MLB Hired Me to Customize This...

check it out this is the package sent to

me by the MLB straight up they recently

hit me up to customize some shoes for

one of their players Mook bets and they

sent me the shoes look they sent me two

pair of shoes these are Jordan one

cleats and this pair of Jordan one

loaves I'm going to be customizing both

these shoes I'm going to do a lot of

painting I'm going to cut up some

baseballs sew them on the shoes I also

want to make my own boxes out of woods

so I can put the shoes in and then drive

up to LA surprise them with the shoes I

think it'll be cool I was also told if

he likes these shoes he's going to wear

them at the first game at Dodger Stadium

on opening day so that's obviously going

to be my goal and the first thing I did

was get the leather ready for paint I'm

going to sand lightly all these like

little spots where the shoe creases when

he walks that's like where the paint

could usually come off if it does but it

never does I pretty much started the

shoes by making each panel a different

shade of gray I kind of tinted the gray

blue also and then I went back over each

panel and did like a little cartoon

Shadow accent this is pretty much the

same color just a little bit darker also

if you guys watch baseball you probably

already know who mookie bets is he's one

of the top players in the MLB he's a

seven time all

milk bet

par a drive to and he's a Jordan athlete

that's also why I'm doing both pair of

Jord the base colors of the shoe are

done but I want to go to the store right

now and buy a baseball I think it'd be

cool to use actual baseball leather on

the shoe I also want to do that that car

I know like every single comment's like

oh look at the car in the background but

I only got that to paint it I think it'd

be cool to design it I just don't have

an idea yet I'm going to get like four

or five baseballs I want to cut them up

and put them on the shoe here's my plan

I pretty much want to cut all these

little stitchings off so then I can peel

back the baseball leather they kind of

have a natural Bend to it cuz it was on

a ball so I'm going to pick off all the

little hairs then take them home and

iron them flat count to 9 1 2 3 4 9 once

I had that flat I cut off the tongue of

the shoe I pulled out my sewing machine

and sewed that baseball on a different

tongue I'm sewing this to follow the

holes that are already in the baseball

right now so I'm just going all the way

around and for the strings poking out

the back when I was done sewing I

threaded those through a needle and then

stuck it through the mesh of the tongue

and then I added like a little drop of

glue on that piece of string poking out

then I pulled it through so it dro R

inside the tongue I sewed it back on

it's all on looks good the next morning

it was time to finish all the little

details of the shoes I sprayed on the

Dodgers logo on all four side boxes with

a little bit darker blue mookie bets is

also a family oriented guy so I used the

iPad and Drew out a little heart shape

that kind of fit the back panel of the

shoe and then I wrote him and his wife

and kids names in there and then put

that to print I want to paint on the

baseball leather Seven Stars he's a

seven time Allstar so I want to like do

like a handdrawn Seven Stars I thought

it would be cool to kind of sand down

the stars after I painted them and then

I added the MLB logo on top of that ooh

nice boom boom that looks good I sprayed

on the stencil I made finished up all

the last little details and touches the

shoes are pretty much done I'm going to

add this little matte clear coat now I'm

also going to add a couple drops of this

doar into the clear coat this stuff's

pretty cool Watch what it does if I take

some normal paint look I put it right

here now I'm just going to add a little

bit of doar in here it literally turns

the paint perfectly matte I like when

the shoes are matte coat not like glossy

I don't like glossy shoes at all this

one's like chalky and matte and this

one's glossy I used that to coat the

whole shoe and protect the paint okay

also on these little lace tabs the

little tips of the laces what is it

called an aglet yeah isn't it infinish

verb I have these little covers I'm

going to glue on the tip of each side of

the laces I think they look really cool

boom see I think that just looks better

that just looks cleaner it should be

nice so hard giving these away like I

always like the shoes I do and then I

just have to give them away to somebody

else look at that though oh those are

nice these look really clean got the

Shadows the accents all the little

colors this is just the first pair so

these are the first pair of shoes before

I start these shoes I want to make a box

I want to make a box for both the shoes

I feel like it's not as exciting

delivering in a cardboard box so I'm

going to go to the store and get some

wood I want to make wooden boxes I went

to the wood store and picked out a

couple sheets of wood that were kind of

the same height as the boxes I took

those back to the warehouse to get

started but I figured it would make the

most sense to have the wood glue drying

while I was working on the shoes I think

I'm just going to cut out four pieces

four sides of the box and then also cut

out the bottom out of the wider piece of

[Music]

