@@NickIby How much does this type of paint stick to the shoes? I feel like it would wear off from wear and tear too fast. Let me know man, and btw great work.

Hey man. For my main job I'm at sea, but when I do return home I want to make a little extra money. Can you tell me how much you charge for a custom pair? I tried looking it up but some designers I know sold out so there was no price indication
After watching these videos, I just customized my hand-me-down wall white Nike Air Force 1 pair of shoes. It was pretty fun and I followed the steps and used regular acrylic paint
Nice brother…. New subscriber here. 30 yrs in my trade, business owner and was very successful. Had a botched surgery and now I cannot continue to run my business and work so I’ve been looking for something to do with my time. And I’ve always been a shoe guy, wanting my own style by way of customizing my jeans and shirts. So this is super cool! I appreciate your talent and you posting this video. Blessings sent to you and yours my new friend. Blessings for a prosperous future ahead filled with an abundance of happiness and prosperity 💯🤟🏼
Awesome video! Thanks for letting us get some ninja tricks for customizing. I got so many questions haha. Like what paint could I use if I can’t get hold on Angelus paint? And what do you recommend to use if I want to have thin lines? You use thin brush or special pen?
Shoe looks great...... but it’s all about the prep work it could look 10 times better if a little extra time was put towards the taping. Besides that, shoe looks cool!
Definitely digging the way he moves. The way that he detailed all the details about what the next step will be is very informative and interesting to hear. I will definitely be searching for all his videos. Good job Fam...🤙🏾
The thing going on your fingers isn't paint from the shoe its just that acetone is very drying to the skin so that happens. Talking from experience of doing gel nails 😊
I gotta get a summer job and I decided I'm gonna start customizing air force 1's on the side. I've always liked to do art but shoes.... that's another level.
Bro thank you For helping little dudes like me with a way to make income . Im disabled left arm paralyzed and right arm had bad ligament damaged only less than half use , so long as i dont have to lift or rest it between brushing or spraying 🦾. I was a pedestrian 🚶 hit by a man that had been drinkng . I salute you for your detailed input God Bless all 🫡
I just placed my order!!! I’m super excited! I’ve wanted to start customizing shoes for a while but I was never sure what paint to go with, so this helped a ton!!
Loved your video! I'm an abstract artist & sometimes for splatter I will use a toothbrush. Just put paint on the toothbrush & run your thumb across the bristles. It produces a fine mist of splatter. . ❤️❤️
Started customizing shoes and dowloaded this vid for latter. Never thought that he would end up becoming one of my favorites. Keep up the good work man!!!
yooo im so thankful for this cuz im 16 tryna figure out what to do wit in the future and seen as tho im kinda good at making art i can turn that to shoes and start lil buissness thank u for the content
remember. if you want to be an artist, do your degree in business, minor in art. far too many artists out there that dont know how to sell their shit, and ultimately never make use of their art degrees.
on top of peeling that was satisfying; watching the pure white stand out was also satisfying I wonder if letting the customer peel off the tape would be satisfying kudos on the magic trick with the laces
@@z.u_mani7084 Paint over the edge of the tape with the color already on whatever you're painting. After that coat dries, apply your new color. Peel away the tape, and You should have crisp, clean paint lines and not wobbly, ugly ones.
@@z.u_mani7084 If you look closely when hes removing tape from the nike symbol for a example, you can notice they're paint that has gotten onto it. With that method, it's a way to avoid it.
Start off small. 1 pair, few paint, easy design. Sell with profit, repeat process, buy 2 pairs with the profits, buy more paints, … that’s how you grow. Maybe even expand beyond just shoes to different media like handbags. I started with a bikehelmet for my son, his friend also wanted a customized helmet, then i did one for my daughter. Parents at the school now approach me for customized helmets for their children and they spread the word to other people.
Thank you so much, I was just about to start but I never realized everything I had to do to make sure they came out well, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate what you have given us and you earned my like and sub!
Hello. I appreciate this video. Very informative and the portion where you’re tapping up the sneakers had me cracking up. Very funny. Well done. Usually I see tutorials on Instagram but they’re done in warp speed. I can’t learn anything from that. Although this video is a year old I hope you will respond to a few questions I have. First question: The Matte Acrylic Finisher, how would I apply that to the finished work? I will be trying to customize an all white AF1 soon. Want to know all I can know before I spend a $100. Don’t want to be throwing money away now. Second question: What is your recommendation (tools and paint to use) on going about painting the outsole and midsole? I’m not a fan of white bottoms. Third question: What is your recommendation (tools and paint) on going about painting the inside of the shoe and tongue? Fourth and last question: when you leave the sneaker to dry what is the time period that is best to leave the sneakers drying and if (I don’t have the time as you stated you did and want to dry them quicker) what would be the best practice for that? Again, I appreciate this video. Informative and entertaining. Especially the tapping portion. Hilarious.
I never comment on YT videos but omg thanks. You're hilarious. At this point I've watched IDK how many vids to get ready for my first pair and this has me cracking up. Literally laughing out loud, no chuckle lmbo
In my opinion the best way to do the paint splatter is by using your finger to push the brush forward. U basically just grab the paint brush with your index finger and pull back on the brush, it gives a really nice splatter look.
@@inesbelhemici8583 i did the same and i noticed the paint kept coming off when i took them off 🤦🏾🤦🏾im doing it the right way this time i have some money put to the side to invest in this now
I mostly enjoyed your video, moreso than the shoe art. Lots of clever touches, like the instand lacing, the disappearing boxes and the progressive face taping and fun facial expressions. All in all a nine on a scale of one to ten.
Thank you buddy I'm not an artist but I watch your video and I customize my own joker Air Force ones because I got a lot of joker outfits and I did a great job thanks man
Hey 👋🏼 Nick ~ There’s nothing better than AF-1’s with the “Iby” touch 🤗 😂😂😂 This was an awesome video, as per usual ~😂😂 the painters tape part was hilarious 😆 (I do love me some “painters tape”) Stay safe, my friend 🙏🏼
I’m so glad I found this video .. I was kinda contemplating on how I should go about customising a pair and what I would need .. This definitely helps.. Question though.. If you used spray paint and acrylic markers would you still use the same finisher ?
The most difficult part is to cut a tape by using blade, while using it there are high chance to scratching or cutting of shoes rubber or a leather through blade.
When do you apply the finisher ? Immediately after paint or you leave the paint for like 24 hours in order to get dry and afterwards you apply the finisher?
Air Force One's have been around for decades. They are the Legends of the sneaker wolrd!!! And I wold never pay $95 for a pair of plain white AF's. Good thing they are much cheaper here in NYC.
Just imagine retiring as a registered nurse, using all your income/salary to pay rent and tax without any good investment or means of extra cash, tending to leave your profession/job that has been part of you for many years with no good funds. How will you cope?
That's why we need to plan ourselves via making extras in all we do because depending on paycheck that can give us our comfort and peace till we die is not guaranteed
I'm a nurse and I saw all this coming, so l've planned myself so I engaged in forex trading, little I know about the business though but so far so good, Forex trading has been my very means of savings lately while my salary goes for bills and utilities
I've heard a lot complaining about how unsafe crypto and Forex trading is but honestly speaking, if you don't experience you won't know, I've seen the bad and the good part of Forex trading
Investing in stocks and Crypto market is the best financial decision anyone can make but the crypto market is much more better than anything else at the moment
The stock market and crypto has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payout, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.
This is probably too late but if you need the paint to last longer/be more durable you want to use leather acrylic paint as apposed to just plain acrylic paint. The regular paint isn't as flexible and will crack when walking. But if you just want to practice and the shoes won't be worn at all or much, go for the stuff you can get at Walmart. Pay attention to whether the paint is matte or glossy. I definitely suggest just getting the Angelus paint online if at all possible.
Great question! You can use a toothpick to try and chip at dried paint. That usually works pretty well but it can damage the leather. Alternatively, you can use the cotton things that you put in your ear and dip them in acetone. When you rub the acetone on the paint it will be removed. Acetone in general is a great tool to get rid of paint. However any paint that gets on the sock liner or stitching can’t be removed (for the most part). You can try bleaching them or painting them white, but bleach is very unpredictable and the white paint won’t be the same color as the leather. Hope this helped.

