I GET SO MANY PEOPLE EMAILING ME ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW I DO THIS, HOW I DO THAT.

I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT THERE IS SO MUCH INTEREST IN MY WORK, AND SNEAKER CUSTOMIZATION IN GENERAL...

BUT...

PLEASE GOOGLE YOUR QUESTION FIRST.  IF YOU ASK ME A REALLY SIMPLE QUESTION, I SIMPLY WONT ANSWER IT. 

TRIAL AND ERROR IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN, AND MEANS YOU WILL DEVELOP YOUR OWN METHODS BEING DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE.   IF YOU DONT WANT TO WASTE A NEW PAIR ON YOUR FIRST TRY, USE SOME BEAT OLD SNEAKERS AND WORK THINGS OUT ON THERE.

HERES AN ANSWER TO ONE OF THE 'SIMPLE' QUESTIONS. YES, YOU NEED TO STRIP THE FACTORY FINISH OFF THE SHOE BEFORE STARTING.  YES, THATS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES, NO THERE IS NOT A SPECIAL PAINT TO SKIP THAT STEP, NO I DONT HAVE A SECRET METHOD, I REALLY DONT HAVE A SECRET METHOD... ...  .... ... ... you can see why I posted this blog entry

SNEAKER CUSTOMIZATION IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF SKILL INVOLVED, AND ALOT OF TIME.  TIME WHICH IS BETTER SPENT WORKING ON THE SHOES.
