I Try Customizing Nike Shoes First Time Viral TikTok Trend

Customizing Shoes Nike Air Force One With Paint! Sponsor: The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/nerdecrafter08211 . In this video, I try making color-changing custom shoes with paints made with solar color dust pigments. This DIY shoes are a fun craft project. Custom Nikes from a viral tiktok video were very popular and I wanted to remake them as an easy DIY, but I definitely ran into some challenges. I got the inspiration from a viral tiktok video showing color changing shoes! Shoes are such a fun clothing to paint, and I have so many ideas for ways to decorate them including sculpting. This was a fun painting project that definitely inspire me to do it again! I love making custom shoes because you can make them personal to you (I will actually wear these). This is always such a cool, creative and easy activity to do if you're bored or need to get over artist's block. You can even use this technique to upcycle some old shoes!

If you get a leather shoe clear enamel spray the colours definitely won't budge oh and also it keeps your shoes waterproof 🙂

[@orcenstilldrawz]

hey jackie, i think the pull tabs work. maybe you just need to be a little more gentle with it?

[@SherryCorra1204]

I tie my shoes every time and I have quite a collection of tennis. Lol I also have a lot of back problems like you and I have fibromyalgia as well

[@-.willow.-]

Jackie!!! You should customize your crocs! Maybe make it "drocs", crocs with dragon wings that would be awesome! ✨

[@backuppixiedust1115]

Just keep in mind, real brand-name crocs are made of a material that is really hard to customize because almost nothing sticks to it! Even fabric paint just peels off in flakes.

[@JustaBiGuy7788]

Or a crocodile so it really is a croc.

[@vickiclist7671]

[@Aunt_Slippy_Fists]

Try Angelus leather paint for the next pair of shoes. I've seen a few people use that. Also try masking tape on areas around where you are painting like the inside of the shoe and the edges on the heels, it helps with contamination.

[@CrimsonVipera]

Yes! That's what I was going to say! Never used them myself but those are the the ones Mariah Elizabeth uses for all leather or fabryce projects.

[@cassidymay2513]

Sounds like Moriah

[@Annie_Annie__]

Yeah, the lack of masking was making me jumpy, lol.

[@ZombieChomper]

I’ve also discovered that sanding gave my customization a gross texture. The Angelus deglazer was key for me and the paint adhered great

[@christinasanderford5849]

I use Angelus. It is mwah 👨‍🍳💋. My only problem with them is they don't keep enough stuff in stock. Last time I went to order the basics, half of it was sold out. 🙁 Good for them, means business is booming, just sucks to have your heart set on a design and have it pushed back. To recap, their products are awesome but don't expect to find everything in stock or a speedy delivery for that matter.

[@dreacranford]

Hi Jackie! These look great, but you could always try leather paint. It's flexible, smooth, and won't flake because it's made for shoes. And it comes in multiple colors, including white so it should mix well. My favorite brand is Angelus.

[@b_22022]

Oh my I love angules too, I use it in my own customs, hopefully Jackie can see this and watch some of there videos on how to use them. I live close enough to go to there store and they are a great brand and there employees are great people

[@christinasanderford5849]

I love Angelus. ♥️ Do they have heat changing? 🤔 I haven't seen it. Pretty sure she used what she did because of the heat changing pigments.

[@dreacranford]

@@christinasanderford5849 I don't think they have color-changing paint, but I don't see why she can't mix the color-changing powder into the white Angelus paint. It wouldn't be much different from the mod podge, except the leather paint is much smoother and thinner. The color might be a little lighter because mod podge dries clear and white would dry...white. Also she had some white color-changing powder and those would be amazing in the white leather paint. She could also use a color of leather paint that's similar to the base color of the powder. It might not work the way I am envisioning, but I still think it's definitely worth trying. And that's one thing I really love about this channel. Jackie (and Sika) are so willing to experiment and even when the project doesn't turn out the way they thought it would, they're still willing to show us. When I get some time, I will probably try the color-changing powder with leather paint myself.

