Started customizing about 3 months ago and have sold over 15+ shoes. Wouldn’t have done it without binge watching all of these videos to learn everything!!!
I just started my custom shoe business, I’ve watched every single video of you before I really started and it helped me so much! Started 2 months ago and selled 2 awesome pairs already!
I often go to the thrift store to get bags, denim jackets, and shoes to paint and create content for my Instagram. This allows me, as you say, to create an online portfolio on a budget.
Hey Dillon, how about a studio etiquette video? Keeping organised/efficient and a cleaning up regime? A day in the life of a customiser? From a 49 year old UK customiser with too many materials all over the place lol
I'm going to sale my first pair next week. I already know the shoes, Materials, colors and all. I have in my head Air Force one's but I want to see I'd I can get some Jordan's 1 on sale or sumthang. My Theme is a Mexican Flag for a Co-worker I told him it will cost him $230!
Your style and attitude towards this culture is inspiring as hell. It brings me joy everytime I watch your videos, thus I learned a lot just by following your advices. Word is bond brother 🤘🏾
One of my many natural talents is drawing, so I decided to start customizing my shoes...I placed my order for a bunch of supplies from Angelus after watching another video of yours. I spent about $128 and now I’m seeing this video and I did good! Haha, I literally bought all those things before watching this video.
Thanks man for a inspirational and helpful video ❤️ I’m trying to start my own artwork on fabric . This is the best helpful video I have seen ! Thanks! Amazing work ❤️❤️❤️
Always wanted to get into this. Was given a pair of barely worn court vision Lows the other day and figured this was my sign to dive in. Thanks for the info!
and if really low on money- createx paint , dollar store brushes/toothpick and dollar store scotch brites and painters tape. Michaels brand flat sealer. Personally, i try and buy American as much as possible. fyi great video ! Oh , acetone for 1$.
Love the content. Trying my hand at the craft recently. My real 1st attempt to customize sneakers was a Nike Air Foamposite Pro last month. Did it with Michaels paint and paint brushes. It was a disaster! I could really use tips on how to ensure my next attempt won't suck as bad. Thanks and keep up the great work 🤙🏽.
Thank you so much!! My 14yrs old has amazing and good art! He loves to draw and color. He was thinking of starting to paint things, and this is an amazing video that I bumped into 🙌🏻 he’s going to be a good artist like you!!! Thank you so much ♥️ God is amazing and big🥰
Hey how's it going just subscribe and bought the kits of angelous with your code (just letting you know your code doesn't count towards the kits but got a lot more) so let's see where this journey takes me. During quarantine I've started a custom shirt company, a clothing brand, custom hat company, and a few other small things so let's make 2021 the year for creators!!!
Thank you for this! Really considering getting into shoe customization. But is there any other leather paint brand you could recommend? I live outside the US and the Angelus shipping would cost me 50$ 🥲
What about painting or changing the colour of something like a Shoe's Reebok logo(Which is a different material from the shoe itself) from Dark blue to light blue? Any recommendations on what to use and how to do it properly?
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear Thank you so much bro. I put everything you said on my Christmas wishlist, hopefully, I get it so I can start my sneaker customizing Journey!
I like to do basic repair.. then do the design art work im really passionate about.. i haven't seen it yet and its my passion.. iv custom masks so im going from there. Iv allot off different art supplies so dont want to spend a fortune. I tried the nail art.. i enjoyed but 10nails takes me 4,5 hours.. thats no good. I don't want to be a nail tec. I want to be a artist
I’m 14 and I really wanna make some quick money this summer and I’m thinking about doing this but the thing is that I don’t know to to draw or really paint. Any tips?
Honestly just gotta get to practicing right away, and doesn’t even need to be on shoes.. just gotta start doing art and the more you do it, the easier it’ll become
Hey thanks for your videos. I want to sell trainers and wondered how do you get the custom to sell them. Worried ill make them and have no idea how to get people to buy them especially with no followers etc
When you say "designs" are you saying create your own, or things we find off the internet? And if it's things off the internet (Google) is it allowed to use?
I can’t speak from experience unfortuantely as I haven’t done any heat transfers in the past.. but I know I’ve seen others do it. Just can’t speak to the durability
i have a question i saw those manga air force 1's on google and i think they used fineliner nit im not really sure so my question is is it possible to customaza air force 1s with a fineliner only?
I've watch everyone of your videos and they have helped me so much learning how to improve my skills and how to show my work I started my customizing journey just over 3 months ago and already done 2 pairs keep making amazing videos big respect
Hmm, I don’t have any experience working with fabric markers unfortuantely. So I’m not too sure if they bleed when wet. Otherwise you should be able to clean with any general sneaker cleaner brand
Thanks good sir!! I've always had a gift! Big hands ..well I was a master drywall finisher! Won lots of first place drawings through school. I've finished a few pairs of sneakers. But did it wrong after seeing YOUR vids. Thanks for posting I'll definitely subscribe. One day I'll be shipping in a pair for you to look over.😮
I have been watching for a good while now. I have your videos separated in a well organized RUclips file system to go back to anything I need to re-touch/re-learn again from time to time. I do customs as a side-hobby, for some little income, and I can say you've helped dive deep into videos with content that is great. Thanks bro! - From a Graphic Designer / Illustrator
I’ve sold a pair of custom vans with $.50 cents paint from Walmart, and the quality was pretty good tbh.. thought to myself I should do this as a hobby, so I’ve been watching a decent amount of videos. Yours came in clutch the most.
I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake when customizing my shoes and that I will ruin them. What can I do if I accidentally get some paint on the wrong place? And are Nike Court Borough Low 2s good for customizing? And how durable would the paint be if I customize them?
You can remove any unwanted paint with acetone which you’ll need to prep the shoes anyway. Honestyl whatever you start with is totally fine, however since those are one of Nikes cheaper models they don’t use the high quality leathers. So they won’t last as long
Thanks for the help. I am just now starting to paint. Oh shoes of mine. This is going to be the first time. Hopefully I do good and I will definitely be watching your videos for help.
Since the beginning of my business to now your videos have helped me soo much, I’d like to think I am very knowledgeable when it comes to customs but when I watch your videos I always learn something new.
Always been an artistic and creative individual also obsessed with entrepreneurship especially in selling things. Got into reselling sneakers last year. Took a break and recently got back into it but got the idea to customize at a sneaker event I went to. Been researching ever since. This video gives so much insight on not only materials, but how to create content (with examples), how to build a portfolio, and even how to get some of your first pair of shoes. All without this being a talkative or lengthy video. Thank you, got my sub
Great! Are those paints applicable to any shoe surfaces like leather, canvas, cloth? I only tried leather though, and I have to layer it over and over on top of the paint to achieve the right opaqueness, which is pretty exhausting because there is drying time before you layer a paint on top of the other or is it really how it should be done? Thanks!
I was wondering about working for free , but as u said if there is no content their will be no cilent for sure .. this is how u built a strong name for your business, thank you very much for the amazing content 🙏🏽
@dejesuscustomfootwear & @angelus creating my @jordan V ‘15 White Metallics into my beautiful #pietmondrian custom that he did for me 8 years ago. Unbelievable. Still look deadstock. If you’re looking to have a pair customized. Dillion Dejesus is the go to….. the pic of my pair came up at 3:55 in video during the BTS SHOT.
not really into it for business reasons, kinda just wanna make my own sneaker ideas reality. It's not like nike will ever make them.
Started customizing about 3 months ago and have sold over 15+ shoes. Wouldn’t have done it without binge watching all of these videos to learn everything!!!
Wooooo! That’s dope congrats keep it up!

