agreed, the colour wouldn't be my choice but genuinely thinking about trying this, it's kind of cool

Purple was a brave choice lol You should do another round with the blue. I would like to see how that would turn out.

It really was 😅 yeah, I think I will once i try out some different fits in their current version

I did the same with a pair of new balances, I mixed both synthetic and natural dye, and dyed them for shorter period of time, washing the dye off in the middle of the process. This method produces a more subtle, “washed out” look closer to the less vibrant tones found on the Boris’s

FYI: The glue they use on shoes can melt if you put it in water that’s over 82°C.

When I did mine I used both synthetic and normal rit dye, used bricks to the shoes in the water and didn’t mix the dye into the water too much beforehand. Have a good textured finish

Do you have any pictures of it?, I was wondering about the effects of dying them with normal and synthetic dye for a greater color depth.

Great job! You convinced me. I’m doing this - I just need to decide which shoes to choose I was already thinking to potentially replace the laces, so I’m glad you’re thinking the same way. And I hope you do this again! I’d love to see your next attempt

The result looks awesome, dude! HUGE fan of anything purple. ❤️

I've only painted a prop for a short film once, but I'd try dabbing the (non-diluted) paint with a piece of cloth, dabbing most of the paint off onto paper, and then just dragging the paint across the outsole lightly for a couple passes. It's meant to give (painted) scratches to a surface more naturally and I think it'd help bring out a weathered look for anyone wanting one.

The result looks so good! I would love to see you try this out again! Maybe this time you could try to mix dyes together, like use half a bottle of blue and half a bottle of grey for a less saturated navy colour. You could also experiment with not properly mixing both dyes together, to make the dyeing process less uniform... I've been meaning to try it out on some t-shirts and have some dye laying around, but I've not mustered up the courage to do so yet haha

This is legit my favourite video of yours. Nice work dude

this video was super fun! seeing modifications on clothing in general is super cool and interesting & I would love to see an update if they are going for a second dive into dye 🎨

Antwon, I want to commend you for the ways in which you are growing the channel and diversifying your content. You always take the time to think things through, new concepts are always related to the channel's core focus and is always genuine, entertaining and informative. Not many youtubers dedicated to niche topics can say the same.

Always loved the andersson bell 1090. Boutta do this myself now, thank you for the inspiration!

I've been wanting to dye my shoes and I've been into the 11 BBS for the longest time so I really enjoyed this video! Please do more like this

Good job on the video bruv! Been doing this for a few years on the low but seems like more an more people are starting to catch on.

Looks amazing also I love these sort of videos Had my eyes glued to the screen not wanting to miss anything

This is so cool! I've really wanted some of the Bamba High sneakers for awhile. As soon as I find a similar looking shoe I'm going to try this.

Awesome video Antwon!! love the content

I'd love to see more of this!

Awesome job man, this is something that is in my style. Also for loud sneakers especially this is one, you can go deep with colors. Purple goes well with blue and red so you can splash it well if you can step out your comfort zone.

They look awesome..stoked to try it

Genuinely a really informative vidoe. Never considered dying shoes, but now I might. Maybe in green or grey.

i did a similar thing to my old airsoft boots and it turned out pretty great! if you wanna achieve the uneven dye look, i would suggest that to do it manually instead while being inconsistent on brushing the shoe with the dye

I have no desire to do this to any of my shoes, however, I found this video so interesting. Keep on doing these new ideas for videos, I really enjoy them. And as always, the editing is amazing

They are cool my guy. Good job

Great video, strongly considering trying this for myself!

Dear Ant, I noticed that thankfully you started to wear protective gloves further down the line. You should really mention that in the beginning that this bit is important when working with Rit Dye More. Love the result! I think it would look even better if using either less of the color or mixing it with black/grey to mute it the saturation. I've dyed the Salomon Speedcross 3 before using only surface dyes (you might've seen them on the DWG discord) but after using Rit Dye More on a jacket I wanted to use it on shoes at some point as well. Glad to see that it works just as well on shoes. Will probably dye a white Salomon grey with some color accent at some point.

