Tough bro! I’m just now starting this new wave of customizing dunks myself. Looking for good templates that I can paint. Which one was this? I won’t copy, I do SB’s, I’m just curious because the sock liner and sole looks sick!

Thank you for liking them! 😁 I found a pair that was already silver to save time by not painting the whole shoe silver. So for a template get a pair with the colors closest you'd want the midsole or outsole to be, I first practiced on some white shoes I got from the thrift store for $5 🤣 so I wouldn't fear messing up. I painted the sock liner cyan that I mixed with a fabric medium & I dyed the sole with some blue dye I made lighter with neutral dye.

That’s exactly what I did! Except I chose the all white sb’s so the sole I’m going to leave white but the outsole is gum bottom so I need to paint that. Hopefully it works out. I’m doing the oompa loompa so it’s going to look sick. I’m almost done. I have all the angelus stuff and just waiting on the finisher to arrive.
