How much would you charge to do a custom on a discontinued shoe? I'm still debating on whether or not I should charge close to 1k or more just due to the fact that the shoes I have purchased to sell don't exist anywhere anymore.

@@daniellona9472 I did think about that. They aren't much, however there's a certain color scheme to them that the company refuses to make. They won't even create more of the shoe and I know if I color them right people would want it. I don't want to overly charge, but I know if I under sell them I'll never get an opportunity to sell them again so it's so hard to decide on a middle ground number. Part of me wants to just put them up for auction and see what I can get for them.

​@DeJesusCustomFootwear how much you charge to paint Jordan 11 soles if i have them shipped to you?

2:11 "So our third point is gonna be about..." Me: "Paint?" "Opening more doors." Me: "Oh."

Just discovered your channel today I loved the advice! I’ve been doing customs for a few years now. I charged a friend $80 for some custom sketchers and she wanted to lowball me for the cost, and agreed to $60. I was actually choked bc I thought $80 was modest. I charge at least $100-$200 which I felt is good but this is more of a hobby than making it into a career. Appreciate the video! Cheers from Canada!

Tbh, if i was ur friend and ur shoes were amazing I’d pay 80. But I don’t mean to be rude or anything towards your friend!

What's funny is that I was explaining this same concept of pricing to my 13 year old because he's got an artist flair and had I known at his age what I know now I definitely would've been an established artist myself. I wrote down time, materials and self worth as a few things to factor into pricing. I just wanted to point out the potential in his craft. Great video and I'm glad I found this channel 💯

That was the fastest line up ever. Went from homeless to steal ya girl during the intro.

Your videos are AWESOME bro! I watch them every day, multiple times. You are the ONLY guy that goes into EXACTLY how to do things, and when you released the video of what your customs were like when you started was one of the most influential, motivating videos I've watched. And I enjoy motivational videos! I just want to shout out to you how I appreciate you and what you do buddy! Please keep it up!! You're the reason I keep going with this art!

Thank you for adding all the thing that you use

Thank you so much I have been struggling with the pricing part. I most definitely have the custom creating part. Just didn’t know where to exactly start my pricing. So this helped so much thank you. If you have any tips on how to open more doors (where to get customs seen and etc) that would help too.

Woot! Thx 😎 - Honestly if I never painted on a shoe, i’d think anything over 40$ is expensive. But that’s because it “looks” easy. Just like when someone draws an art piece or paints a room - others who never did it will judge. How I observed the response from talking to people so far is, like you say - practice and give yourself a rate. Don’t rip yourself off but don’t rip others off if your work and rep can’t back it up 😎😂

My main problem is that i price upfront, and because i do so many different things and different designs, it is hard to guage.
