Let me tell you what.
It has been a hot minute
since we have done one of these on the channel.
I'm Mira, and you're watching...
My YouTube channel.
I just, you know, had to do that with this shoe.
Anyway, we are customizing shoes today,
So I'm really excited to hop back into that.
These are target shoes.
They are, uh...
Do you see that tag?
$16.99... and you know what?!
They're under $2
when you find a $15 gift card in your purse.
So, uh.
Quite the deal, quite the deal.
Well with that being said, let's not do a super long intro.
Let's just hop into this and see what happens.
This is the before.
[Clicks tongue]
And I'll show you the after.
After, you know, we do some magic.
So let's go!
♫
All right, here are the shoes.
I think they're super cute.
Like I would wear these just as they are.
So that's nice.
Um, they look pretty comfy too. So, that's cool.
I think I'm feeling...
Strawberries perhaps.
Yeah, let's take the laces out and then...
Start coloring the shoes. [Giggles]
This is always such a fun part.
Just pulling the laces out, you know.
[Laces ping]
Not sure if I'll lace them up the same way they came.
It depends what kind of creative lacing -
[Laces ping against something off screen]
[Laughs]
I'm feeling, but yeah.
Smells like a car tire.
in case you're curious.
Guys, this is gonna be such a fun project.
We're gonna start with red.
Obviously, strawberries.
♫
So far on my channel I have custom painted
Nike air force ones, converse vans and...
Some dollar store shoes.
S o it's kind of fun to
[Posca marker rattling]
Switch things up and do target shoes.
♫
I always forget like how tedious the process
of blocking in the middle of the shoe is.
But guys, look at all these little holes
that you have to go around.
So yeah, it takes a long time. [Laughs]
Hello. Hey, what's up? Yeah.
All right. Yeah be there in a minute.
By the way question of the day for you guys,
when you are creating any sort of art,
or doing any creative activity,
do you make like weird noises
or like talk to yourself out loud?
Just curious.
'Cause like when I'm not filming,
like, sometimes I do.
I am very interested to know
what you're gonna say in the comments
because you guys have a sense of humor sometimes
and you make my day!
So yeah, I'm excited for this question.
♫
Marker explosion.
Hello, calm down. Calm down.
All right, great. Good thing it's all gonna be red anyway,
I knew that was coming.
♫
Looks good, looks good.
What about this one?
Ah, that's better.
Whoa. This gives me bowling shoes vibes.
Like, does it not?
[Laughs]
I feel like I said that in my last video too,
like bowling shoes vibes, but
No, we are doing strawberry shoes vibes.
Kind of inspired from some TikToks.
So long story short, there is this dress,
that is trending on TikTok.
Like people are so infatuated with it.
It's from a place called Lirika Matoshi.
I might be pronouncing that wrong,
but this dress guys is a whopping $490!
The strawberry midi dress.
$490
People are actually paying for this
and wearing it in TicToks.
I mean, I think that's outrageous,
but you know what, to each their own
I would never pay that kind of money
for a piece of clothing,
but anyway, yeah
So this is trending on TicTok
and people are getting uh lookalikes
from wish and other websites but yeah.
So I am gonna just credit this trend
because I am drawing with like the same color scheme.
And yeah, whatevs.
Back to the video.
Got some petal pink Angelus paint.
And that will go back there.
By the way,
if you guys want to customize your own shoes,
which I highly recommend
because it's such a fun DIY activity,
especially during this quarantine right now,
but I will link everything I'm using down below.
They will be affiliate links just being transparent.
But, yeah.
Ah this stuff is so nice.
Put it on this palette, don't judge me
but I haven't cleaned this palette in a hot minute.
♫
That looks pretty sweet so far.
Let's do this one now.
♫
All right now I need to decide
if I want this little hem here to stay white.
Which I kind of think it looks really cool white
because it pops with this stuff
or if I want to paint it pink.
But I'm afraid if I paint it pink,
it's going to be like way too much pink,
you know what I mean?
I wish y'all could live vote for me
and help me make up my mind!
♫
I think I want to leave it white.
I think it would look cuter white.
Let's paint the heels.
Just another fun ...
Cutting in.
This reminds me of like painting rooms
with my mom as a kid
because
she was like an interior designer and stuff
and painted a lot of houses, okay.
And she'd always talk about cutting in
and I remember I would like spot nails for her and stuff.
Fun times. [Laughs]
Now she works with plants and um,
I love plants.
Kind of getting valentine's vibes from this right now,
but I - [Laughs]
I am not doing a valentine's shoe. Trust me.
No!
♫
By the way, I do sell my custom shoes.
I don't really actually advertise that
but they usually go up in my shop.
We are ready to do the pattern on this one.
Oh my goodness. I'm so excited for this part.
I'm trying to figure out do I want to use
this Angelus red paint for the strawberries
or this Posca pen.
Yo, I have to show you guys something crazy.
What, what, what?
I completely forgot that I customized
a strawberry Starbucks cup.
So that's actually pretty sweet
because now it'll be like a little set.
[Giggles]
So I think i'm going to test this out
and then if I don't like it,
we'll move on, we'll move on to other things.
♫
Oh, actually I really, really like this.
It goes on so smooth over this paint!
Oh, man.
♫
All right.
If I could choose like any song to go with these shoes,
it would totally be Strawberry Swing by Coldplay.
That's actually one of my favorite songs by them.
So, I should wear these
and then go and swing at a park and listen to that song
How iconic.
Okay, that's mapped out.
Oh my goodness. I just got so excited
about these, it's just, you know coming to life.
♫
Okay strawberries colored on the front.
♫
Okay, so now we have to do all the little leaves and stuff
and it's - Ah,
This is gonna be fun.
I kind of think I want to do mint leaves
instead of like, bright green
because this combination just seems cuter
than like this combination, you know?
I don't want it to look like christmas
or valentine's day. We don't want that!
[Laughs]
♫
Aw, I like that!
Yes!
♫
Ah! Oh my goodness guys, okay.
This is the shoe so far.
all the little leaves are on the shoe and it's looking cute,
but we need seeds, so.
I'm trying to decide here.
Do I want like light yellow but kind of neon seeds?
Or do I want to do like a peachy color?
Meeeehhhh, heh heh heh.
I think i'm gonna do this peachy color.
[Posca pen rattles]
[Eccentric Laugh]
You know those random bursts of energy that hit you?
This, that was one of them, okay, yeah.
♫
By the way,
I did decide to leave the tongue of the shoe white, too.
Just because I think if I were to do more like pink
or any of these other colors,
I don't know, it just felt overpowering
and I really like the white of the platform
with the white up here and the laces.
So.
For those of you who will probably ask,
that is the answer to your question.
But I think it'll um, it'll make the top of the shoe pop.
So, let's see.
Yeah, I'm really happy I left that white.
Little shoes! [Laughs]
♫
All right, that's what we've got.
We finished our shoes.
I am like so happy with how they turned out.
I think they might be my favorite customs yet.
They're just like summery, they make me want dessert.
Yeah, anyway.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed this little hangout
and customize shoes with me sort of video.
If there's any crazy weird stuff
or just fun stuff
that you want me to customize in a video,
drop a comment and maybe it'll happen, no promises,
but I do read your comments as I said, so yeah.
Okay. Have a good day guys.
I'm...
Waving at you with my hand that is symbolizing a foot...
With a shoe.
Man, that's weird, right?
Hmm.
Bye.
