When Travis Scott stepped away from Jordan 1s and released a Mac Attack I think we were all wondering what it would look like. What many of you don’t know if that the Mac Attack sneaker is one of Vick’s daily wearers, but this release just didn’t do it for him. Although the Mac Attack was a solid drop it could’ve been better! In today’s episode of Customs with Vick Almighty he will put his spin on the Mac Attack X Travis Scott drop using one of his iconic Jordan colorways!
To start this project off we had a couple different steps from the mock up work to pick a colorway whether that be the classic Mocha colorway, the Reverse Mocha or the Olive. Ultimately it was the Olive that looked the best on the Mac Attack Silhouette. Next we had to head over to one of our favorite sneaker shops, Undefeated to pick up the blank canvas. Finally we needed to find some leather for the swooshes to match that beautiful Olive color, so we made a stop at Tandy’s! Now with all the prep work done it was time to get to the real work!
The first step of the actual customization process was to prep the sneaker. In order to do this we had to remove the swooshes and the glue underneath! Once the shoe was prepped and ready to go it was time to tape it off and dye the white mesh to match the black tones from the Olive Jordan 1. For this process Vick chose to hand dye it rather than a dip dye to ensure that the dye didn’t get anywhere else. This dye job took precision and patience to say the least! With the sneaker dyed it was time to move on to the next step.
The inner swoosh needed to be painted an Olive tone, but first came more taping and a white base coat to make sure the black didn’t show through the olive paint job. Last step on the paint job portion was to turn the Nike logo red to stand out.
With all the painting out of the way Vick headed over to his Cricut to cut out the Catus Jack/ Mac logo to place on the back of the sneaker. Once the sneaker was ready he placed the stencil down and prepped to paint the logo right on to the back of the sneaker.
Now here we go… It is time to go to the laser engraver to cut out the classic backwards swoosh that you see on every Travis Scott release. Shout out to Nick Wilson for making this happen! Now the leather that you saw us pick out earlier in the video didn’t quite work how Vick wanted it too, so we went with a plan B! He painted the swoosh prior to applying it onto the sneaker using the Post Bed. With the stimulated swooshing done it was time to use some glue and stick it to the shoe.
Vick completed a lot of steps for this project, but ultimately it was one of his easy ones! Last step was to age the sneaker using a Foxtrot sneaker marker in the Sail colorway. Just like that the sneaker is looking like a completely different shoe!
Did Vick make the right choice with the Olive Colorway or would you have picked one of the other options?! Drop a comment to win some free product!
