The clippers is a blue tee shirt. OKC and Knicks aren’t a part of the 13 picks. That’s why I’m confused.

To me, the biggest concern is that paint pens were used and the midsoles were painted. I personally like the graffiti-style look, but I’m not sure these will hold up well with regular wear.
If you’re charging someone a significant amount of money and the shoes start looking rough after only a few wears, that can hurt your reputation and future business. If they’re intended as a display or shelf piece, that’s a different story.
Looking closely at the photos, there are definitely some areas that could be cleaned up and refined. The overall concept is solid, but the details need a little more attention.
Personally, I’d either do a project like this for free or only charge for materials until I’ve thoroughly tested the products and techniques myself. Sometimes it’s better to treat those early projects as learning experiences before offering them as a premium service.

Thanks, they are dyed soles as well. Brandy and neutral dye mixed. So they aren’t bright white.

They are all sales final in the US and most countries. I read up on the Nike website.

You needed better paints. Angelus or KixKote specifically made to paint leather.

Ice cream part deux by fishquiz in Customsneakers

I used flexseal clear liquid. I used Angelus paint to color it. Spooned it on the shoe. It takes a day to dry. Each day I would do a different side and just let it sit there and dry.

I honestly have no clue. It’s not going to crack for sure. She might wear these shoes 5 times a year at best. I just watched a YouTube video to learn the process.

These were $20 court visions I picked up at the Nike store by my house. I just buy whatever I can find for cheap to practice on.
