HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY CUSTOMIZING SNEAKERS - 4 easy tips

[@aemrico]

Your hands were out of control, didn’t take away from the good advice though 🔥

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@antonioamisano7555]

Haha

[@A.O.G_Clothing_and_Apparel]

I just started customizing. Custom colorways are obviously easy but my drawing skills aren't all that great, I'm looking to start using stencils.

[@Tqnvin]

Mike Dean how’s it going

[@fukcg00gle95]

Yea, can we get an update? Good luck 👍

[@A.O.G_Clothing_and_Apparel]

@@fukcg00gle95 i appreciate that. I started did a couple pair of sneakers and a pair of boxing gloves but i switched my focus primarily to clothing. I got a little design studio set up with a cutter and a press.

[@RefreshedCustoms]

Nice video bro. Painting shoes is easy, gettin the customers and fan base is the hard part. Atleast for me.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Refreshed Customs absolutely! Definitly something that takes some time and I’ve noticed the best people have found a way to stand out even if it’s just a little bit from everyone else

[@mikealburns2797]

[@gavinpearson9339]

These videos are so helpful and Dillon you have been the MOST helpful to get started, I followed your how to start with $100 and I’m on my 3rd pair now, but already have a small waiting list after my 10 freebie customs. Thank you for being so helpful to all us beginner customisers

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Ayyyy congrats that’s awesome to hear!

This is the second video I'm watching. Ya'll watch out. I'm trying to test the "You Can Anything You Set Your Mind to Do" advice. 😆😆

[@kipstick6116]

This is a clear example of someone who read a book on “Effective Communication” that said to use your hands and body language. This guy took that and now has to talk to the camera while doing jiu jitsu

[@Karlalx3]

Jio jitsu i wasn't expecting that hahahahaha

[@raullopez9976]

Do you recommend artist should tell their clients to give a deposit down before they start or should they expect their client to pay afterwards since clients are sending their own shoes to get customize?

[@rastainibushman]

Give thanks for this video. I have a small group of people I do customs for and it's to gain exposure. I greatly appreciate you giving this advice. Sharing is caring.

[@gatovalue]

Great video. Your definitely helping the culture with your knowledge and experience in this business. I started customizing way back in 2005 then stopped, moving on to graphic arts. Back then it wasn't easy getting tips on social media the way it is now. Much respect! ✊ Your work and way you move on social media inspires me to get back as a footwear customers. Keep it up and stay blessed! 🙏 🙏 for the shout out. -gato

I want to know how it works with the lv sign and disney figures etc do u have to pay someone so u can work with that .... like its brands so can u just draw and paint and sell orr do you have to pay someone ?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I would say it can be a relatively bit of a grey area, you deifnitly aren’t suppose to mass produce with their trademarks .. but by creating one off artwork you’re in good shape

[@matteobarello2956]

Do u think is better taking the shoes from the client or buy it....

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Both work fine, but if you buy the shoes for the client now the price is even higher for them on an already expensive item so just something to consider

Guys, what kind of a tool should I use for outlining and drawing? Is a brush my only option? Are there any paint markers or pens I can use on shoes?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

You can test our toothpick method! And if it’s just for outlines that’s the one time I would say a paint marker can do the trick 🤙🏽

Mike K for what? It’s artwork , not mass production.
