DeJesus, I want to thank you for this very helpful video. You are a very good and patient teacher. I like that your teaching style is not rushed and you not only explain things very well, but you enunciate so that people like me can hear and understand you. I have been watching your videos and am working up the courage to paint a Baltimore Ravens themed pair of Airforce 1s for my husband for Christmas. (I am currently a 63 year old Grandmom who paints rocks for my grandson.) I will continue to watch your great videos and hopefully one day I will be able to share with you a video of shoes that I have painted, with inspiration from my new teacher, named DeJesus. I wish you well in all that you do. Sincerely, Diana
an in depth video like this was definitely needed!! awesome! as for the swoosh: i like to put my hand/finger inside the shoe and actually lift up the swoosh a little, getting under the swoosh to guarantee no spills!
THANK YOU!!! So glad to finally have some new stuff to try out. I am not a very talented artist but I definitely enjoy painting shoes. I get teased alot with how much time it takes me to prep shoes. Hahaha...it's all good for me though it has been fun even though I am not good at all with painting any objects. It doesn't matter to me though censored I just enjoy every step of the process. I am really grateful for your videos. Thank you very much
I've just recently stumbled across your videos, but I've probably watched 30 in the last 3 days and you have really inspired me to give custom shoes a shot, even if it's just for myself. You're awesome and you're videos are so educational, thank you so much!
I seriously appreciate your videos, did just junk throw away shoes to practice, but couldnt find a tape that stuck to either the sock liner or the midsole, BUT thanks to this video, itll all be here monday! i appreciate your tutorials man
Sick video! Super helpful tips that I didn’t realize I needed. The tape used on the sock liner is a game changer and I’ve seen you use it many times and have perfect results. The best customizer on UA-cam!
Very helpful! I found another EXCELLENT tape that I personally use for the sock lining with is the nexcare waterproof medical tape( light brown in color)! I’ve been using for some months and it leaves no residue and sticks for days, you should give it a try!
I love watching your videos. I'm not into customizing shoes yet because I don't have the finances and things are pretty expensive in my country. But I plan on saving so I can start. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Man I’m doing my first shoe restoration and tapeis absolutely vital. A cheap tape will allow paint to bleed through, leave residue and tear paint, so investing in good tape is worth it.
I've found some specialty tapes at the big box home repo store, like the metal duct tape that comes with a backing paper, is super thin, very strong adhesive but peels off without leaving residue, and conforms to any curve. And in electrical is a super thin rubber tape, good adhesive and super flexible. This is not regular vinyl electrical tape.
Hope that seminar was a hit,cause I'd like to hear of another one,possible closer to MD...lol..but if you have one pls let me know where I can find the info.thank you so much for the knowledge you've shared so far😜
Also a quick question if your able to answer. Are you able to use posca paint pens for shoes like will they last? Or should you only use the paint your using?
I've found your videos too be very informative. Purchased black suede Puma classics were on display model and noticed fading. Ordered Angelus black suede dye. What tape should I use in protecting all around white sole?
Hey @DeJesus, Thanks for the video, Unfortunately I was a little late to this video as I have already used the 1st tape and the adhesive residue is as bad as you mentioned. Can you please tell how to remove it. I have tried a couple of things but they are not working.
Hi. I just started with customisation on my shoes and I feel like I followed the instructions correctly but I wore one of the pairs, airforce 1s. The paint had now cracked in areas where it makes creases. How can I stop this from happening. Do you have a video on how to prevent the cracks?
It really depends what youre asking about. Heat transfer vinyl is what is commonly used on shirt application. But if youre asking what vinyl is used to paint on shoes and them remove - thats not heat transfer vinyl
Some great tips wright there brilliant video as well, personal question I'm customizing my own off white air force 1 mca blue colour and seriously I could knock myself out I left the top of my bottle of deglazer and it went on my toe box and it's noticable I'm trying to find a mixture of anjelus paint I can match upto any idea's? any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks 👍👍👍👍
Another amazing video and so many great tips thank you! By the way, any advice for me I'm new to customizing and it seems like I have a hard time getting a perfect line with the green tape between upper and midsole. I always have spots that are wavy I want to get that crisp line if possible. Thanks for all you guys do yo help us new customizers and good luck with the UA-cam award I voted for sure.
Yeah my best tip is really just making sure that you go back and apply a lot of pressure on the tape with your fingernail to really get it pressed down hard
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear Thank you so much! Really happy for you and the nim nomination for the award you deserve it no doubt. Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration have a wonderful evening,
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear By the way can you recommend someone who can make some custom tongue tags for me, please? Thanks again for all you do blessings.
To cover the soles I use the 7 inch tape paper for automotive painting. It doesn't take much tape and its cheaper than using the 3 inch wide strips to cover the whole sole
When you airbrush do you use a mixture to make your paint thinner .. if so what do you use.. or do you just fill the airbrush gun with straight Angelus paint
Could I get a video like this that’s not an AF1, J1, or dunk? I’m having a heck of a time taping performance soles (Griffey’s, Jordans 4-16, huarache, etc)
Suuup can you make a video on how to mix colora to match a certain color for example when you want to paint a character from some anime and you want to nail the colors how to mix them colors please
Can I put the green masking tape on other places like the swoosh area or toe box? Will it leave behind residue, and 2nd do you recommend the angelus “premium masking tape”
DeJesus Custom Footwear do you have any tips on doing stencils without an airbrush? And can u let me know how to do characters on shoes? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to do multiple coats or not
Prep is going to be a much larger factor in that, but some of the finishers I recommend are Angelus matte finisher, krylon matte spray, and liquid kickz

