What did you use to colour them, was it actual paints like Angelus or Createx, or did you use fabric dye. Looks like the latter to me. One hell of a project.

Nice work, pure. Would buy them immediately if adidas would bring a pair out like that.

Very nice Mr P, a real nice shade of blue.
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

Dark red/maroon would be better.

Awesome CW Sir P.
Could be "cleaner" though but you gotta love that yellowed/gum toe and blue&white CW. I believe next will be even better.

Yo, so I'm not exactly sure I understand what you did... removed the out layer of leather so you could custom dye the shoe? At first I thought it was a suede shoe you were trying to dye...?

Yeah, they were regular leather and instead of just wiping the surface with alcohol, so I could paint it, I actually wore away the surface until it looked like suede/nubuck.
Then dyed it !