Great video! Love Persona 5 music on the background🥰

I've got some neon orange lace lock laces on my orange & blue Nike Free Run 2 shoes & they're great! Look futuristic, feel great, and are super utilitarian.

Will be trying this now. Very nice color choice. Honestly think these look like an official-ish color. 🤯 Love it.

extremely entertaining, informative and super inspiring creatively!!!!

pretty dope. need more of that vintage/used look to make it more bbs

These look alot better than I expected

omfg I actually just yesterday stumbled on this amazing salomon collab and watched your video on it as well. Because of that I also searched for the video you promised to do back then, and after not finding that I looked for others who tried it. Sadly was unsuccessful but now I stumble upon this!

Had been thinking about that ever since I saw that post of the homemade solarised ACW Vomero 5. Great video, I'll give it a shot myself! Asics and Reebok are perfect for this imho

great work! its worth noting that angelus also do dyes for shoes, as well as having all the official Nike colours in their range. you can spot them online, they'll have red caps.

using food and plants to dye clothes is rlly good method too

Got the fresh kicks. Good job :)

Thank god that you've put a link to buy acetone on amazon 🙏🙏🙏

This is actually a super cool project

mate, those are 😍 great idea, good execution. The multiple dye process is really necessary for the more complex colors, also when doing multiple dye use lighter colors first, and feel free to use different dye times (soak duration) for different colors, it creates really nice depth. Love the video Ant! AND THOSE GG PANTS!!!! I need to know how they are on! I have added and removed the black pair from my shopping cart ten times in the last week. 🙏🙏

Ha! I dyed my hair last week. It was meant to be indigo, but turned out lavender purple too. Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more custom mods. 💜

after over a year of being inspired by this video, im finally doing it myself with some terrex voyagers and graphite dye

that looks AWESOME

They look so good

I think I’m going to give this a go with triple white huaraches… great vid as always, Ant!

Just started watching, try taking a bucket put water up to about halfway the shoe, take 2 containers that can drip the dye water, and have it do a quick drip down onto the top of the shoe/side

They looks sick 🔥

Honestly this is so good it’s got me in a creative mood, I’m wondering what else you can do? Maybe a jacket or top?

Looks cool 🔥

They came out absolutely fire Anterior, you gotta pair them with the pink ACG Deploy and the new pants you got and go full PINQWEAR

Look sick, definitely something you can wear as well. Have a pair of all white Nike Ndestrukts that I originally bought to do some Angelus painting but I couldn't think of anything to do on them. Definitely feel that they will dye nicely as the have a load of leather panels as well as a mesh side. Thinking green as Ive got plenty of purple sneakers and originally was thinking green when I got them.

Love the DIY Vids

awesome please part 2 I have been putting off doing this have bottles of dye sitting since last year 🤣

I honestly like the ombre effect at the back the most. If you did a second dye of those shoes, I'd personally try and weigh down the backs so that the toes poked out of the dye, and have that effect at both the front and the back.

For gradient is good to soak in clear water the shoes first, than dip in dye solution with less dye, take out, add dye and dip again in the darker solution

Banger man

These go hard.

You've inspired me, I'm dyeing my gray The North Face Fastpack III GTX yellow to see what happens!

Sick´ ! Was thinking doin that since that girl with the green Nb p pack posted a reel on Ig. I will definitely try ! With some grey added those purple would be insane

I think it worked. It’s a success! Keep doing more! Maybe next time to more cotton swabbing as a finishing touch.

Turned out great

came out dope

As an average Guerrilla Group enjoyer, I always ask about your opinion on new GG products. I was rewarded at the end seeing you with the future cowboy pants.

You’ve definitely got to do a video with you experimenting with different colors

You definitely gave me inspiration, just ordered a Asics Gel-Quantum 180, Asics Gel Nandi OG "White" , Asics Gel Diablo "Stone Grey" , New Balance 550 "White Grey" and a Adidas Ultraboost 4.0"White" to have a go at 😁paints I ordered are royal blue, black, charcoal, white, azure, magenta and electric green

You're about to become the king of sneaker dye! They sound great though, hope they work out well 🤩

I might try this but put the shoes in the water first then add the dye without stirring to see if that enhances the texture.

