How To Paint Vans Shoes (Easy!)

[@NorseBlade]

I really appreciate how straightforward this tutorial is. Thank you sincerely.

[@NickIby]

You're very welcome!

[@BucksMom218]

This is great! We use to do this on our converse or pro keds in the 70s. Im still a fan and love Vans too.😁

[@NickIby]

So cool!

[@Taylorrobinson1775]

Thanks for the info on keeping them clean, I’ve gone through to many designs that got ruined

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

So, there is no prepping a new fabric/canvas pair? Cool. And, the repellant spray doesn't _yellow_ the whiteness over time? New sub here about to paint her first pair

[@heatherfadden7278]

Just seen this and you are amazing !!!! I never even thought to research other artists when it comes to painting on shoes. I was home sick and saw my old white slip on classic vans and I had recently seen some customs online buying some green vans , and also went to the Beyond Van Gogh art show and I took one of the shoes and did my best version of a starry night, then because I am a bit odd and my brain is weird I thought well another famous painting on the other would be different, so I did my impressionist version of Monet’s water lilies with fabric markers. I never thought to use the water proofer so I’m glad I found this today!!! And you art is amazing beautiful and a bit intimidating !lol. Just stunning work. My next challenge for myself is to pick up a cheap pair of them fake vans from five below and attempt The Scream 😱 painting 🖼!! Hoping for the best !! :).

Thanks to you I am trying customising shoes myself. Thanks for the inspiration, should I always you acetone on shoes before customisation. Thanks.

[@Anubis_House1880]

for leather vans would you suggest using paint markers? if not what what would you suggest? thanks :)

[@mobill93]

I like the free flow of your art i find myself now adays over thinking and overthinking to the point i dont do the ar...kinda bums me out ...any tips to get over artistic blockage to be more free thinking?

[@gladysedithgalarza4426]

Hello Nick, amazing work!!!! thanks so much for sharing! I have a total black SK8 High Vans and I wanted to paint the sidestripe white, is that possible? if so, what paint should I use?? thanks a lot!!!!!!

[@rickmartin9715]

What about cracking. Will that 2soft in the base layer prevent that.

[@ryeones]

I'm a fellow customiser too! Love the video

[@NickIby]

Thanks for watching!

[@techchic9643]

Do find it’s easier to paint on canvas sneakers or leather sneakers Nick?

[@popes6305]

Hey, i want to custom my shoes but i only custom the outsole part using board marker. Which finisher tool do i have to use?

[@bbbbreaksttv]

Have you ever tried painting hey dudes qnd if you have what do u use to paint them

[@hikari8253]

Can I use regular acrylic paint? It’s paint from school so it might be cheap lol

[@moonbreezeasmr]

If I'm painting on canvas Vans, should I prime them first?

[@josephalvarez7382]

Hey bro what size did you use for the posca markers I just started customizing shoes 👟 and I would like some help From, Joseph.A

[@NickIby]

Hey man! I honestly bought a bunch in a bunch of sizes. I like the 5m and 1m

[@josephalvarez7382]

@@NickIby Thanks for the Help

[@KalelHimura]

I love it. I ask you: Is it possible to buy Vans in bulk? Or just individually??

[@TheBenitosbro]

What paint do you use if you have to paint the rubber taping on the sides (the rubber strip that joins the sole to the upper)?

[@lalhriatpuia_motivational2397]

like your videos I'm your big fans

[@subanfitness8052]

Do we absolutely need the 2-soft for painting

[@bxm2a860]

Ur great bro keep going to ur dream 🕊️🖤

[@freelyashley2874]

Can I use acrylic paint to paint the bottom? Rubber outsole? And what sealant would I use?

[@chelseawilliams4772]

Do you prep your shoes? I've heard some say that paint don't stick to cloth i jus want to make sure the paint won't crack when I do my own pair.

[@NickIby]

Personally i don’t prep my vans. I just use the paint i mentioned 🙌🏻

[@chelseawilliams4772]

@@NickIby Ok, thx

[@emilyyy3086]

Bro im inspired to try customising my own thanks for this video im your fan from PH🇵🇭

[@lancesouthwick6585]

I am not a good artist so I don’t draw reliably. I want to customize my low top Adidas shoes with a team crest. Is there a good/easy way to print out a template to scale? What type of material would you use for a template?

[@sndygskylr]

❤ your very easy and informative videos! Q: can I dip a black pair?

[@monojr5747]

For the createx does it crack over time?

Thanks for subbing!

[@nathalyalima7213]

Do you recommend mixing the paint with water?

[@alanruiz1817]

What happens if you wash them?

[@jenussayo3959]

Remove

[@roxyruiz59]

Hi. I washed my white vans and one has a yellow stain , have done everything but nothing removed it, can I use the white posco paint to make it white again?

[@isaaccortez7101]

How would you wash these shoes?

[@akinolakazeem6453]

Awesome job 👍👍

[@noorbabelli]

What about when washing the shoes how we can avoid any pain lose of fade due washing over and over

[@jionileejoelleamari5787]

If I don’t have a heat gun can I use a blow dryer?

[@datznasty1475]

You use the airbrush paint with a brush?

[@lukepowe9264]

How do you get paint of of the soles?

[@janetbarthet2111]

I can’t find those brands locally and shipping costs more than the paint! Is it just leather paint and you can use it whether the shoe is leather or canvas?

[@tokolloteekay9340]

Are they gonna crack?

[@elisaolivan6498]

What paint is good to use if you can't find those brands

[@cruzfromchi]

Thanks for sharing your technique! I bought some fabric markers a few months back and was about to use those to work on some custom slip ons for my sister, but now I will be looking for some of that paint and medium you used. The pair you painted in this video came out so good that I just know using what I have will NOT turn out looking good at all 😂. Where do you get the paint and medium from? Definitely subscribed to your channel to check out more of your work! ✌🏼

[@brucemyers9437]

How much does the paint and material cost will acrylic paint work

[@AAMAX]

Thank you ❤️

[@M_k-zi3tn]

Can they be washed after this?

[@jmurphy2219]

for the suade, do you use a suade brush between coats for the knapp?

[@chologaming2887]

Ouuffff you may wanna do a lot of research when it comes to suede lol, that's one of the hardest things to paint, clean, etc

[@AliAli-nr7ne]

AMID UNBOXING does some good video aswell

[@contessiahudson2435]

U could seal em with beeswax too

[@alexnance4954]

What tape do you use?

[@bogdanairinapatranjan6372]

yasssss

[@suhail9001]

do you not use acetone on the shoes before painting like you do with normal leather shoes

[@chologaming2887]

Acetone is used for leather yes, if it's canvas or soft material like sock liner (inside of most shoes) you don't need acetone

[@7410bella]

what type of tape is that?

[@pettyandrade9053]

I need help with my van's I'm trying to paint my van's with a Grinch theme colors