That's awesome that you're painting shoes at 63! Bet your husband loved it! (I'm a bit late to the reply I know).

as for the swoosh: i like to put my hand/finger inside the shoe and actually lift up the swoosh a little, getting under the swoosh to guarantee no spills!
Oooh that’s a great tip!
I love the videos keep them coming, I love coming back from school to relax and watch your videos

Have you thought of using a clear wax barrier just thought of possibilities for airbrushing
Yup have experiment with some.. haven’t found any that fully did the job
Yes thank you so much I wanted a in depth taping tutorial so bad
Thank You for this video! The tips you have discussed seem easy to follow and I cannot wait to apply them.
All of your videos are 🔥🔥 thanks for the game bro.

You just put me on to that Scotch 2060, imma have to try that now. I can’t ever get any tape to stick to Jordan 1 midsoles.
Man you’re gunna love it
Just scored some triple white Jordan 1 low Golf shoes at the outlet store for $98. Unreal price. Can't wait till my paint gets here
Thank u. I been looking for a good video on maskin. 🙏🏿🏆🎉🎊

I only recommend paint personally

Thank you! We’ve got the tapes linked in the description of the video, I still use these same ones
Another great video!!! I was wondering which video you mention sanding the shoes for prep work. I cant seem to find it. Thank you!
It’s called custom Air Force 1, with a pair of all whites in the thumbnail
You sir are a legend!
Damn I am so glad this is going to be in Chicago🤩 APRIL WYA?!
🤟🏽🤟🏽

Hey @DeJesus, Thanks for the video, Unfortunately I was a little late to this video as I have already used the 1st tape and the adhesive residue is as bad as you mentioned. Can you please tell how to remove it. I have tried a couple of things but they are not working.
You want a glue and residue eraser!
Thanks so much for uploading ❗️
I needed to watch this video thank you!!!
Thanks for tuning in!
Great video !
Thank you buddy
🤙🏽
can u please make a kobe tribute custom😔😔
He did already I think
He already did next month
This was rly important here right?
good work .
Thanks for watching bud!
Great video
What about unmasking, I'm having issues with paint coming off when I take the tape off.
Usually thats a prep issue since the paint isnt bonding correctly! Not typically due to the tape.
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear I'm going to have to keep experimenting then.
@@ludwingardon yup sanding is usually the step that will prevent this
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear thank you!

