I started customizing back in 2013/14. I remember there weren’t many other customizers and very few who were willing to share their tips and secrets and it took a lot of trial and error. Happy to see there’s more customizers and ones who are knowledgeable and willing to share their knowledge! Keep up the great work!
Angelus paints are specially designed to adhere and work on leathers and shoes posca pens are not and even with proper prep work they don’t have the durability or quality of angelus paints in short don’t use them
@@Numenides yes unfortunately any kind of paint pens just won’t hold up to the constant stretching and flexing of leather like Angelus paints however angelus does sell empty paint pens you can fill up with Angelus paint if you really want to use a paint pen
Speaking from experience, Posca pens are fine if your working on a canvas shoe. I've never tried on leather but don't imagine they would be as effective.
@@mauroruiz5835 yeah but their shoes won't last. Almost every youtuber you see customize shoes with POSCA are artists who are catching onto a trend, MARKO is the only outlier. I used POSCA on my first shoes, and a lot of the design has rubbed off.
Unfortunately my very first custom I didn’t prep them, so I haven’t used them as much, but I learned from my mistakes and I’m onto my 10th custom and my customers love them and so do i
I'm grateful I stumbled across your content! I haven't started yet I actually prefer to go out and spend as much money as I can on tools for the trade. I wouldn't have pulled the trigger on this venture if it wasn't for your advice and content though! I'm looking forward creating and you got a pair with your name on 'em in your size when I do bro!
Posca pens do not have the medium qualities to be permanent on clothing. It is not a leather or fabric paint. Yes you can use them, but they will crack, fade, and peel. Unlike using paint meant for leather or fabric.
POSCA pens have their time and place as part of my art arsenal, just not on shoes for me. I’ll stick with Createx Regular and their Wicked Colors in my airbrush with Liquid Kicks to seal them off. I like the coverage and more even look the airbrush leaves compared to POSCAs.
i love #6, very TRUE. some clients gives me fake shoes to customize but I dont care if its annoriginal or fake as long as i can show them what i can do as an artist
If it’s just for an outline I think that’s the time to use it if ever… I just think they’re not good for when you’re trying to do a whole pair of shoes
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear Can you do a video on like the legal/illegal part of selling customs Im literally at the edge of starting and This is all I need reassurance on!
Thank you so much for this video and your continued work on customization. I have done a few pairs of shoes using various methods and I wish I had seen this video before I started. I would love to show u some of of my designs as they are mostly just freehand and evolve into whatever they become. I have people interested in my work, but I would appreciate some feedback on the artwork and designs. I could really use a professional opinion from someone other than friends or family possibly just being kind.
@@wildgreyz5278 thank you so much! I'm very ignorant on this subject and still learning. I've seen so many other videos of people using them in their custom shoes that I didn't know the reason against them. I appreciate you sharing some much important knowledge with me. I'm just barely starting out on my custom shoe journey and any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
How do you paint the outsoles? And how to protect it.. I tried to change the color from bare white to a blue one... I used angelus paint and painted it also with raleigh anti scratch coat. But the paint comes off after some walks.
Nope I really only do 1 of 1 work nowadays unless it’s for big brands. Sizing will always be a challenge since there’s sooooo many just from mens standard sizing alone 8-12 and all those half sizes between
Im just starting out in customizing shoes but I still don’t have a completely solid idea on how to work on materials other than leather, can u do a tutorial/tip video?
Can you tell me the best way to paint or dye the removable straps which I believe is nylon on Air Force 1 high tops. As well as can the laces be dyed and still look ok ?
I never recommend painting midsoles unfortuantely, but as far as leather deifnitly check out our video called custom Air Force 1 for a full detailed breakdown on prep
Question: I havent really done many shoe painting and doing it again for a cosplay. I bought boots that require me to paint the midsoles white, how can I tell what material the Midsole is made out of to get as much durability out of the paint as possible?
Hey I'm just now starting to learn to customize shoes when taping off my shoes I still do not get really good transition from the soul to the mid soul. I'm just wondering how do you clean up the small mistakes when the paint slightly gets on the soul? Do you use a toothpick , or are you just getting perfect results with tape
Fair assessment I’d say, even so I think posca markers have a ty recognizable look. The shoes quite literally look look like they were done by markers up close most of the time

