You don't know how one shoe is going to behave to another. They are all different and the proof is in the pudding or the wearing. Just because the job was durable on one doesn't mean it will be on other models made with different materials. I have had the same white 80s but using different leather or plastic leather. Different pigments behave in different ways too, some weaken the paint more than others. These jobs will never stand up the way factory ones do, just check the clauses on lots of famous customiser's websites. It is all a learning curve and I for one think I am just beginning (so my advice should be taken with a caution), I have seen the weaknesses in my work come back to bite me. Remember that nearly all the knowledge out there is based around painting Noike shoes and their materials, not adidas. So expect things to go wrong (even when taking your own mistakes out of the equation), but hope they don't. Sorry for the speech, but needed to be said.