It would really depend on the material !
bro please practice talking to the cam cause you look like you want to kiss me
What type of finisher would u recommend and what colors
My favorite is the liquid kicks matte finish!

Hey thanks for your videos. I want to sell trainers and wondered how do you get the custom to sell them. Worried ill make them and have no idea how to get people to buy them especially with no followers etc
Honestly the possibility are absolutely endless with social media, you have to start promoting yourself on Instagram and tik tok
When you say "designs" are you saying create your own, or things we find off the internet?
And if it's things off the internet (Google) is it allowed to use?
You’ll be fine doing designs from the internet as long as you’re not mass producing
This is such a helpful video!! Really feel like I underestimated on building up a portfolio so I will definitely be doing that!! Thank you!
Quick question about painting. Can you heat transfer over the acrylics?
I can’t speak from experience unfortuantely as I haven’t done any heat transfers in the past.. but I know I’ve seen others do it. Just can’t speak to the durability
Hi i want to custmize canvas shoes.. Whould you guide me which type of colors should use?
You’ll want to mix some fabric medium (2soft) into your angelus paints
bruh, I need a pair Air force 1's Chunky Dunky size 10 Mens. whats good!
Sorry brother all of our work is 1 of 1, but please feel free to shoot us any inquires to contact@dejesusinc.com

Hey how do you make the stencil stay still and flush against the swoosh if doing a bleeding swoosh reusable stencil with a brush
You actually want to use a drip stencil as a tracing guide.. check out our video called gucci drip for a full tutorial!
Hi,
Have you ever had customers bring you their own shoes to customize or do you purchase the shoes for them?
We do both! No definitive right or wrong way to do it. I just belive in making the transaction as easy as possible
thanks to ur tips, i have even expanded to customizing things other than shoes!!! TYSM!!!
How do I clean custom canvas sneakers using permanent fabric markers?
Hmm, I don’t have any experience working with fabric markers unfortuantely. So I’m not too sure if they bleed when wet. Otherwise you should be able to clean with any general sneaker cleaner brand
New subie, I have some converse shoes ( cloth ) and I want to put my son's picture on the side of them is there a way I can do this.
Yup you’ll want to use angelus paint and 2soft for working on converse!
Any tips for painting gum bottoms? Any Certain type of paint I should use?
Honestly you want to avoid ever painting bottoms, it’s going to crack really regardless
Yay I'm so scared and freaked out but excited to try this. Can u use acetone Instead of the primer?
Which primer? Have to use acetone on your surface regardless though

Hello Sir, how do u clean a customised sneakers.
Any sneaker cleaner is fine, or classic soap and water..
Great! Are those paints applicable to any shoe surfaces like leather, canvas, cloth? I only tried leather though, and I have to layer it over and over on top of the paint to achieve the right opaqueness, which is pretty exhausting because there is drying time before you layer a paint on top of the other or is it really how it should be done? Thanks!

Can you use these paints on canvas? Plus what's the best to clean inside of older shoes 👞 🤔.
Sure can! Some angelus cleaner and their scrub brush will do a great job for ya!
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear great thank you 😊. Have to check the customs , exchange rate, and delivery .
If you dont recommend using acetone on shoes you are going wear then what are you supposed to do to get the paint off?
I do always recommend acetone , I’m just saying on a pair that you repeatedly repaint apply new designs to, at some point it won’t be wearable
@@DeJesusCustomFootwear i get you now, ok thanks for that wee heads up

How to make the acrylic paint waterproof?
It is waterproof when the shoes are prepped correctly
