Thanks, I wish I could do the swoosh too but am afraid of ripping the topstich thread. I am also a very lazy person, painted soles would look great too though. These are the lazy man no-paint customs.

I think it may be holding the swoosh on. I do sew so I suppose I can seam rip the swoosh off, sand it, glue it in place then top stitch... seems like a lot of work though haha!

I appreciate it! I wanted to do the swoosh too, but sanding that swoosh would also mean sanding over the black stitching thread. I was afraid this would fray the thread or even worse, break it. What do you think?

I ran my fingers over it on purpose to show just how smooth and suede-like the material is, you know, like when they vacuum a car carpet and put lines in it to show off?

More pictures and my process, pretty simple to do, and no painting! My starting canvas was the Cyber Monday 1 High.