How would I paint/prep a black midsole/leather? Want some guidance before I start.
i started with just the angelus basic kit and my moms acetone.
@Marcus Johansson rad
@Marcus Johansson I’m dead 😂
Try to use a green sponge to wash dishes to remove the paint because acetone alone won't get rid of the paint and the paint will peel off and crack:)
You really helped me out A lot...just starting out and u really give me the tools to believe I can get it done...Thanks
I wonder how you are doing?
Yea bro.. i wish you would've elaborated more on posca pen like you did everything else. Help us out g
Ik I’ve got a pack of posca pens and can I not use them as well as my angelus paints?
Angelus paints are specially designed to adhere and work on leathers and shoes posca pens are not and even with proper prep work they don’t have the durability or quality of angelus paints in short don’t use them
So this means (4 me), not even any pens r good on leather - pens r only durable on canvas - right?
@@Numenides yes unfortunately any kind of paint pens just won’t hold up to the constant stretching and flexing of leather like Angelus paints however angelus does sell empty paint pens you can fill up with Angelus paint if you really want to use a paint pen

The lone toothpick at the end😂good stuff
POSCA PENS! lol. Thanks for that tip because I was on the fence on whether I should get them or not.
So they are not good for customizing shoes right? Cuz I have seen Marko and other UA-camrs customizing shoes with POSCA pens.
@@mauroruiz5835 yeah but their shoes won't last. Almost every youtuber you see customize shoes with POSCA are artists who are catching onto a trend, MARKO is the only outlier. I used POSCA on my first shoes, and a lot of the design has rubbed off.
Posca Pens are not good to paint on leather, if you use them on Vans or other canvas its ok. But still Not durable by any meaning.
Wow more people should think about that last myth. It really is art we try and sell. The shoe just happens to be our preferred “canvas” to paint on🗣
Unfortunately my very first custom I didn’t prep them, so I haven’t used them as much, but I learned from my mistakes and I’m onto my 10th custom and my customers love them and so do i
Congrats that’s exciting to hear!

I mean I customize with paints but like I would like to try them and them throw them in the garbage can

My dude you're awesome! Your tips have helped me so much. I have 1 question..when painting a midsole what is the best way to prep and paint them?
I don’t ever recommend painting midsoles unfortunately
are you saying you don't recommend those or what. also can you make a video about posca pens
He isn't a big fan of them, he thinks they aren't durable

Thank you sensei 🙏 I’m just starting out and honestly I’ve learned so much from just ur videos keep it up 👍
Thank you for the video! Are you able to expand more on how to make coloring rubber soles durable?
Unfortuantely paint and rubber just don’t bond. So there’s nothing that I’ve discovered that will make them actually hold up to any wear tests
@@DeJesusCustomFootwearwell that sucks since I just painted my soles on my shoes I'm trying to customize today
You the plug, when my business takes off i hope to collab with the goat

Good idea
so is posca just a no go ? not even for outling something ? wanna get into custom sneakers, so just seeking information :) love ur channel btw !
If it’s just for an outline I think that’s the time to use it if ever… I just think they’re not good for when you’re trying to do a whole pair of shoes

Awesome video , as usual..!
You really succeed in breaking paint's prejudices and it is very useful !
Keep goin'💥 Big up from France !🇨🇵
That posca pens part, can you clarify please? Was that say that it’s a no go?
Yes , imo they don’t have long term durability in most applications on shoes
The posca pens has me crackin up

Big respect to you 🙏 BRO. Been able to start a side custom business just of your videos. Your videos helped alot, Thank you Bro.. 🇬🇧
I’ve probably saved all your vids they’re actually so helpful
Hahahah I just love the fact that you didn’t even bother to explain Posca Pens. It’s just a straight no go 😅😅😂
As someone who is completely ignorant on this subject I would have actually like to know why we aren't supposed to use them.
@@dazzledunn-deal1448
Hi !
Posca pens are easy to use and design with, but that’s about it. There is no real quality behind it, & it’ll crack easy

