Swarovski Supra Skytops

[2001invincible]

were these hard to walk in? because i was thinking about doing this to some of my Radii 420's

[DRauck]

@2001invincible I wouldn't say they're hard to walk in, but they are pretty heavy. I wouldn't suggest doing this and expecting to wear them all the time. I only wore these to short outings, and never all day. They never became uncomfortable or anything. I spent more time just worrying about accidentally tripping on something or kicking something and knocking crystals off.

[2001invincible]

@DRauck Oh ok thank you, i wanna catch some eyes with these so i gotta make sure they are comfortable lol :)

[2001invincible]

@DRauck So what made you wanna add some swag to those shoes ?

[DRauck]

@2001invincible Well, shoes that stand out has always kinda been my thing, so naturally I own quite a few different pairs of Supras. These in particular were inspired by a pair made for Lil Wayne that he wore when performing at the BET awards in '09

[2001invincible]

@DRauck Ohh ive seen those online, i think yours look cooler.

[2001invincible]

@DRauck so what size rhinestones did you use?

[DRauck]

@2001invincible 4mm I believe. I put a new link in the description because I think the previous one stopped working. From there you can choose from a large assortment of colors. The ones I used I think are just the standard Crystal color.

[2001invincible]

@DRauck oh ok, thanks bro :)

[JLHGaming]

how do you get custom supras?

[DRauck]

@JLHGaming I bought regular white supras and turned them into these.

[JLHGaming]

@DRauck oh damn, nice job man

[ThePaulmariano]

500 pieces? how much did it cost you? :O

[DRauck]

@ThePaulmariano 5000. 5 thousand. I probably spent $600 or so? Including the shoes.

[ThePaulmariano]

where can i buy those kind of crystals? :O

and how much?

[DRauck]

@ThePaulmariano Check the description ^_^

[ThePaulmariano]

@DRauck Oww. Thanks! :)

[ThePaulmariano]

@DRauck So how much did you get? :O

[DRauck]

@ThePaulmariano Around 5000 I believe. I ordered them as I needed them because I didn't want to buy too many

[kharimoore]

what happens if you wear glued crystals when they are

not dry

[DRauck]

@kharimoore I let them dry first.

[kharimoore]

@DRauck what could happen

[DRauck]

@kharimoore If the glue wasn't dry? The crystals would probably move around in a way you didn't want them to and you'd have to redo them all.

[kharimoore]

how long did they take for customization

[kharimoore]

are you a boy or girl

[DRauck]

@kharimoore A boy, why?

[kharimoore]

@DRauck oh i thought u were A GIRL FROM TE DESIGN. NO OFFENSE LOVE Da design you inspire me

you should make more.

[DRauck]

@kharimoore Haha it's all good, and thanks! These took me approximately 12 hours to do. If i had the patience to do more I would because I love how these turned out, but it's not a ton of fun to sit down and glue crystals for hours ;P

[kharimoore]

@DRauck how did you make it so thatwhen its wet the crystals fall off

[DRauck]

@kharimoore If you're asking how I made it so that the crystals don't fall off if the shoes get wet, I didn't. I just don't wear them if it's raining. These have only been worn like 3 times, all of which were at indoor events.

[kharimoore]

what size are the diamonds

[DRauck]

@kharimoore 5mm I think

[kharimoore]

how do you make them do you use glue



[DRauck]

@kharimoore Yeah, special glue for crystals.

[pornoslut]

those are amazing =) ...how much do they cost if you dont mind me asking ??? I would love a pair but I have no clue where to order something like that lol .

[DRauck]

@pornoslut I made them, I didn't buy them that way.

[sirfurr92]

hey bro im interested in paying you to make me a pair ....... ashaw2011@yaho.com...shoot my an email

[baaybayy]

oh my goodness. those are sick im so in love

[tretreswagg]

damn bro tdey look just like lil waynes custom ones that he ore at the awards im only 14 but if i had a job i would pay you 600 for em bro dem are sick great work

[DRauck]

@tretreswagg Thanks a lot bro, I put a lot of work into these. It means a lot

[multimediatrailers]

It's just a shame that the silver skytop You've customised is fake :/

[DRauck]

@multimediatrailers It's just a shame that not only are they not fake, they were white to begin with.

