Tool-inspired shoes!!

So, I bought a brand new pair of shoes recently and decided to decorate them Tool-style...I currently only have the right shoe done, but figured you all might find them interesting!

These are Converse All Star white high tops, which I colored with the regular 12 pack of rainbow sharpies :P (and oh yes, I fully utilized that rainbow of color!) I hope you like them!

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

Ugh, the weather down here today was bad, I believe the high was 103... At least it was dry...what do you mean though, good? :P

And I'm glad y'all like them!! Heh, I think I'm going to start maybe taking orders, send me your shoes sizes, huh? XD Dude from my guitar shop wants Led Zeppelin shoes :P

Erm, a question of reference: how much would you all give for shoes like that? Like, a custom pair?

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

Shit, I just wet part of it and it bleeds...not much, but it blurs out letters if they're close :/ Heh, well will certainly suggest avoiding puddles, then...

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

Lol, I noticed the last activity and I'm like, "Oh great, I'll just--ahh, shit, man *dark cloud face*"

Thank you. People are being stupid. It's like "Do you wanna buy some shoes?" "They're pretty." "Thank you, but would you buy them?" "Great art." "...."

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

So here's somewhere if you all are interested...at the moment I am looking into making a paypal? Do you have to have a credit card and all that?

www.customshoesforyou.webs.com

I know it's unoriginal, but it works.

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

Thank you. I'm "more than just a little curious" about how I'm going to accept non-local payments, from people who aren't just friends I know who want shoes...I suppose I'll figure that out if this kicks off at all.

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

The shoes are pretty cool, but then you devalued your work by asking how much people would pay you to make them a pair. Ya just gotta think, man, if you are so inspired.


P.S: I personally wouldn't buy a pair because of the quality, or... lack thereof? i.e: research and use better materials, etc.

Re: Tool-inspired shoes!!

meh, Adidas could make -maynard's screaming face slippers- and SURE would be cheap
what they don't tell ya is that black magic must be used to make them, what causes the slippers has life by their own and they tend to eat your feet while sleeping (?)
