Ever De Leon Stan uses samples from Dido's "Thank you" which is also used by goblins from mars

Looks good

[@joshpollocks8220]

That is soooooooo sick

[@huzle146]

you could've left some pink in there like just the nike tick or if addidas, white addidas lines also, I think you shouldeve left the mecurial bit on the back cause it makes the boot look cool.

[@OctoberFootballTV]

Very Sick!!!

[@FootballBoots]

+EmilFootball Thanks

[@NLDuTcheLiTe]

I have a question, does the blackout damage the leather?

[@calibashotzgaming]

Does this work with Superfly 4's, Hypervenom Phantom's, Magista Obra's etc. ??

[@jjtt2735]

Can you black out synthetic football/soccer boots?

[@joedifranco7028]

If you want to make a dark clear white, is there a white dye? If so, could you make a tutorial?

[@CP7FIFA]

Interesting and we'll explained video!

[@FootballBoots]

+CP7FIFA Cheers Curtis :)

[@siyarmayi825]

[@FootballBoots]

+Siyar mayi Thanks

[@Cristoferbetacore]

It works with mercurial superly

[@joshwearden9405]

I don't know why but I love the black boots

[@Kens789]

Soo I have Nike Tiempo will it work for it? worth buying ?

[@georgescott9600]

Is it worth just colouring them in with a sharpie? Or would it come off?

[@AirBabi3000]

Did you pain the insoles as well? Or bought new ones, if bought, from where?

[@darkdrakula2950]

i just get this merciual s whith black and pink soo cool

[@markolokotar3907]

You know how to pick so song, can you name it please, and great video.

[@nicholasgrima1693]

hi great video i just have a question i have my old acc vapor ix if i do this on the inside of the boot and i wear wite soccer socks will it end uo going on them thanks

[@joeycholerton3548]

Brilliant

[@JustusNichtJonas]

Will this influence the touch and feel for the ball?

[@andyangchannel]

For people who don't understand why we blackout boots. We have to if we plan to change sponsors when the contract is near expiry or we have a new model yet to be released to the world and we wear them as to see how they feel so we can tell adidas/nike/puma if we want to change our current models to the new ones. There is a purpose for everything.

[@danmcdowell1763]

If I wanted to do the soleplate as well would it work and stay on the boot as long as it would on the leather top +Football Boots

[@Ahrinoma]

Hey great video do you guys know what song you used

[@DarshanPokhrel]

Does this wear off as you play into them ?

[@FootballBoots]

+Darshan Pokhrel - Football Skills/Freestyle It may do. Depending on the original colourway, the version we did should be fine though as most of the boot was black.

[@jeffryventura243]

Sharpie also works.

[@minilegendgaming1715]

I did it was amazing

[@fayammar7346]

Cool!

[@marcoortiz545]

+Football Boots do they come off after you play on wet grass or does the dye stay

[@FootballBoots]

The dye should stay in all conditions, the gloss may wear off over time

[@diegormarco8152]

that awsome dude where do you buy ?

[@philipkuntges4984]

Does it also works with synthetic boots? (or anything else than leather?) Greets, Germany

[@Maximgwoz]

Hey guys just wondering weather this kit would work on both the new Vapour 11's and the Superfly 5 Kids boots.

[@jacksonramunni2683]

I just got a pair of adidas predator instinct and wanted to black them out, just wondering if I could since the rubber control elements might not be able to be blacked out

[@haydnsheppard8946]

Could you use a similar method to make all white?

[@Qodeer]

what kind of acids are those? (step 1 & 3). If I don't have that kind of acid, can I change that with another material? Thankyou

[@bryanvillalobos1392]

How long does it take for the blackout kit to arrive if I live in Michigan

[@tonyduggan9037]

you can do this for cheaper with a black leather dye kit,thats all this blackout thing is that costs €40 but if you bought a white leather dye kit could you do that to your boots too and make them whiteouts? maybe one black and one white?

[@xEiRExTEADDYBEAR]

can this be done with superflys IV?

[@jash8112]

Would this work on puma evospeed 1.3 dragon edition

[@NicksterCR7]

I was wondering if the black dye would work on the new white leather from the Nike mercurial vapor bone pack boots? Please answer soon because I'm thinking of ordering them sooon! :)

[@FootballBoots]

+Nicolas Budisa yes would be amazing on those. Sam's leather as on these tech Craft ones

[@NicksterCR7]

+Football Boots Ok thanks guys!

