These Air Force 1 s Shoot Fire Retractable Blade Real Life Fire Bender Kingsman Shoes

So, uh, I got some Air Force Ones left over from my last wall climbing shoe video. You know, not the worst problem to have, but I was trying to think what I should do with them. Like in the last wall climber video, I put spikes in them, gave them a sweet Spider-Man style paint job, and, uh, went out in the woods and climbed some trees. So, I asked you guys on Instagram what I should do with these shoes. Yeah, I got some good responses. Basically, the majority of you guys said to either make them shoot fire or add a retractable knife blade. Looks like some things never change. Now, I know I say this in every video, but these project ideas come from you guys. I just go through and pick the most popular comments. So, if you guys have any cool ideas you want to see get made, definitely comment that. Also, ask you guys on Instagram as well. I do a lot of polls and, like, behind the scenes stuff. Uh, so give that a follow if you want. Also, very active on the DMs too. Not what you think. I want you guys to send me the projects you make. Because it's awesome to see what you guys come up with. Uh, and I like sharing it too. It's like a cool way to connect with you guys. So, uh, let's check some of those out. Also, just want to thank you guys for the super positive feedback I got for my last video. Flying like Avatar. Basically, a man drone. The next part is coming soon. I think it looks like the top comment from that video is make some Dr. Octopus tentacle arms. Yeah, it's gonna be tough. But, uh, I hear ya. So, for this build, I'm thinking since we got two shoes, let's make this one have a pop-out knife. Sort of like the Kingsman movie. That is sick. This one, shoot fire. Kind of like Avatar. Firebenders. Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome. Also, cheeky disclaimer. These shoes are obviously for entertainment purposes only. Like, it's just for show. It's like a cool accessory to have. Obviously, I'm not gonna be pulling up on anyone, like, knifing people. Like, if that wasn't clear. So, I don't want to see anyone doing this or getting hurt by it and blaming me. All right. So, for the blade shoes, we're gonna make the blade pop out of the front. And it's gonna be activated by a kick to the heel. A mini OTF knife should be the perfect place to start. Because it ejects and retracts with just a slight push of a switch. So, if we attach a metal rod to the trigger by drilling a hole in both the rod and the trigger. Attaching it with some wire. We can reposition the trigger to the heel. So, whenever you kick the heel, the blade will pop out. And we can also retract the blade by just pulling on the rod, too. So, to make sure this all slides smoothly, I added a little bit of tubing around the rod. So, we got it all made. Let's put it in the shoe. So, we're just gonna undo the laces and make a cutout in the sole of the shoe. Then we can also cut out a little piece of the front for the knife to stick out. We also gotta make a small hole in the back for the trigger rod. Slap the knife in there. Glue everything up. Put the sole back in place. And now the shoes look 99% like they originally did. So, this is cool and all. But, uh, you know we gotta finish this off with a sweet paint job. I know this isn't an art channel, but I like art. And I wanted to make this look good. So, I wanted the paint to relate to the shoe's functionality. So, I was looking online trying to find cool, like, knife patterns. But nothing was really sticking out. No pun intended. There's gotta be one pun in these videos somewhere. I did end up finding this cool, like, torn up, sort of ripped looking pattern. So, I took it into Photoshop and overlaid it over a picture of the shoes. And I think it looks pretty sick. It's a pretty out there design, but that's kind of what we're going for with these. So, I'm gonna try and paint this as best I can. Hopefully, I can do this justice. I've done some oil paintings before, but this is my first time using acrylics. So, fingers crossed. But my dad did just get me this sweet new paint set for my birthday a couple weeks ago. So, that should help. First, did a little test on paper just to kind of get the feel of the paint. And figure out the technique. So, once I was happy with that, moved on to the shoes. So, the acrylic was all right, but it didn't really blend the way I was used to, like with oil paints. So, I wasn't getting quite the outcome that I wanted. Also, the paint would come off a little bit too easily. I think I need, like, actual leather pants if I'm gonna use these. So, I ended up doing most of the work with paint pens and actually blend the colors. I used a cut off q-tip and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to sort of smudge it together. And I think this worked pretty well. So, here's the shoe. Like, I'm pretty happy with this. It's cool to be able to integrate art into some of these projects. Like, now we got both custom art shoes with cool engineering. Who else is doing it? Y'all gotta drop a like for this one. So, I mean, this is pretty self-explanatory. We've got the knife pop out of the front right here. Just a little slit. Not too noticeable. The bottom completely looks normal. Inside, normal. The only other