As per request of Patrick, and also because I want to show them off, here are the shoes I designed and “made” for class.
A detail shot.Wow, shoes!

I would like to wear them, but since I dyed them with ink (they were originally all white) and drew on them with marker, I think the sweat from my feet would make the color bleed, and then I would be sad. Is there anything I could treat them with so that won’t happen?

    DAYUM! I think they will bleed. To do it right you probably would have to dye the canvas then make the shoe, but I think you should definitely look into getting a way to mass produce these, I’d definitely buy a pair!

    I’m not a fan of the shoes themselves (although these are nice because there’s so little stitching), but I like the drawings on them. Nice work!

    I know in the sneaker world there’s a big community for exclusive and hand-drawn/decorated/tagged shoes. Have you seen any examples before?