Never paint outsoles. Always going to crack
Lot of great tips man I will take this and implement it into my own work👍
U always come thru with the info🤘🏾💯
I waited 9 hours for this video
🙌🏽🙌🏽
amazing vid, as always. Love your work! Keep it going man :)
I’m just beginning and for my first project I’d just like to repaint the midsole of a pair 2014 hyperdunks that are black, red.
Would you recommend any fabric glue to apply fabric to a sneaker, if you don’t have access to a sewing machine?
I can’t say I’ve done it so I wouldn’t be speaking from experience, but I believe e600
DeJesus Custom Footwear understandable, thank you
Do you make multiple sizes of the same design? How do you deal with sizing issues? Should you only do made to order?
Nope I really only do 1 of 1 work nowadays unless it’s for big brands. Sizing will always be a challenge since there’s sooooo many just from mens standard sizing alone 8-12 and all those half sizes between
Love the shirt!
Love this video!!!
This Video is great!
Finally Someone had the courage to say about this posca pens and midsole painting.
Nice shirt
That last one is really helpful, you saved me from cheating myself👍🏿
Ur a legend and an inspiration man !!
as a shoe cleaner, that intro helped me out
Yea I need to work on my a durability because I have paint cracks or cracking at the toe on air force’s
This will become one of your biggest videos
Love the shirt man! My brothers got the same one!
Im just starting out in customizing shoes but I still don’t have a completely solid idea on how to work on materials other than leather, can u do a tutorial/tip video?

Thanks for watching !
Ein wirklich tolles Video für Beginner, genau was ist gesucht habe. ❤
Greetings from Germany (NRW 🏞🌺🐎)
do you have a video on paint bottom of shoes?
No unfortuantely we don’t recommend painting the bottoms of your shoes
Hi m Gunakshi from India i have just started painting canvas shoes i wanna know that do i need to do any prep work for them
Nope no prep needed on canvas!
Do you need different paint for bottom of sneakers/shoes?
I never recommend unfortuantely
Thanks for watching Shelby !
Can you make a video where you teach how to paint shadows on custom shoes
Why no posca even with a finisher in it? And I love the shirt bro I been waiting for it to come out!😂
Hahah thank you, I don’t think they have same durability as soemthing like angelus paint
Does anyone have any feedback on what brand paint works best for rubber soles? I’m going to try on a older pair of sneakers first.
You never wanna paint rubber unfortuantely, always going to crack.
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear Thanks
Great video man keep it up 👍
Great video as always 👍🏻
Always Fire buddy!!!
Love you bro. thanks a lot ❤️
I haven't drawn anything in years but I've always wanted to do custom shoes for myself. What would I need to get started?
What are a good prices to sell as a beginner?
So how/what do you do with midsole/soles?
I don’t work on em to be honest, so I’ll track down the right base shoe that has the perfect sole/midsole for the design
Where is that t shirt from?
I started with the primary colors and mixing to make other colors and my family and friend old shoes lol
That’s the way to go! Just gotta get started anyway anyhow
Hello! I am just curious why posca pens aren't good for customizing sneakers. Thanks.
Not made for sneakers in terms of painting the whole shoe, will crack and chip easily regardless of prep
0:27 fail
Lmao feet got soaked
Can you tell me the best way to paint or dye the removable straps which I believe is nylon on Air Force 1 high tops. As well as can the laces be dyed and still look ok ?
that shirt is fire! where did you get it?
Is it legal to customize other people's personal sneakers for profit
Yes
So you can’t paint midsoles? Just wondering
I don’t recommend
theposcabittho!!!

Depends on the type of midsole but most of the time you can scrape off the dry paint with a toothpick
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear thank you
Bless you boss 🙏
Ok, please let me know. Whenever I wear my customs. The paint always cracks, am I not supposed to wear them? (Serious issue)
Yo what would you recommend for the air jordan 2 low offwhite when trying to add to the exposed mid sole effect?
What do you recommend if I wanted to paint a cotton long sleeve fleece shirt and want it to stay soft
So we can’t paint the bottom of the outsole¿.
Nope unfortunately
Can I use rubbing alcohol instead of acetone?
No I wouldn’t
Hii, please could you suggest a good sewing machine? Currently have a Chinese shoe cobbler and it is really difficult to use as it is manual. Thanks
Unfortunately im still not experienced enough in shoemaking to give any advice there. Check out sdcustomfootwear on youtube.
Thank you appreciate it!
Wait so can we the pens or not? Because ive seen some dope designs from them.
Lotta people dig em! I personally don’t use em and don’t think they’re meant for long term durability
So I guess posca is bad if you plan to wear them but fine if unworn?
Fair assessment I’d say, even so I think posca markers have a ty recognizable look. The shoes quite literally look look like they were done by markers up close most of the time