thing that could potentially give it away is this little nub right here. But you need that. Like, whenever you press the back, the knife pops out. I'm going to retract it. All you gotta do is just pull on this little tab right here. It pulls back in. It's all automatic. Pretty cool. Got the shoe on. Looking pretty good. All right, quick little blade test. Just gonna kick the heel slightly. Watch for the blade. Oh, there it is. Yeah, wait, hold on. I think that box is trying to square up. No pun intended. I'm gonna be right back. Other possible jokes. That box is trying to box. Could you imagine playing soccer in these? Hey, guys. Sorry. Hey, come on. Don't be like that. Chuck E. Cheese later. All right, anyone thirsty? Guys, remember that bottle cap challenge? I'm gonna hit just the cap. All right, a couple practice swings. Oh, I missed that one. I actually tried to hit it. Oh, Jesus. You know, I've done this before. That exact same thing happened. I'm still surprised by the outcome. Still haven't learned to get everything out of the way in the splash zone. All right, so we know they work. We'll do more testing in a bit. But right now, we're walking around with one shoe here. We're still gonna make the other one shoot fire. For that, obviously, I'm gonna use my classic lighter cartridge hack. Basically, just remove the fuel restrictor from a cheap disposable lighter. Dumps a lot of fuel out all at once. If you haven't seen me do this before, clearly, you gotta like and subscribe. For the ignition, we're gonna use an arc lighter. These things are great. So I took it apart and 3D modeled the container to fit both the lighter cartridge and the arc lighter. The tricky part was to design it so we could easily swap out the lighter cartridge to reload the shoe. Also, we need a way to trigger this from inside the shoe. Maybe like with my toes or something. And the trigger needs to press both the lighter cartridge for the fuel and trigger the arc lighter for the ignition. And of course, it all needs to fit in the sole of the shoe. Bit of a tall order, but here's what I came up with. Basically, the lighter cartridge slides in from the front. Then there's a lever arm that folds down to press on the cartridge. Arc lighter parts are housed next to the cartridge. And the power button for the arc lighter was relocated to sit behind the cartridge. This way, as the lever is being pressed, the cartridge wants to slide backwards. It hits the button for the arc lighter. So the cartridge ejects fuel and the arc lighter lights. Perfect. So I 3D printed everything with 100% infill. Ton of supports. So hopefully it won't crack when I'm walking or running on it. I screwed everything together and cut a hole in the sole of the shoe. This one does take up more surface area than the knife shoe, but it's still the correct thickness, so we should be fine. Just got to be careful because this won't bend as easily as like the tip of a shoe. But I did pad all the insides with foam. So hopefully that'll help with like impacts, but we'll see. So I ended up mounting the arc lighter terminals to two screws at the tip of the shoe. The lever arm also peeks up into the bottom of the shoe, where I cut a little hole so we can control it with our toes. To refill this, all you got to do is flip the lever up and slide the lighter cartridge out of the front of the shoe. Having the lever arm up in this position is also handy when you want to walk around in the shoe, but don't want to risk accidentally lighting everything on fire. So that's a plus. Lastly, I extended out the charging wires from the arc lighter to the inside of the shoe, so we can still charge this thing. And finally, we got to paint this one as well. So let's do that. Once again, I did a few like flame style mock-ups. Looked at similar designs other people had done, but you know, nothing was really sticking out. So I ended up tinting the previous mock-ups we did all orange and red, because the rips actually kind of look like flames. Plus, if we keep the design similar, the shoes will actually look like a pair. I present to you the fire shoe. I already sort of explained this, but just a quick rundown. Once again, we've got the whole cartridge system in here. I attached it using some screws, but I also painted them white and glued them up, so they're not too noticeable. Inside the shoe, there's the trigger. When you push that lever down, an arc jumps between these two screws right here. It also shoots out butane from the cartridge, so we get that fiery effect. Might get a little bit charred over time, but you know, that's for future me to deal with. So to eject the cartridge, we just flip up the little lever in here, and then the lighter cartridge slips right on out. So we can refuel this or pop in a fresh one. And to charge it, we've got the little charging port right here, which just plugs into this wire. All right, so let's throw these on and have some fun. I'm gonna try and get some cool shots with these, so hopefully it turns out good. Enjoy. You guys digging these moves or what? Come on, who wants to smoke? All right, we did it. Not too much to say. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this video. So remember to comment your ideas down below for what I should make next. Like, subscribe, follow me on Instagram.
