I am not an expert. I should have said, Supe savvy individual. The problem with coloring them with a sharpie, in my opinion, is that it's not a paint made specifically for leather. I found a site about stripping the sealant from shoes (they were nikes in the video) and repainting them with an airbrush filled with paint specially formulated for leather. I assume the marker would fade or run. Generally making a mess out of a brand new pair of shoes. I just thought it was quite a bad idea in general. I do want to get all those expensive supplies and custom paint some supes myself someday. Not with office supplies.
