NZ Beats Custom Kicks

NZ Beats Custom Kicks

I have been wanting to try and design my own kicks for some time now and finally found the time to do it. These are my first attempt. Not to shabby, but my next ones will be better, I hope. For these shoes I used Seta Skrib fabric markers. They didn’t work as well as I had hoped, running out of paint and not giving the best coverage. For my next pair I have gotten some awesome Posca Uni paint markers.

How much did these bad boys cost to make you ask? Well the white shoes were $14 on sale at K-Mart and the Seta Skrib markers were $5 each on sale at Gordon Harris. Will probably buy a can of water proof spray to coat them with $6. That will be $40 for a custom pair of kicks, not to bad.