[@NicksterCR7]

+Football Boots I was wondering what boot size I should get? I have the Nike mercurial vapor x Squadron/Blue/Volt boots and their obviously not leather so should I go a half size down a size and get size 8.5 US?

[@FootballBoots]

+Nicolas Budisa stay true to size on them, leather shouldn't stretch too much, otherwise they may bee too tight to start out

[@br00k1yn4]

On the thumb nail its just the Academy pack boot next to the tech craft model

[@FootballBoots]

Ha ha, might look that way, but that it taken after doing just one coat on one boot. Looks good though doesn't it

[@br00k1yn4]

But they have different insoles +football boots

[@FootballBoots]

+Brooklyn latcham We switched them out with another pair of black Mercurial sock-liners we had for a slick visual

[@br00k1yn4]

Ok thanks for replying

[@owenbancroft6637]

+Football Boots can I buy these

[@axw1232]

can u do it to electro flare vapours or is it just leather please reply as i may do it and don't want to waste money can i have some advice

[@robinsingh-pc2qk]

What will be the best alternative for the blackouts dye as we do not get it in my state

[@jaimevargas0223]

will this work on hypervenoms or do i need a different kind of dye

[@yup643]

would these affect the performance of the boots?

[@bhargavacharya8098]

awesome!!!! .....song??

[@bob-nk2rm]

how do you dye the sole plate without it coming off because mine keeps coming off. I first tried dye then went to spray paint and both couldn't really help

[@abdoelsaeid4389]

What are the materials used for painting and types of paint?

[@PerStamgr]

What's the name of this paint and how mutch does it cost? I want to paint a pair of Victory's.

[@kristianbirtwistle5807]

Can the dye be used to dye the sole plate or do you need a boot with a black sole

[@FootballBoots]

Dye wont work on the sole at all

[@LewisWheatley]

would these work with magista orden 2's? Please answer

[@lkkafrom7089]

thanks

[@richardphan_]

what do you recommend if you are using a something other than black

[@upper9041]

Fair enough it worked well, but I don't think I will do it anytime soon!

[@davidgrace8676]

Can you blackout nike hypervenom phatols

[@AlreadyOverThere]

You should blackout those Nike superfly tech craft, the black and pink ones

[@FootballBoots]

+Ian Bud thought we might blackout the Savage Beauty

[@AlreadyOverThere]

+Football Boots that's a good idea too

[@mortenlosnedahl4432]

Is this going to affect the touch and is the ypper going to become thicker and stiffer?

[@FootballBoots]

Maybe slightly stiffer, but not a huge change

[@deborahbarbieri1649]

this is lit

[@paulcheenfx20]

Do you think i could do this with the yellow hypervenom 1? Cause i dont want to personalise them its ways to expensive thx guys

[@MaxBowles]

Can you do a black out for superfly 4 please x

[@bennettcooper8195]

Can you paint the dynamic fit collar on my hypervenoms?

[@leonardoantonio2031]

Can you add the paint to a dynamic color

[@johnsfudhi8015]

can you blackout the sole too or will it just scratch off?

[@DavidTorres-ei1om]

do you know if youre still able to send the nike boots back if they start breaking and you do this to them?

[@FootballBoots]

+David T no you can't

[@renefloresvlogs7547]

Can this work on the superfly 4 tech craft in canvas/volt colorway? Or can you not dye the leather?

[@renefloresvlogs7547]

Or can you just not use the acid? Also would this come off of the nikeskin on the boot?

[@FootballBoots]

+ReneFloresVlogs It should be okay. The leather will absorb the paint, may need an extra layer of paint though :)

[@tdt1608]

I've blackouted my Vapor X, but i can't find Nike Swoosh because i want to dye Nike swoosh in white? Do you have any advice?

[@dokki28]

Why this would be that good?

[@jo99er]

Because black boots look sick!

[@mostafa7795]

For some football academies

[@alfiebland9961]

Some football academy's or teams only allow black boots

[@thecareermodeplayer5722]

+EastSaxon Really? would u happen to know any?

[@dilzapudz8486]

+The Career Mode Player Sunderland AFC's youth academy

[@victorarreola]

I have a pair of superfly 3 ...would it work on them?

[@augustholsthansson5047]

Can you blackout Nike mercurial superfly

[@Flutzki]

will this work on the new hypervenom phinish with the phantom 1 upper

[@kingcobra8654]

Can you dye them a different colour like green or blue?

[@skyrayz.17]

Can it work on The Volt Yellow and Tech Craft/ K Leather Superfly?

[@dylanfitzpatrick1054]

Can you buy these blackout Mercurials
