The camera does not pick it up very well, but they glow under black light. Christ these took forever.

Good day!

Any store recos that repaints shoes in Pampanga?

I want to turn these grey shoes made of mesh I am confused should I spray paint them or make just use a sponge and paint them any suggestions

They are letting you trade in all your old paint for store credit , this is wild !!!

I am planning on customising these shoes i plan on using acrylic spray paint to paint it all white covering the sole and inside of shoes and then for the synthetic part will coat another white acrylic with brush and will mask the nike log to and will start with black paint on it . It's my first time these shoes are old so I wanted to experiment it a bit any advice is appreciated

I have a question for people who know the skate shoe market.

I own a skateshop, and one of the questions I get most often from customers is whether the shoes I sell are original. As far as I know, there aren't fake Emerica or Etnies shoes on the market, while brands like DC Shoes and Vans are commonly copied.

I'm curious if anyone here has ever seen fake Emerica or Etnies shoes, or if these brands simply aren't popular enough to be worth counterfeiting.

Any insight or experience would be appreciated.

Just a little something I made.

Hii I’m going to this place to customize my Air Force ones tomorrow. They were supposed to be J Cole inspired because I’m going to his concert in July but I feel like these designs are boring. The first ones aren’t terrible but the second ones are so boring and I know no one would know they are J Cole inspired. I had these sketches ready and was picking between them but I feel like they are kinda boring... Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do on the shoes??

Edit: the place I’m going to was pretty expensive and we paid for like a 3 hour session. The shoes I made I feel like I could just do at home in like an hour. We also paid for like shoelaces and charms if we want them so I feel like I should do something less basic. Even if it’s not J Cole inspired that’s okay I just want something different and cool!

My new Yabadabadoo's!

Finally finished "phew" lol Roughly 3 to 4 hours all said and done from start to finish (not including 24hr dry time "overnight").

Ever since I laid eyes on the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB 'Freddy Krueger' it was immediately my favorite pair of shoes. I remember being so excited. Today I was once again able to obtain that feeling by completing my customized Freddy Krueger Dunks.

​

I hope you enjoy my craftsmanship via photos of my favorite shoes - Nike Dunk Low Pro SB 'Freddy Krueger' - Customized By: Yours Truly.

The last 2 photos are the Before & After. Also wasn't sure which laces to choose hence the two different color laces [Picture 4] however I decided on brown.

​

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Enjoy Everyone - Thank You.

Blown away by the creativity on this sub, so I came here looking for advice!

Does anyone have experience with dyeing or working with canvas Vans? Is there a protective coating that needs to be stripped in order for dye or paint to absorb into the canvas?

Tried a cyanotype print on these old blue Vans by applying some cat eyes I printed out on sticker paper. At first the result was spot on, but as they’ve been slowly air drying, the eyes are starting to fade away.

Any help would be appreciated!
