1UP MY KICKS

General message from 1UPMYKICKS.

For those who have requested reglues or have reglues in progress we have an issue with the glue. I have spoken with those concerned initially about the heat being an issue. Turns out the issue is far worse. The glue I purchased has been marked as bad-batch. As someone who works in the supply industry. Bad-batch means it does not fulfill its function and must be returned. We currently have 4 pallets of flooring nails that have been incorrectly manufactured, so I understand the process.

This batch of glue had a compromised bonding agent. When contact cement is applied it has two parts, a liquid solvent and a bonding agent. When applied, the solvent acts as a carrier to spread the bonding agent into every part of the surface being applied. It then evaporates leaving the bonding agent to begin the process of forming a chemical bond with that surface. Before bringing the surfaces together to create strong adhesion, both are heated to reactivate the tack. Unfortunately, the bond is not holding. I have tested 4 of the 10 containers I purchased, all with the same lot number. None of them have worked.

The company who I purchased from has agreed to pay for the return shipping and will resupply me in 4 weeks, as they have stock coming via ship from Germany. Turns out I am not the only one with this issue.

I will look locally for contact cement to do what needs to be done. Hopefully a clear cement.

This is the first real snag I have experienced in this business. I will be looking at other glue options, including extensive testing to have other options.

Restoring these beautiful J12s from the year 2000. The leather on old school Js is just built different...

What's good people. Been an age. We are a step closer to finishing work altogether to do Customs full-time along with some other amazing things that we have in the pipeline.

There is a lot of work behind the scenes.

With regard to the competition. That was put on hold due to health reasons. Glad to be alive. Will be drawing the winners this coming November on the 30th.

Until then, stay tuned.

A friendly reminder from your team at 1UPMYKICKS to wear your sneaks!!

Needed a change in the office to create more room.

Completed recently for one of the brothers. Jordan 1 Bred Toes and Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard 1.0

Had to strip the Breds down and start over. Shattered Backboards were and easy color set.

Both were different before hand. OG Heritage and Electro Orange.

Notice something weird? Custom life!

Something bout the whole Maori/Samoan connection in these that makes a person appreciate everything Polynesian. Shout out to Maraea Tauapau and her family. Enjoy them kicks.
