[captions ON]
Hi! Ace's here. ahm.. the today's video is about...
it's about my shoes
[captions ON]
you know... some people don't believe that I
make my own shoes, and
for all these years
I.. I never had a chance to
record the... the process
that I make my shoes
once I took some pictures, but... ahm...
it not shows that well
the process
and.. finally I
had this moment
and now I decided to share with you
and to show people how I make my own shoes
ahm.. since 1998 I make my own shoes
ahm..
I couldn't find the proper shoes for
the sports I used to practice
something like 'Le Parkour'
I've been evolving my shoes
but it remains the same model
on purpose to be simple
to be only black
to be...
shineless...
shinningless...
...
people ask me all the time: uh...
'Are you... are you wearing socks?'
'..I mean... ONLY socks?'
'are you with.. slippers?'
only leer...
...to my feet when I am... when I am passing by
some approach me and ask me 'What is that?'
the first reason it's because I wanted
shoes that 'was' light, easy to wear
ahm... flexible, ahm... make no noise when I'm walking
ahm... and I was... and I started to
project and and... test some kind of shoes
and I didn't find... my .. ehm.. this shoes in the market
at that time I.. I... I love to... I used to.. to...
to climb, to run, to jump... and ahm..
climbing shoes 'is nots'.. 'is'... 'is' not that good to jump
so it have to be a little thicker than the climber, and...
a little more 'lighter' than the...
the running shoes and to
jump shoes and I kind of got this style
and...
like my style of uniform, I...
would like a shoes to be ... ahm.. discreet
beautiful, nice.. for all situations
I don't like to have: shoes for party, shoes for walking, shoes for 'run',
shoes for work... you know?
so... here's my model!
I only wear black clothes since 1995
for 15 years now
by a vow
and ahm...
the reason I use
only equal clothes, it's because I.. I want
my day by day to be simple
I don't want to fill my head with questions like:
'oh my god! what clothes should I wear today?'
some clothes I draw
and I.. ask someone to make to me
other p... other pieces I make myself
like my shoes and my belt
ahm...
I draw and.. and.. and... design
a.. a.... kind of uniform
that it's useful for me in.. in..
a lot of situations
so I go the gym, I.. I run
I work, I go shopping
ahm... everything with the same clothes
it doesn't lock / s-stuck my movements
ah.. it is fast to dry, ahm..
it is... it is light to wear
and I feel comfortable with this
I like the... long version of this shoe
like a boot. ahm...
ahm... I'm going to add some pictures here
I-I make this model from 2000 'til...
2003
it's more work, more rubber, it's not... it's not that fast to...
to put on... and ahm....
...but I like it! I... I-I miss sometimes
'm.. I'm gonna... I'm going to...
to remake it
OH! and.. another thing. ahm...
in the past, I..
I used to make this shoes with leather
the leather, ahm...
has..
hasssSSsSs
has one problem. (SOME problems)
it gets ahm... dried
i-it 'lose' flexibility
as you going t.. a-as you go using it
and a.. it cracks
it 'lose' the color
so.. when the shoe 'get' old
(gets old) ahm..
it gets ugly
and this new model
which is totally.. ahm...
sintethic... sin.. thetics? s-sh-f-sh-s..
syn-thetic
(sorry)
ahm.. it remains beautiful
'til the end of i..its 'day'
its days
and after I switched from leather to rubber
I stopped making the boot version
but I... I miss. I... I'm... going to make
one day.. again
AND... another... another thing
these days, somehow, I...
I started to miss when I.. when I... used to skate
ahm... not the board, the... the... the boots
skating. And I... probably
if I return to skate again
I'm going to make with this shoe
I'm going to make a boot with a...
the wheels!
I hope one I'll have a bigger house
with more space, because
what you see...
what you see here is improvising
because as you can see, I am
ah.. working with
scissor, knife and glue
upon the same desk I use my computer
in case you don't know, my main work is
computer graphics, and ahm...
behind this window, ah..
there's a screen showing a rendering in progress
see?
so... to mix 'this' two worlds for me
it's completely unacceptable, so I definitely need more space
one more thing I am doing special this time
besides the... the fact I am recording
it's I am testing new types of rubber
because I am...I am not happy with the
rubber I've been using these lasts four years
ah.....
ah... I have been using a rubber that is very light
ahm...
I-I-I need to weight the... the shoes
the new and the... thahm... older rubber
to m... to... to see the difference
the.. the shoes I've been making is very light
BUT it is very weak rubber
ahm.. and I need something more strong
to shove heavy things, like
shoving a car, or.. I don't know. whatever
ahm...
so I... I bought this
ahm... high-density rubbers
I'm not trus-trustful with the... ah... this new rubber
so I.. I ma.. I am making three shoes
two with the new rubber and one with the old
rubber that I already know
so in case the new rubber
the shoe break or something, I..
I have another one as a... a step
you know, after...
all these years.. ten years.. making this
I...
I don't get dirt with the glue anymore
and I know high-density rubber has a problem
ahm... it doesn't accept that well the glue
the same way the lighter rubber... ah... ace.. accepts
ahm...
so I have to file the rubber before passing the glue
and let's pray it work well
now it's the cover part
the cover part is.. is very... is very...
annoying to do, because... ah...
if you press too hard
the.. the glue s-start to
to flow though the...
the fabric, and ahm...
(fahbric? fabric?...)
and ahm...
if you don't push too hard
it... the...the cover gets.. ahm..
folding
and I want (it) to be... s-straight
I think it... that's the...
the second making of video I make
ah.. with... such length, and ahm...
the reason I am talking here is to
make things not that boring
because only people who work with this
think this is an interesting thing to watch, you know?
and I believe most people, most youtubers... ahm... don't
so... I am... talking here! :)
well.. that's it!
now you know! now you saw
my work. I'm working with my shoes.
hope you enjoyed the video and
see you on next