Great info and tips! I've always hated using the medical tape...
Is this the waterproof and the most important is how long this color will stay
As long as you prep them correctly you’re good to go!
I'd love to see how that Bape custom turned out
Can you use the green scotch tape on the shoe and the swoosh as well
Yeah absolutely!
This is so cool
Loving this video. I been having problems find a good tape for sock liners. Defo going to make a purchase thanks 👊🏿
Man I like you art work, one day I will reach out to you for a custom.
CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are the heat vinyl stick ons the seem as the ones you can put on tshirts
It really depends what youre asking about. Heat transfer vinyl is what is commonly used on shirt application. But if youre asking what vinyl is used to paint on shoes and them remove - thats not heat transfer vinyl
You are amazing, bro.
Thank you!
did you do a video on how you keep the paint from being removed or bleeding off the shoe?
Yup that’s all about your prep work! Check our video called custom Air Force 1
DeJesus Custom Footwear thank youuuuuuuu 😁😁
Can you do a tutorial of how to tape the Jordan 4s?
Thanks for the tips bro!!!!
Thanks for tuning in my dude!
I needed this
Thanks for watching!
Can you pls demonstrate how to tape Kobe 10s all stars pls
Airbrush tips?
Got one of those coming soon!
Thanks bro! This helped aLOT
Great tutorial, and thank you.
Some great tips wright there brilliant video as well, personal question I'm customizing my own off white air force 1 mca blue colour and seriously I could knock myself out I left the top of my bottle of deglazer and it went on my toe box and it's noticable I'm trying to find a mixture of anjelus paint I can match upto any idea's? any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks 👍👍👍👍
I know it’s a lot of light blue and violet then some sapphire
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear ooooooh woooow really OK I'll have to get the colours wish me luck 😂😂😂😂 thanks for the reply appreciated 👍👍👍👍
Will the gaffer tape leave residue on the leather?
Nope
Any tip for removing tape residues
Goo gone or acetone mixed with a qtip
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear I tried using acetone on the midsole but d tape residue is still on it
Acetone removes everything, it doesn’t come any stronger , so continue rubbing really hard

To cover the soles I use the 7 inch tape paper for automotive painting. It doesn't take much tape and its cheaper than using the 3 inch wide strips to cover the whole sole
That’s dope! 7 is a little big for me, 3 works great for soles and stencils
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear true it does leave a bit of extra coverage but it comes in handy when doing Tims or bigger soles
Yeah that’s awesome I dig it, there’s so many cool comparisons from automotive painting to custom kicks
Thank you for making this video. 🙏 u got a new subscriber
Everyone loves a geometric tape line
Can you do a tutorial for Bape camo ?
Yeah check it out here!

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear thank you
When you airbrush do you use a mixture to make your paint thinner .. if so what do you use.. or do you just fill the airbrush gun with straight Angelus paint
Yes you would want to use angelus 2-thin
DeJesus Custom Footwear would it be the typical 1:1 ratio? My bad for pitching into this conversation a year later lmao
DeJesus Custom Footwear nevermind!! I’m just gonna go watch your airbrush videos lol
Like Jordon bubble bee shoe!!!😁
as usually a great video
Thank you!!
Great video I was just looking for a video about this exact thing but quick question what about vans what is the best tape to use
I use same exact stuff for all pairs! I would say a lot of people do enjoy the red vinyl tape on vans though
Is the sock liner tape just the tape hockey players use on their sticks?
Could I get a video like this that’s not an AF1, J1, or dunk? I’m having a heck of a time taping performance soles (Griffey’s, Jordans 4-16, huarache, etc)
There is always that one person who missed the like button and ended up hitting the dislike button...
🤣🤣
DeJesus Custom Footwear also, if you want to do another place for a course, come to Atlanta 😀
Does angelus paint work on vans?
Yup you’ll want to mix in some 2-soft
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear Ok I'll make sure to buy some, thanks
Thanks for this video👌🏽💯
Ty
Thanks for your videos they are very cool!!. How I can seal my artwork?
Liquid kicks matte finish is my favorite!
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear thanks lot! Try to used my airbrush more often beside doing Nerf gun painting.grasias
Thank you
Why didn’t you have the blue scotch painters tape
Thanks for more tips🙏🏼
Thanks for tuning in!
My taping on my sock liner moved while I was airbrushing so I got some red/blue paint on my white sock liner, any tip to clean that up? Thanks
There’s certainly a chance you’re just gunna have to paint over it with one of those colors. But you can try acetoning it out
Suuup can you make a video on how to mix colora to match a certain color for example when you want to paint a character from some anime and you want to nail the colors how to mix them colors please
Matevž Birk great suggestion!
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear can't wait to see that great content💪
Can I put the green masking tape on other places like the swoosh area or toe box? Will it leave behind residue, and 2nd do you recommend the angelus “premium masking tape”
Oh yeah you can deifnitly use it on other places as well, yeah the red vinyl works good too
DeJesus Custom Footwear do you have any tips on doing stencils without an airbrush? And can u let me know how to do characters on shoes? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to do multiple coats or not
Dude this video helped me so much omg . Do you know of any good Facebook groups to join for sneaker customs . I’m trying to get better
What kind of finishers do you guys use or recommend/. Coats so the paint doesn’t rub off or gets scratched off
Prep is going to be a much larger factor in that, but some of the finishers I recommend are Angelus matte finisher, krylon matte spray, and liquid kickz
Wish I watched this before I started my af1s I used scotch and it left a fuck ton ton of residue , any tips to get it off
