Moos exploded his instagram page. His mother received several emails from people who wanted to buy custom sneakers for their own children. Moos couldn't handle all this, and Moos and his mother put the brakes on it.
Moos has eleven orders until mid-June, after which there is a waiting list . Moos only works on weekends, as school simply goes for it. The shoes are sent to Moos or given to Moos' mother. Moos is on average one to three days busy with customizing. Customers can choose from a theme such as Fortnite or a certain color. In addition, customers are also free to choose a own design . Moos buys new things from the proceeds and can use it to become even better. He will soon register as "Mr. Moz" at the Chamber of Commerce.

Many sneakers have one last hole at the end of the lace holes that is used by virtually no one . On the Nike Air Max you will definitely find it again! Guess what! The latter lace-hole is to create a so-called "very lock". The whole or lace lock ensures that your foot stays in 1 place and does not slip on the back. And it is precisely these slippers that create the blisters on your heel.
Step 1 . Lace up your shoe until the last but one hole. Make "no" bow of course! Then grab the end of the lace and turn it back to the top hole on the same side. From the outside in. Do the same on the other side.
Step 2 . Cross the laces from both sides to the other side. If you have performed step 1 correctly, you should have a "loop" on both sides of the sneaker. After this you put the end ends of the laces through the loops.
Step 3 . Tighten the laces. You will immediately feel a big difference, because the sneaker is now a lot tighter at the top. After this you can tie the sneakers.
The combination of the tightly pulled laces and the tongue of the sneaker ensure that your foot is "down" pressed. But not in a way that makes it feel uncomfortable. If the whole lock feels annoying, try tying the shoelaces a little looser. If you have done it correctly, the "lace locks" will hardly be visible.
]]>Sneakers are ON today! But where do they actually come from? Who made sneakers what they are and why are sneakers so popular? The sneaker originates from the sports shoe, so to speak. What once started as a "fun looking sports shoe" has developed into a true sneaker culture. Brands like Converse, Nike and Adidas have brought the sneaker to where it is today. One of the most worn and appreciated shoes ever!
To find out where the sneaker comes from we have to go back in time, far back! The first sneaker dates from the end of the 18th century! It was nothing more than a shoe with a rubber sole, where a left and right shoe didn't even exist!
The story goes that a notorious policeman got tired of hearing criminals coming from far away. His heavy police shoes made too much noise. He then designed his own shoe with a rubber sole. He called them for fun, sneakers! It comes from the verb 'to sneak'. With these shoes he finally managed to silently sneak up on the criminal and pick him up!
In 1908 Converse launched its first sneaker and in 1917 the Converse All Star was born. This shoe was widely used as a basketball shoe. In 1920 came the sports brand Adidas, led by the brothers Adi and Rudolph Dassler. The "sneaker brothers" came with a tennis shoe. The beginning of a long 'war' over the sports shoe started.
In 1948 there was a quarrel between the brothers Adi and Rudolph Dassler. Brother Rudolph decided that he could do better himself. And so Puma was born!
Before the fifties sneakers were mainly sports shoes for basketball players and tennis players. That's when the image of the sneaker changed. It became the shoe of the rebels! Because of the low price and mass sales the youth started to walk on sneakers.
Sneakers became real fashion, then James Dean wore the sneakers under a Levi jeans in the hit 'Rebel without a Cause'. This was the beginning of sneakers as a fashion statement under your normal clothing.
In the following years more and more competitors came on the market, the now famous sports fashion brand 'Nike' came on the market in 1962 under the name Blue Ribbon Sports, later Nike inc.
Thanks to the world's best basketball player Michael Jordan, the sneaker sales exploded in the 80s. MJ signed a contract with Nike to wear 'Air Jordan'. Nike, Reebok, Adidas and Puma have been fighting over the "sneaker wearer" ever since. The image of the sneaker changed with laceless models, bright colors and prints..
What started as a sports shoe has grown into a shoe that belongs in every shoe collection. Sneakers are ideal to combine, fashionable, affordable and hip!]]>
Cleaning the sneakers step 2 < / strong>
For the pre-treatment you can very well use a cotton ball or a ball of cotton wool. Pour some alcohol on it and rub it gently over the surface of your sneakers before you put them in the washing machine. With suede sneakers it is very advisable to dab instead of rubbing to prevent ugly spots.
Sneakers wash step 3
If the most obvious dirt has been wiped off your sneakers you can now put your sneakers in the washing machine together with your laces. Then add your favorite detergent. Set the water temperature to cold. This is to prevent the shrinking of your sneakers and to keep the colors well in tact. At warmer temperatures, the colors may fade.
Please note!
