Do you love sneakers, painting, and design? Join sneaker artist Gigi Rodgers as she shows you how to transform old, white sneakers into wearable art.

This is a class on painting leather sneakers - old and new.

It's 30-minutes where you'll learn the foundational techniques of painting your leather sneakers - so you can paint fresh kicks that don't crack or peel (not on my watch), look expensive (while keeping your bank account healthy), and separate yourself from the “Sea of Sameness” (you're mood? technicolor).

Key lessons include:

The 2-Steps That Will Make the Difference Between Shoes That Crack & Shoes That Last
(Once you do these 2-Steps, A LOT of your worries over cracking - go out the window)
The Magical Ingredient You Need to Add To Your Paint to Decrease Creasing
in the Toe Box Area
(This was a game-changing, Hogwarts magic addition to my painting arsenal)
The No Holds Barred Finisher That Reigns Supreme Amongst Professional Sneaker Artists
(This finisher is so good, if someone steps on your fresh kicks in public - you won’t even sweat it. Why? Because you know it’s scratch resistaaaaaaaaaaant!)
The Exact List of Supplies I Use for Every Custom
(Once you invest in these supplies, you’ll be set for a LONG while)

In the project for this class, you'll paint a pair of sneakers in the colors of your choice. You DO NOT need a new pair of sneakers for this project. The shoes I purchased, to make this course, were (very well used) $28 Nikes I purchased from eBay.

If you have a pair of sneakers that have been banished to the back of your closet & forgotten about, it's time for a prison break.

Whether you purchase your kicks from a thrift store or a Foot Locker, the same techniques will apply in you creating kicks that are your vibe & your creation.

You don't need to be a professional artist to paint sneakers.
You only need to know how to paint in between the lines.
If you can do that - you can paint your kicks.
