Shoe customization is such a blast! My latest project was turning a thrifted pair of Nike Air Force 1s into Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Prowler-themed shoes. The official ones are pretty pricey and not that interesting, so it was way more fun to create a custom version.
Here’s down below a few sketches of the concept (inspired by the original ones and fanmade ones):
Working with Angelus neon paints on the leather was amazing—the colors really pop under the light, and the Air Force 1s are such a great canvas to work on. Layering the purples and greens, adding those comic-like details, and getting the vibe just right was super satisfying. There’s nothing like rocking a pair of one-of-a-kind shoes you made yourself!
Here’s down below a few pictures of the process and end result:
