Machine For Sneaker Reconstruction?

[904slumpin]

Hi I'm new to the forums and i need some advice on a machine that will reconstruct basketball sneakers.

I'm into sneakers decons and i have a couple questions, I am looking for a machine that will succesfully sew these fabrics such as leather, exotic skins and suedes

I know these machines cost thousands of dollars BUT is there a good enough older used machine that i could find on craigslist for around $4-600. I dont care if the thing is covered in rust and from 1809 aslong as it does the job.

A few models on my local craigslist would be

singer model 20-13 for $400

tacsew t622r for $500

singer 591 for $300

yamaha gc8500 for 600

juki ddl5530 for 700

chandler c-765

thompson pw201 (i beleive) for 400

singer 212g140 for $800

PLease any help is needed and suggestions/advice thank you

You need to get a Singer or Adler patcher machine. $600+. This will allow you to do simple things, such as replacing Nike checks etc, without having to take the whole shoe apart. Make money doing that then you can buy a flat bed or post bed to sew uppers. Good luck.
