Dillon, I just wanna thank you so much for all the time you take to teach customizers of all ages how to paint sneakers. If it weren't for you I probably wouldn't even have gotten into customizing. I just started last month and have already completed 2 pairs. Again thanks, bro. Great vid.

I appreciate that! Your words mean a lot to us

You truly are a blessing to this community and culture. I’m so excited to launch my restoration and customization business and your information is priceless. There’s not many like you who are so willing to share the secrets of the trade.

Ten months ago my second baby was born. He was a bit weird and liked to sleep only on me. Period. Day/night. I ended up staying up every night for 2 months and getting short naps during the day. Somehow one of your videos came up in KZread suggestions when I was bringing on KZread/Netflix while holding him for hours. I kept watching and watching your stuff. After he finally agreed to sleep in Snoo I got some paint, acetone, trial pair of Tieks and some other basic stuff for customs. Although I'm going back to school and my hobby will be put on hold I want to thank you for about 25 pairs I did and enjoyed every minute of it. I was HOOKED! my husband said it wasn't a hobby, it was an addiction:) I even have a waiting list that I'm sure I won't touch for a long time. The only thing that gave me an idea and inspiration was your channel! What you do is amazing. This 30yo had her first serious addictive hobby and it was awesome!!! Hopefully, will still be awesome after school. For now, I'll just be rocking a "Toothpick gang" T-shirt.

So interesting seeing what other customisers use !!

i been restoring sneakers a little over 10 years and did a few pairs of customs for pro players but nothing to your extent but since i been watching you the last year i started taking on more custom orders challenging myself and trust me when i say no way possible i would be where i am in this stage without ya help and videos i watch them daily i even started binge watching i started from the first and worked my way up lol thank you for all you do

Idk if it will end up just being another trend that I get ALL into for a little while and then it dies, but as of right now, I'm definitely ALL in to Customizing shoes. I literally can't stop watching videos about it, it's crazy. Only time will tell if I finally found something that will stick....or if it will just end up in the other pile of trends that I was ALL into for a period of time lol. Only reason I even stumbled upon this is because I was looking for things to be passionate about. People always say to follow your passion, do what you love/like, etc, etc.....but its hard when you have no idea what you like or are passionate about. If someone was locked in a room, didn't have anything or anyone, and no access to the outside world.....what good would advice like that do?? Absolutely none! You can't tell someone to do what they love or do what they are passionate about, if they themselves don't even know! That's ultimately the predicament I'm in. Anyways, I started buying a lot of cheap shoes, then I started getting interested into signature shoes, holiday themed shoes, customizing shoes, making shoes, etc. See the trend here?? Shoes! As weird as it seems, I think I may have finally found a passion......with shoes of all things!! As I said before tho, only time will tell. But if so, its just crazy that it took me 30 years to finally find it!!

Thank you for sharing everything!! So, I got a Cricut cutter (I’m obsessed) and I’ve been using HTV on some projects. I like using it on shoes. I’m finding it really hard to figure out what to use to seal and finish HTV on a shoe. Leather and canvas. I’m doing a lot of VANS for friends. AF1s for my kiddos. What do you use to ensure that HTV doesn’t lift over time. Also, what is the best way to prep shoes for HTV? Thanks in advance and thank you so much for sharing all your tips and tricks.

Great video! As far as I can tell the green tape in MN is called Turtle tape. This is probably a stupid question, but after everything, do you need to add weather-proofing to the shoes? In this state, there can be rain or sleet or snow or hail and in October, it could all be in the same day!

I have gleaned great information from your videos while trying to paint shoes that must be black for work. The only ones that work for me are not made anymore and I have to buy them used and repaint. Skechers 2.0 (women's) rocker style shoe has a marshmallowy type mid-sole between a hard midsole under the top of the shoe and the sole which is stiff. The compressible midsole cracks when used after painting. Following your directions has worked really well so I need help on painting that part to keep it black. You are so knowledgeable and excellent- just had to try for the best expert help. Please let me know your advice. Thanks!
