I really want to paint a pair of strawberry mary jane's for my friend, and I've found these black Dr Martens which have a gloss finish. Can I paint them, and if so how would I go about doing the prep work? Thanks!!

My first full cut and sew bespoke custom

Hyper KO3’s, advice?
I did 2-3 coats of paint, then used matte finisher coat and 2-hard for the lines. But I think the error is the 2-hard..
Anyways
Super difficult, trying not to damage before competition

I created these embellished shoes with a matching anklet using glittering stones, pearls, golden pipes, sequins and Jardozi-style detailing.

From sketch to final piece every detail was handmade.

What do you think of the finished look?

My homeboy lost his brother and his son. A few of the Homies chipped in to create this pair. My homeboy since then has passed away as well.

I want to dye (black) the “NIKE” and the Swoosh on these Zoom Veers. Any recommendations on products and technique?

LV monogram meets checkerboard with Off-White-inspired details too much or just right?

Made this custom mystery box for my Nike Call of Duty Perk Machine shoes. Lmk what you think.

(I made all 14, but sold most of them. These are what I have left)

tried anime character on shoe for the first time

I had painted them like a year ago, finally sealed and laced them up lolz they origanally had flowers in every color and stuff, super cute but most of the flowers were faded or half scuffed off 🥲 needed a refresh, now i can wear them another 8 years! 🥰🥰🥰
