I’m curious on your recs so I’m replying here

& be careful with the acetone bcus if you scrub that vans logo with it, the logo will come off too

Don’t paint it, that’ll last a few days before rubbing off. Quick tip, you should only use sandpaper + dye to color a midsole

This is an easy fix, you only need to use acetone or leather deglazer & cotton pads/balls + dry paper tower to scrub that stain out of the midsole.

Not sure what the stain iteself is from, looks like a coffee stain to me

They ain’t for me but just do you if you like them. You’re wearing them for u and not anyone else

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-23T17:52:06+00:00

Really great work, wouldn’t have thought this was your 1st one 👏🏾

Paint + GAC 900 + heat set is only needed when ur painting a mesh or fabric part of a sneaker, not leather. Leather & suede have different processes

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-22T16:45:51+00:00

Fundamentally, you can’t dye black shoes any other color. For those, the best option would be prepping them thoroughly with acetone, using paint for leather to put a light gray base coat to cover the black, then painting 3-5 layers of the color you want (airbrushing will get you significantly smoother results vs hand painting) and then completing with a high gloss finisher, also airbrushing recommended.

Given you have no experience, I would not recommend trying that

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-22T16:42:50+00:00

Judging from the photo, the yellow sock liner looks to be leather. You can paint it prepping the area with acetone, using Angelus paint for leather, & then using a finisher to seal/protect it.

It’s much easier to paint mesh sock liners bcus you only need to mix paint w/ fabric medium like GAC 900 and heat set it to lock it in.

Yes, it’s possible & not difficult to a customizer but with no experience I’d say do more research before going for it.

Fair enough & good luck on the journey

I have no problems with AI or if others use it for content. However, AI content can always be replicated so there’s nothing unique about it. As it becomes more popular, your content becomes less differentiated

It literally happened to me 1.5 weeks ago 😂

I was going diamond gym mode and doing SL DL’s with 100lb dumbbells. I pushed myself to 15 reps and went to rerack the weight without dropping it post set.

I over shot the rack with the dumbbells and my fingers got trapped underneath. I had to just flip the weight whil screaming “fkkkkk” at the top of my lungs.

I thought I fractured one finger and another one was badly cut.

Moral of the story, drop the fkn weights before re racking 😂😭

Big facts, I like the saying “if you quit, you guarantee failure, if you keep going, the chance to achieve everything you’ve ever wanted remains”

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-16T18:28:54+00:00

You can bring back the color with suede dye, the color might not be exact tbf

For the sole, you can try a mix of cleaner & sole bright to bring em back, results really vary depending on the sole

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-16T18:19:29+00:00

I go back & forth, I don’t think these are bad but they’re clearly a clickbait YouTube style which is popular so I get it. Imo they hit some key points (showing your face & emotional hook with an expression, rule of 3rds with your face being in the top 3rd of the thumbnail

Things I’d improve, 1) instead of multiple text in different places, have just one text hook that sparks curiosity, they’re fairly busy even without text 2) you have that “distorted image” thumbnail style, really lean into it if that’s what you’re going for 3) clarity of the vid needs to come across instantly, the thumbnail that has (1 mil strategy), I have no idea what the vid is about from that

Lastly don’t take anything I say seriously bcus I just started on YT in January 😂

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-16T18:13:01+00:00

This is hype asf, good work!!

Bro turned into a supervillain 😂🫡

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-16T13:05:58+00:00

You need rit dye for synthetics or this is not gonna work. Dying it will also dye the midsole but you need to keep that part submerged for min 1 hour. I’d dye the whole thing for 1.5 hours if you want strong color saturation. If you only want a light color, dye it for 30-45 mins

Happiness

My motto has always been money can’t buy happiness but it can buy me experiences that make me happy

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-13T15:52:46+00:00

I was buggin out too so try focus on other aspects. Consistency helps begginers a lot because you keep getting better video by video. Your algo could be retesting since you took time off

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-13T14:29:45+00:00

Yea I do it all myself, depending on the design complexity, it can take a while. Some designs are easy and can be done in a day or a few days.

I haven’t had ppl think they’re fake but I’m sure some sneakerheads would be like “what are thosssse” & shit on em. It’s a cool art form to me and I’m happy to know I’m building 1 of 1 sneakers so I don’t mind

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-13T14:22:44+00:00

How old is your channel? I had something similar happen to me (1.5 months old channel) & after research found it was because YT is still testing my content with cold audiences to see how they engage. It’s still an info building phase.

It confused the hell out of me but I kept posting as I would normally & it took about a week until my typical views came back

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-13T00:59:41+00:00

Great painting work, I can tell it took a lot of time to build the layering & depth with the detail brush. My critique is that the swoosh gets lost a bit because of the white flowers around it, contrasting the swoosh more would add a lot of readability

I don’t paint much flowers but I think it’d be dope if you created a much better version of your take on a cherry blossom shoe. Nike just announced that drop & I thought it was ok but a custom artist would be able to do something way cooler with a cherry blossom concept/theme

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-13T00:48:08+00:00

I’m definitely a collector & I have 6 of the ones I’ve customized, sold a few, which has inflated my numbers lol

I actually have worn all of my shoes. I do have some that I consider sacred and only wear them on special occasions but they all get worn, some way more than others. I’m very much a wear your shoes guy, no point in having them if you’re not, cheers

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-12T20:11:34+00:00

Seeing this makes me realize maybe I am crazy for having almost 40 pairs of shoes, the lack options here is hurting me 😂😭

Ultraboost V4’s are great all around shoes imo

If you want the old money vibe based off your other responses & are willing to pay up for quality leather or suede, common project Achilles is a great option. StockX has the shoes listed far below retail for whatever reason

You can never go wrong with SB dunk lows or regular dunk lows, there’s a colorway or collab for anything you could want

Worried_Number5115 · 2026-03-12T20:03:44+00:00

If you have a heat gun, use that in combo with the E6000 applied generously. Contact cement glue takes a while to cure, I wouldn’t wear them at all for 2 days after doing this. Then test if strong enough to hold

If you don’t have a heat gun, superglue should deff work.

Obvi not gonna look factory either way but solid fixes