wood

you're welcome for that I got this

router I don't even know how to use it

but I'm borrowing from the warehouse

neighbor I'm going to slide the boards

on the router and then kind of chip out

a little corn so when I glue it all

together I can fit the lid in perfectly

look at the edge that's perfect I

wrapped a little piece of sandpaper

around a block of wood just so I could

rub it in that little crack I kind of

liked how sharp the edges were and I

didn't want to Dole them out I lined up

all four sides of the box which I'm not

going to lie this is way harder to get

perfectly straight than I expected I

taped them together in place filled all

the cracks with wood glue and then put

it all together I got it all clamped up

I'm going to leave this to dry also

sorry I haven't been posting for a while

it's been like 5 weeks since my last

video I've been working on a couple

videos at the same time you'll see them

soon now but if there's something you

guys want to see more of or less of

comment down below cuz at the end of the

day I make these videos for you guys I

think sometimes people think there's no

point to comment cuz I won't see it but

I have a weird addiction to reading

every single comment let me know what

you guys want to see I want to base the

shoes off Dodger Stadium the seats are

kind of like tan and blue I guess they

designed it to look like the beach

there's like blue like the water and the

sand so I'm going to paint the back

pieces tan with the shadow under it kind

of like the shadow under the seats I

painted the other pieces light blue you

know kind of like the ocean water on the

side of the shoe there's like this

little this Air Jordan logo I want to

fill it in with black sometimes if I

don't have a small brush I'll just I'll

take a normal one just cut off some of

the hairs it literally is the same thing

now it's a tiny brush there was probably

a better way I could have done this

piece cuz it took me an hour and a half

just to make it look good okay I think

the box is dry the next morning I left

it overnight I need to still glue the

top and the lid on I'm going to take the

clamps off now and then glue on the

bottom of the box and then leave that to

dry while I work on the shoes more I

wanted to add some more baseball on the

shoes at first I wanted to use the

baseball leather as the Nike logo on the

shoe that was at least the plan at first

I feel like the baseball leather didn't

really match the gray on the shoe

instead of repainting the sides I

thought if I added more and more details

it would kind of make the shoe look

better but it didn't I would paint a

piece and then asone it off cuz I wanted

to redo it and then I painted again and

the paint kind of got clumpy I would

also sew on something then Uno it and

then there was like holes in the shoe

the more and more I did to the shoe it

just made it harder to save and make

look good I just don't like it I don't

know

um I just do not like

it I messed it up I don't know what I

was doing I don't even know I'll be

honest I did get pretty upset at the

shoes um I usually don't put the stuff

in the video but I will just to show you

guys

it

is it's always me I'm just kidding that

was not real I filmed that like 30

minutes ago I thought it'd be funny got

him that's actually how I felt though I

can also usually start over on the shoes

just get a new pair but they sent me the

shoes and I didn't have anymore so the

next morning I ended up driving an hour

and a half to the closest store with the

shoes and stock and I honestly had a

better plan this time I kind of figured

out what I did wrong last time and

exactly what I want the shoes to look

like I still kept the beach colorway for

the theme of the

shoe but then for the sides and front I

wanted to add a lot more baseball

leather I glued those on the shoe and

Then followed the original holes that

were in the baseball with my new

Stitches so it still looked like the

baseball stitching I was pretty much on

my last full day of working on the shoes

and as bad as it was ruining the other

ones these ones were going way

[Music]

better the shoes are definitely getting

there they're almost done this is the

last day we have I want to dye the box I

want to stain the Box blue I bought this

blue stain it's like navy blue stain I

have the other box drying right there

tomorrow's the last day when I wake up I

have to you know finish this box and

then go timing is really tight but

should be able to get it all

done um maybe this isn't the best angle

dude this looks sick while that was

drying I set up all the last parts of

the shoe cut out the LD for the box and

pretty much stayed up all night trying

to finish the shoes and the little

details in the boxes so the next morning

I clear coated everything put it all

together and all that was left was to

deliver the

[Music]

shoes all right so I made you two pair

of custom shoes yep Ready I made the box

also this is the first

one you can open it

up oh

okay got the little details in there too