[multimediatrailers]

@DRauck What ever - There's no waxed laces? :?

[DRauck]

@multimediatrailers Oh the white ones didn't come with black laces and all the black waxed laces that I have are on my other pairs of shoes. Black laces look better than white laces on these though so I had to improvise :)

[SonicArtist3000]

My friend Justin Bieber made one of these.... How much can I have those for... I'm also famous for singing and make ALOT of money...

[DRauck]

@SonicArtist3000 Really? I've never heard of you. Anyways, I'm not sure how much I'd sell them for. I guess it depends on how bad you want them. It cost me around $400 to make, plus the 12 hours worth of labor. They're a size US7.5. If you'd fit in them and want them, then let me know what you'd be willing to pay

[SonicArtist3000]

@DRauck $500

[urckey]

You said $75 for 1440?

[DRauck]

@urckey It would depend on the color of the crystals. $75 sounds about right. Go to the website in the description and in the dropdown menu pick the kind of crystals you want. It'll tell you how much they are. I think the ones I used were $78 or so for 1440

[urckey]

How many do you think i need for a size 9.0?

[DRauck]

@urckey Probably around 5000? It's hard to judge so if you plan on making a pair, I'd buy the crystals like 1440 at a time (or whatever increments they come in) and as you need more buy more

[amanda57994]

thosee aree amazingggg<3

[amanda57994]

thoseee are amazinggg<3

[amanda57994]

thoseee areee amazinggggggg<3

[DRauck]

@amanda57994 Thank you :)

[ray31396]

those r sick. I went to that website nd I'm bouta order some of those black crystals. wat adhesive did u use cuz there r like 10 to choose from.

[DRauck]

@ray31396 I used Gem-Tac

[Slick23021991]

I guess they are inspired by the ones lil wayne wore at the bet awards last year ... very dope ! nice work !

[DRauck]

@Slick23021991 You're right :) thanks a lot

[DRauck]

@calumcphee21 Thanks, I have had a few come off. Not a lot though, like maybe 5 or 6. Most of which came from the crease in the toe. You just have to use the extra crystals and glue them back on. They stay on a lot better than I thought they would actually

[DRauck]

@TheSkateeverydaybros I posted the website in the video description because it wouldn't let me use it in a comment. From that website, you can buy them 1440 at a time in a ton of different colors in the size I used. Some colors are more expensive than others

[DRauck]

@TheSkateeverydaybros I didn't, I got them from different online stores. Wherever you buy them from, make sure you buy them in bulk because they'll be a lot cheaper if you buy a lot at a time. If you're serious about doing a pair, mine took between 4000 and 5000 crystals. But I only wear a size 7.5US, so anything bigger than that will require more crystals

[DRauck]

@TheSkateeverydaybros I've seen rhinestones in a lot of different colors. I don't know if they'll be Swarovski but I know real stones (as in not the little plastic ones) come in a variety of colors

[DRauck]

@TheSkateeverydaybros I was wondering the same thing. I just got lucky with these crystals sticking really well. If you wanted to try it, I'd find something that had the same material as the supras you want to do, and stick one crystal on first to see how well it stays. I'm pretty sure any material would work

[DRauck]

@TheSkateeverydaybros Around 12 hours total. I used an adhesive called Gem-Tac. You can probably get it at an art store. It's made to bond sequins and rhinestones to fabric

[TheFlamingCaterpilla]

how much did all the crystals cost?

[DRauck]

@TheFlamingCaterpilla I believe it was around $75 for 1400 crystals and there are between 4000 and 5000 crystals on these

[feelthegruve]

dang! those are sickkk!

[DRauck]

@feelthegruve Thanks, I worked hard on them :)

[DRauck]

I did. But only twice. These are my "dress" shoes

[mducky6]

@DRauck

I wish I wouldve seen you when you wore them. Next year?

[DRauck]

@mducky6 Probably

[mducky6]

@DRauck

Sweet!

[mducky6]

Holyshit. Why didnt you wear those to school!?