[@MamaRuck79]

That’s what I was thinking also

[@kerishnefebruary8108]

I was wondering why she didn't just try leather paint

[@noraunhappy]

Might I recommend culture hustle’s Super Base as a better choice for pigment binding? It’s an acrylic binder but their products tend to work really well on all sorts of surfaces and uses. You could also try their Stick base which lets you powder coat without having to mix the pigments in

[@gostowl]

Another good one is Angelus’ leather paints. I learned of them a few years ago, coincidentally, when I saw someone who customized their shoe with color-changing paint. Try their neutral paint; it also goes on clear, so it’s perfect for adding pigments.

[@breeaunaryan9275]

Hey i also have POTS, sending good thoughts!!

[@MoeJoeDesigns]

They are so cute. You should try leather paint. I use this brand Angelus. I buy the already pigmented versions of their paint but the leather finishing paint they have is clear and would hold your pigments well. The consistency of this paint is super smooth and not gloopy. Love your videos and adorable shoes. So fun.

[@MariaC.09]

Jackie next time you could try using the air spray machine and mix the pigments with a white leather paint but first do like a pass with just white maybe it won't take as much passes and you will have a better finish

[@pandalover468]

You could try to customize some of your doubles of mini brands. For example you could take a Crayola and change it to crapola.

[@randomnerd4261]

With my experience of shoe customization, I highly recommend leather paints! The end results come out super smooth and they do work in an air brush if you dilute them a bit. My sister does shoe customization as well and she does full on detailed anime designs. She uses the same paint and it still comes out super smooth making the designs look printed. Hopefully this helps for your next shoe customization!😁

[@8bit_tiefling]

Try the Angelus leather paints in white maybe and mix the pigments in? Applying those is super easy and it goes on super smooth in my experience ❤️

[@__brandyrose9907]

I watched ten hundred paint a few different kinds of fabrics in some of his videos. He uses something called GAC 900 by Golden. He did a leather jacket and it turned out awesome!

[@PinkZebra97]

Would love to see you customize Crocs since you love them! They'd probably be really good for sculpting on.

[@Pyscho84]

I painted lots of shoes with airbrush and brush on paint. For your first time you did good. Next time try to paint a base layer of the color first then the glow.

[@natalieklein9945]

I love the angelus leather paint for customizing shoes, bags, etc. They are great and inexpensive, apply several thin layers and let each one dry for about an hour in between and top off with their varnish. Also sanding the shoes first was a great decision, it helps the paint to stick a lot better, especially on products that get handled a lot 😊👍 your pair turned out so cute, can't wait for the second pair 😍❤️

I work with restoring colour or recolouring leather and vinyl and I would recommend air brush or spray/paint gun on leather or vinyl to get a smooth result in less then 8-10 coats. I like the project very much! Right up my alley and maybe something I'll try myself!

[@xx1ittle_potatooxx837]

A recommendation for the next shoes, when you paint it tape the parts you don't want to have paint. Also for "painting" use leather paint and mix in your pigment and then add paint thinner you can airbrush this on or use a sprayer that you can get at home depot for cheap and apply in thin layers and allow to dry. 😊

[@faaeng]

Not to shabby Jackie. I would recommend next time that you pick up some Angelus leather paint and use masking tape to tape off sections as you paint. You can use an airbrush with this paint and pigments to get a smoother finish or use a brush. There is no need to sand the leather before painting, but using cotton balls/pads and rubbing alcohol to remove the protective layer so the paint adheres better is recommended (Some of the paint will come off as you remove the protective layer so don't freak out) . Don't forget to pick up a finish coat aswell to protect the paint. Happy painting.

You totally inspired me to find ways to use these same types of pigments in my epoxy resin! Thanks!! My concern with using the base meant for “fabric” is that Nike’s are usually made out of leather and also has a sealant type of coating to protect them…. So I’m not sure how long your design will last if not taking those things into consideration. Either way, I haven’t finished your video yet and might be getting ahead of myself.

[@skilly1845]

I used to paint fabric shoes with acrylic mixed with fabric medium i learned they also make a paint specific for leather. Might be worth trying that type of paint for the next set. I also recommend coating them with a show sealant to help protect it against the weather
