Painted My Shoes

Painted my ancient but super comfy Nike Poggio 4 Ul shoes today. Very happy with the results using Angelus leather acrylic paints. 

My recently purchased Carbonda 505 is in the LBS being assembled and I thought the shoe colour scheme will compliment the chameleon paint job.

Marcus, nice paint job!  How did you prep the shoes? Just a thorough cleanup or anything special?

Thank you:-) To prep them I just gave them a thorough wipe down with nail Polish remover to remove the existing lacquer. I finished off the paint with a leather satin finisher.

the "before" is the second picture, and the "after" is the first picture?  Should go good with the bike!

Apologies. Got the pics the wrong way round:-) 

The finished article.

What kind of paint do you need for the shoes?