It turned out surprisingly good! You could use a plastic modelling technique called “weathering” and use oil paintings next time.

Just found your channel and binging through it, awesome vids! p.s. you look like Christian Bale's lil bro 😁

You should totally do this with some XT-6's.

Mad Respect man- the most customisation I did was repainting the stitching black and removing an ugly logo from some noname shoes

Repeated with a ‘dirty’ mix of dyes to produce a more industrial colours would be awesome. Also - BBS did do a season of ‘half dyed’ semi-submerged shoes

Great video

really nice vid ! : )

Suitably impressed by this video. I just wonder how the Asics would’ve looked in comparison to the BBS original if you used a grey dye. I’ve already swapped my standard laces on a pair of Salomon hiking books (X Ultra mid 3 Aeros) with a Quicklace pair bought on Amazon which only took 10-15mins. They’d look great on your custom dyed pair

I’ve always thought about doing something like this with some white Vans Sk8 His.

Yooo siiick!!!

Why did you not match them with your purple nemen jacket ? Did you sell it? Thanks for the video.

think ypu should try next one with such pink color as ACG jacket behind you!)

Not bad, Ant!

next time that boy shows us how to make Warhammer figures super techwear lul. love the content 👌🏼

You need to apply the dye directly onto the fabric of the shoe with either a small folded up piece of cotton or a small rounded stone and not using the bucket with dipping the whole shoe in - you got a pretty even finish. And dont use hot water , use cold water - dab on with whatever implement- dip in cold water bath wash off excess - repeat process dab on more ink- wash in cold water bath with vinegar . Some use a sponge but most sponges are not the best for this job . You can use the drag technique with folded up bits of fabric using a cotton cloth soaked in dye it comes out unreal on tops trying to create that dark stonewash tech vibe.

Nice plates

I have a pair of Ozweegos that I was considering dyeing, they have large portions of white mesh material, some beige suede elements, and they have some reflective material that I really like about them. My questions are: 1. will the reflective material still work if I put the shoes through a dyeing process similar to what Antwon did? 2. what colors would work best? As I said, they are white/beige. I was thinking about brown and dark navy/grey, but do I combine the 2 colors in 1 wash or do I put the shoes through 2 separate washes? Thanks in advance for any piece of advice

I really dig the color and the way they turned out. I may try this myself now.. EDIT: Cheeky Guerrilla Group S4-PL04 at the end? ;)

Please do! Hope it goes well for you It is indeed - should be something on them next month but they're pretty sweet

I honestly think the best way to replicate the look is too actually paint each panel by hand with dye or to possibly certain apply chemicals to the upper so that the pattern of the chemical will take the dye in whatever messy pattern it was applied in. Either way, I'm definitely gonna do this again in the future, most likely to my white acronym forces!

well...now this is making me want to do this but in two tone

Hey Antwon mate, I'm wondering - what about buying shoes half a size up and doing this process? To accommodate the shrinkage.

Would love to see this done on some low Nike AF1's.

Really cool, I think that if you used less of the dye, it would look a little more neutral and perhaps easier to wear

Time for a update on the acronym death stranding jacket how its held up with lots of wear. Also I swear that the only reason why it takes awhile for your to come out, is coming up with a opening.

All been great so far! Some features are more useful than others (e.g. sleeve hitch tabs which I never use) but there's so much to it that there's a lot to like. Would definitely recommend the J1A to people who want a 'proper' Acronym jacket

Purple? will instantly cop lol.

Another thing you can do to give this more Depth on the midsole is to do a black wash. Essentially dilute some paint and put it on a bunch then immediately whipe it off lightly making sure that the color stays in all the little nooks and crannies.

I'd love to see more DIY Antwon edition

Can you try something similar with plain T-shirts next? This stuff is fascinating.

What size was the ACG trenchcoat you bought (I ask because we're of the same height and build)?

no way i just got some bbs speed cross 5s in white yesterday with the intention to dye them... and Antwon uploads the exact video im looking for.... You the police? FBI? How do you know this? Appreciate the video

I did it a couple months ago and definitely use asatone and synthetic dye I didn’t and it could have been better
