NYAH MAYS
The Shoes were deep cleaned & the creases were removed.
The stitching and inner linning were painted with GAC 9000 & Angelus Leather Acrylic Paint.
Angelus paint + GAC 9000 GAC 9000 is a fabric medium that requires the use with a heat gun for 3-5 minutes.
These were given to me by a friend to customize because they were beat up.
He's a dancer, so there are a lot of scuffs and stains
The left shoe isn't washed, the right shoe had been washed and prepped.
Before the Magic
The nubuck was dyed with Jet Black Angelus Leather Dye
The stitching on the tongue and inner linning were painted with GAC 9000 & Angelus Acrylic Leather Paint.
The Back Tab was painted using Krylon spray adhesive & Angelus walk on black for durability.
The Bottom was painted with Angelus Walk on Paint + Scratch Resistant sealer & heat gun. The heat gun activates the properties in the scratch resistant sealer to make it "scratch resistant"
These were given to me by a friend who also dances. He wanted them to be All Black so he could dance in them
The material on these is Nubuck & very scuffed up
The Back Tab has scratches from wear.
He even managed to snap off one of the ankle tabs while gliding.
To the left is a video featuring my friend "AK"dancing in his first battle in the "Kill Or Be Killed League". He's been dancing for years and working hard on his craft. He gave me the opportunity to work on my craft by givin me some of his older shoes to customize. I didnt know he planned to wear them in this particular battle! I was extremely happy to hear that he won the battle; his first battle. Below is a close of up of the shoes he wore during his battle.
