes were defo the scariest part :D

[@isaiahsalter6938]

bruh if these released😍🔥🔥

[@dapperalien]

thanks man 🔥🤙🏻

[@GoleenTech]

this is so fucking dope.. you have no idea how much i appreciate this video

[@dapperalien]

thank you so much man :)

[@FirebrandF5]

i like the work. it's clean

[@soundofthegardenwatc]

is there any paint at home depot or other local store that we can use beside angelus paints?

[@tamia8513]

Wish you did them on the mids but it still awesome ash

[@ryanlaurence569]

Amazing. I really need to pick up some black af1s

[@dapperalien]

thank you. yes go for it :)

[@saleennolan4170]

will hot glue ruin the leather? ps these are super cleannn

[@AntonioMartinez-gv4ng]

Nice job man really cool

[@IsThatJustDex]

I hate them lol but at the same time I can tell you really like them and it makes me like them too. Nice work

[@dapperalien]

haha you don't have to like them :D but thank you :)

[@IsThatJustDex]

dapper alien no problem

[@gabbe4846]

That literally made no sence

[@chaebaljon]

Great idea! Very original!

[@two0nine]

These are toooo fireeee, how much do you want for theseeee?!?!?!?!?

[@tksquad9942]

These go hard!!! I would buy these.😏

[@dapperalien]

thank you 😁

[@adgersont]

Damn those are too clean

[@dapperalien]

thank you :)

[@sauceaddict9569]

Tyjon Adgerson Nah.

[@roc-one7975]

What kind of sewing machine did u use ? And can I use a cheap $60 machine I have? It is strong enough for the leather?

[@dapperalien]

i don't know to be honest. i just use my mum's old one :D but the one i use is a fairly good one and it already had some trouble with the leather. so i think a 60$ machine won't hold up that well i think...

[@Bersto36]

These are absolutely fire, I would seriously buy them off of you or pay you to make me a pair

[@dapperalien]

thanks dude :) why don't you make yourself some? It's really not that difficult ;)

[@amenotejikara7589]

[@rsamar3221]

Dammm these are fire they have like a “OFF-WHITE’’ X CDG vibe

[@dapperalien]

haha i can see that :D thank you :)

[@targusmacintosh7506]

looks nice! maybe you could have machine sewed the buckle strap to make it a little cleaner but otherwise they're sweet.

[@dapperalien]

thank you :)) yeah you're right. but my crappy sewing machine could handle these thick strap, so i had no other choice :D
