]]>Case in point: Gigi Rodgers’ amazing custom sneakers. Using used, disregarded, and thrown-away pairs of sneakers from anywhere, such as garage sales, thrift stores, and eBay, Rodgers brings these once-decrepit shoes back to life by doodling on them and making them look like the kind of shoes that you’d pay many times over what she bought them for.
The Creative Director, Social Media, Brand Manager (and sneaker enthusiast) says that it takes her around 4-9 hours to complete each shoe, depending on the design and how much work needs to be done. Considering the finished product, it’s definitely time well spent.
QUICK TIP: Beau explained to me to start with the first letter of the word in place – and then the last letter of the word on the other side. After that you just fill in the rest of the letters, which cuts down on over or under spacing. Does that make sense? And especially with the style I was using, it doesnβt matter if theyβre different sizes. It looks intentional 
If you're going to use a pen (or paint marker or acrylic marker) on a sneaker, make sure it's oil based and not water based. Water based takes longer to dry and there's a high chance that you'll smear it without realizing.β β
