Have you ever tried to dye a pair of shoes have you done it successfully before do you want to do it?
I've always wanted to I've always wanted to try to I've seen it online. I've never done it. Well today I
Have an all-white pair of shoes and I have some dye
So looks like we're gonna be dyeing these today and hopefully it comes out good
So stick around and see if this ends up coming out
Welcome back to the channel everyone if you are new. Hey, what's up?
My name is DJ and if you haven't already hit me on instagram as well
And you can follow me on there and hopefully see some more stuff like this and different
Attempts at customizations and different samples and PDS and whatnot
But today this is our chance to try to finally dye a pair of shoes. I've always wanted to do this and I
Can't lie. I'm pretty excited
But I'm also nervous at the same time because I have a strong feeling I'm gonna mess this one up
So let's just talk a quick quick back story. I ended up getting these for
$37.50. Yes. It says a size 10 on here, but they're actually a size 13, which is my size
So I go up walk up to the shoe. I see the size 10. I'm like 37
5000 well, let me do it and then I look and I'm like yo, these are my size
The bucks says they're my size. Let me see the tag. I check the tag. They're my size
So now the day just got that much better because now I have them in my size
It's a white sneaker and there were a little bit dirty dirty on the inside dirty on the out but it's a white shoe
so you should expect that when you get them for 37 bucks at a store, but luckily I used the rejuvenator sneaker laundry detergent and
It cleaned them up really really. Well. I can go out on Rockies right now
Nobody would even know that I had got these really used like that. They would think that I was my pair
They look really really clean. So all I did was stick them in the laundry
Let them sit out after they got done air dry and they came out real good
So now that the shoes are clean. I think it's time
To get into
Picking a color of dyeing these shoes
Maybe like a purple to blue or maybe a mine just do like to town
What colors would you guys do down below? You see my options right here?
which colors would you guys do drop a comment down below and let me know because uh, I
Guess I only got one shot at this until I mess it up and then I have to go buy another pair
So let's go ahead and get right into it. Let's stop with the shenanigans
First thing we need to do is unlace the shoe because I want to keep the laces white
And I think I want to keep the nets in the back and the midsole all that white as well
And I've seen some different methods that people have done online. So
hopefully
My method works and next thing we're gonna need is some tape. Hopefully I can do this right man. We're gonna see how this goes
So that took me long enough thought it would but I'm trying to make sure it's not messed up
So as you can see, I have it
tagged up
around
The booty and then the net and then Jimmy so not really worried about that
Also, let me walk along it anyways, and then I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about the sock liner get
Let's take out this
Insole just in case and I didn't clean these out too. So they're crispy
All right. Let's get it. Look at this big beam right here
I'm gonna put them inside here that way I don't get nothing all over the table or nothing
I got some gloves as well cuz I want my fingers to be seventeen different colors man. There is
So looking at the instructions on the packaging it looks like a very simple process
All you have to do is fill the water up in the container to the black line from there
you're gonna put the top back on the container shake it up until the powder has dissolved and
Let it sit for a couple minutes and then you have your dye. Okay?
So looking on the back you can see here are the simple instructions with this
these are the three colors that I chose kind of like a red kind of like a turquoise and a purple and
I'm gonna just go ahead and get right to it
So I honestly couldn't tell you any rhythm around to this madness that I'm doing
I'm just kind of spraying different colors in different spots
Basically, just trying to fill up all the white areas. I don't have any type of
plan for this
All I know is I put red on one toe green on the other and then I slowly just burst the route
So that's all I can really tell you
so
This is what I got. Y'all. I don't know. This is gonna be drunk or if this is gonna end up cool
It's gonna be based on the tape job and how the colors blend together
After it all dries up and everything, but I'm telling you right now
This is looking drunk
Jiminy Christmas. Okay. So yeah. Oh
No, I might be cool let's see, okay. So after you apply the dye it says
To wrap them up in plastic for six to eight hours
and rinse
So we're gonna have to let these see and it's night we can rinse them and then tomorrow
We'll see what they look like. Damn damn. Damn
Sit right here so I'm gonna let that sit for a while. I'll be back at y'all a little bit
I'm not feeling good about this wood after you let them sit. It's time to rinse the shoes out and then let them dry
Quick update the colors are starting to show a little bit more
See a little bit more variation of colors that's cool. So there look like in the center
Is coming together
Alright, we'll see what happens and they dry. I see a car they really are
alright Sean, so we're back and
They're dried up
they're looking a lot better than I thought they would and
You know last night there was all dark and just looking at rachie and I wasn't really feeling too good about it
But now this is like the cotton candy customs. That's what i'ma call them. Would you guys title this shoot?
What would you name this sneaker right here. What would this colorway be to you?
I got a little bit of red on the toe here a little bit of green on the toe here
The blue kind of all over out with the purple kind of hits on the edges and stuff. I'm feeling them
I'm really feeling them at first. I didn't think I was gonna like them, but I'm looking forward to putting these things on
So let's take the first steps. I kept the insoles white. So let's go ahead and put these in real quick. And then I
Get them laced up
Let's get these things on feet and see what they look like man these things is crazy
I didn't think this is the first one, you know
So I'm still learning but I didn't think that was gonna come out this cool. So lace these up real quick. I'll be right back
Yeah
So I like to rock my ultra boots and probably damn near every single one of my shoes
Really really loose laced and just straight chillin slip-on type vibes. That's kind of how I always Rock all my shoes
So, how do you guys rock your ultra boost? Do you'd like to tie them up real tight?
Do you like the time kind of loose what I'm not on them?
Do you like to keep them factory laced with that type of not own? Do you like to loose lay some like this?
how do you like to rock your ultra Bruce drop a comment down below and let me know but
let's get into some more detail shots of these shoes because
I'm feeling good about these. I really really am feeling good about these. So I want y'all to check these out
Let me know what y'all think about these in the comment section down below
How do you feel I did on my very first go-around what colorway do you think I should try to do next?
What type of sneaker should I do? Should I do the same shoe?
I really want to do a presto Air Force one, maybe a converse. I don't really wear converse that much maybe a ban
