You have inspired me to try some Jordan 4’s. I have followed your instruction la so far with separating the donor top and the Do it bottom. I will say to expand on fencing the donor from a new pair of Nike golf shoes this is what I did and it came off like butter. I’m no expert by any stretch and this is my first attempt but I let the boiling water sit in the shoe for about 5-10 mins then I took them outside and used acetone with a cotton ball around the edges and working around slowly and the man the sole, it came apart much easier and clean. It left hardly any glue residue. Next is to get them glued

 

I know this is an old post, but do you remember what soles you used as donors? Also, did you go same size for donor upper and soles, or did you have to go up/down .5 size? I have a pair of fire red 4s, I'd love to try this with.

I'm going to do some 11s at some point. I know govrn likes to use TD 11s when he does them, and they're super hard to find in my size. The ole lady might serve me papers if she finds me in the garage ripping apart any more shoes 🤣
