Step 1: Pick out Your Logo

Okay You now need to find a logo that you would like on the side of your shoe. I chose the famous Gears of War logo. You can choose whatever you want though, it would probly be best if it was circle form though.

Sweet! I wore Chucks for years, and wish I'd had the sense to do this to the logo. Looks awesome, and the clearcoat is a smart touch.

My sister got bored of her white Chucks, so I bought her a load of fabric paints and she went crazy with a mural (she's a pretty good artist). They lasted surprisingly long, too. I wouldn't do this with mine though, I have brown ones with a suede patch.

yeah i wanna buy some white one and draw on them, but you cant really clear coat the whole thing. But i donno. I may find another way to make em last.

Actually they had this promotion outside of the store where i bought my converse. They would paint your chucks for free. It was a long time ago, but I think they were using regular fabric paint that you use a brush with. The design lasted until I outgrew my shoes without fading too much. It lasted even when I fell in a lake (don't ask its a long story).

hahacool. What was your design? Any by saying don't ask, you know I have to ask. Haha
Chanmachine in reply to beauwalker23Oct 12, 2008. 6:59 PM
haha my design was my name in graffiti writing. Uh I don't really remember all that well how I fell in the lake, but I was balancing on some algae covered cement on the edge of the lake trying to unsnag my fishing line and I slipped in. That lake was really foul and disgusting too, it was not a good experience.