When you have finished washing, remove the sneakers from the washing machine and put / hang you put them in a moderately light spot. NEVER place your sneakers in direct sunlight! This too can make your sneakers shrink and discolor. The dryer is also prohibited area for your newly washed sneakers. Let your sneakers dry gently. You can optionally put a clean white cotton towel or some white paper loosely into the sneakers while drying, so that they retain the original shapes and can absorb the excess water. Do not use newspapers for this, as they can give ink stains. Don't be surprised if your sneakers are not completely dry after 24 hours. It can take from hours to sometimes days before your sneakers are completely dry again.
Put your laces back in your sneakers and wear them as if they were never dirty!

]]>In our day and age, finding a moment of actual privacy is rare. Social media keeps us at bay wherever we go and whatever we do, shared office spaces are getting immensely popular and it seems as if we this lack of privacy comes hand in hand with the loss of what makes us unique, individual and special.
Not to say, of course, that we are all unique special snowflakes that need to be protected, but it does mean that it’s just great that the possibility to find individuality still exists – even for these giant corporation’s mass production items.
Nike custom shoes – that’s what we are exploring today.
The world has increasingly become more “productive” than it ever was since the start of the great industrial revolution in 1760.
That is to mean that production has become so technologically advanced that we are now able to produce, say iPhones, in a yearly rate of 76.5 million more units than the whole population of the then-British-colony.
In an age when numbers like these are a day-to-day reality for any company and service, there’s no surprise that we can sometimes feel a little out of our element sometimes; like we don’t have the possibility in this sea of options and choices – those that are uniquely ours.
That’s exactly why graffiti-artists, fashion designers and others have turned to the most iconic mass-produced brands as a method of reclaiming our lost individuality.
It might sound a little far-fetched, but let’s explore these Nike custom shoe trend and see for ourselves.
Let’s go back to the old days, like really old, when it was still ok to wear frosty-eyeshadows.
We are traveling back in time to the nineties – a decade into the market-bombing launch of the Nike Air Force Ones.
Everyone was going crazy for this fresh new kicks in town, which made them a staple of status and swag.
Infiltrating the market through the basketball court and the street-play culture of uptown New-York, these sneakers were everywhere, and as such – they grew pretty un-special, pretty fast.
Of course, there’s no possible way of tracing this trend of customizable shoes to its the actual origin, there were numerous artists and graffiti-enthusiasts that probably did it before it was mainstream, as so many hipsters do, but we can definitely identify when Nike themselves saw this need arise.
On the brink of the new millennium, moments before the Y2K scare and other ridiculous trends that we allowed existing, Nike have seen an actual change is a society that was slowly creeping into the footwear industry – the loss of the individual.
Hurrying to provide their growing customers with a viable solution to this feeling, Nike launched the 1999 NikeiD Studio.
Now customers could go online, or visit a physical location, to modify and choose their own unique color schemes.
In other words, and simpler ones at that, Nike offered the end-client to customize his own mass-produced shoe.
Now people not only rocked the Air Force Ones on the street, but they were also rocking their own style and personality as well.
Individuality was taken for granted by these massive corporations, and customizing the shoe, whether during production or post-production, gave a certain sense of selfhood alongside still conforming to the current trends of swag and fashion.
Having the Nike iconic swoosh on your feet meant that you don’t only understand the current culture, but you also take part in it.
To this day, the swoosh allows people to wear fairly plain clothing-articles and be received with open arms to one of the most exclusive clubs of them all – the “Stylish Lifestyle” club.
Understandably, attaching this swoosh to a color scheme of your choosing meant that you aren’t any part of this club – you’re the one who sets the tone.
Keeping this motivation in mind, it’s not so shocking to learn that the demand for this product skyrocketed in just a few quick days.
Luckily – Nike wasn’t shocked either.
Expecting these high levels of demand in advance, Nike had launched the service primarily through the internet, with just a little over a hundred physical locations open and running to this day.
Customizable shoes were almost unanimous with the appeal of these ever-growing phenomena called “World Wide Web”.
Ordering your shoe from the comforts of your home, having as much time as you may need or want to decide on the final look and then receiving it to your own doorstep, could it be any more personal?
Ordering customizable shoes online is just another way of making them appear much more personal and unique, and that’s why after NikeiD was launched – everyone else wanted to get into the business as well.
The answer, as you may assume yourself, depends on the customization you are looking to have.
Some artists and designers paint on the shoes, some print, some use other dying techniques and NikeiD themselves manufacture it from scratch.
Time is money, though, and it’s important to check and see how long a process you’re looking at.
I personally find that personalized patterns and colors are the best way to go, not just because the preference of colors is the window to one’s soul, but also because you can go online and find existing color schemes that suit your every need.
Available merch means no extra waiting time and maximum value.
As simple as that or at least as “Samplez that” (sorry for the horrible pun, we had to).
When you go on and order a pair of personalized shoes make sure to check for the specifications of the “work-time” on them, and take that in mind when deciding what service to go with.