The white on your fingers is actually due to the acetone dehydrating your skin!
That's right! You have to wear gloves for this step.

This was the perfect video because I was just talking to my mom about customizing my AF1’s

Best shoes to test on are Court vision nike's look just like air force 1's besides the string tac
um they are more expensive they are $100 lol 😂😂😂
Same
Same here
Would you guys say it took the crease if any out
Why don't u have 1 mil subs? I love this guys energy!
The thing going on your fingers isn't paint from the shoe its just that acetone is very drying to the skin so that happens. Talking from experience of doing gel nails 😊
I’m also a customized and the amount of times I’ve tipped over the acetone bottle on my hands they’re drier than the desert

When do you apply the finisher ? Immediately after paint or you leave the paint for like 24 hours in order to get dry and afterwards you apply the finisher?
Afterwards otherwise paint and Finisher will mix cause the paint is still wet

This is probably too late but if you need the paint to last longer/be more durable you want to use leather acrylic paint as apposed to just plain acrylic paint. The regular paint isn't as flexible and will crack when walking. But if you just want to practice and the shoes won't be worn at all or much, go for the stuff you can get at Walmart. Pay attention to whether the paint is matte or glossy. I definitely suggest just getting the Angelus paint online if at all possible.

Would you usually go back and paint white over the sections of painters tape that bled through? Or do you have a technique to remove the small bleeds?
Great question! You can use a toothpick to try and chip at dried paint. That usually works pretty well but it can damage the leather. Alternatively, you can use the cotton things that you put in your ear and dip them in acetone. When you rub the acetone on the paint it will be removed. Acetone in general is a great tool to get rid of paint. However any paint that gets on the sock liner or stitching can’t be removed (for the most part). You can try bleaching them or painting them white, but bleach is very unpredictable and the white paint won’t be the same color as the leather. Hope this helped.
