haven't worn or even tried on my anni 11's yet...how do you do this so that the dye doesn't get on the white outsole?

The Snakeskin XIs are killin it. I think the darker blue compliments them really well. This has to be one of the best posts in a long time. Takes me back to the "XI forum" when people were dying the uppers of their concords.

a brand new paintbrush, a little time and a lot of patience. you could tape the border of the midsole just in case but in my experience the dye/paint ALWAYS seems to creep up under the tape anyway. only its worse because you cant see it behind the tape so when you peel off, you see the dye has already dried into your midsole! no good. just a fine tipped paint brush, a still hand and some patience oughta do it.

Look great! I'm actually happier with my pre-releases because of the blue tongue. They would look even better with these soles.Originally Posted by smzsmz

not really. i did this to my space jams too and they sort of yellow at the bottom of the shoe but the sides stay blue for the most part.

Do the soles come out evenly blue??? Can't tell on some pics because it looks evenly distributed. I definitely don't want it looking uneven, blotchy, or spotty...

This is what you want to do
1.) Mix a small 1/2 cup of 2/3 sea glow and 1/3 powder dye.
2.) Mix it together really well. The dye should dissolve into the sea glow (I usually make mines a little lumpy to get a deeper tint)
3.) Take a paint brush and carefully paint the soles. If it bleeds onto the midsole, then quickly wipe it away with a wet rag that has soap on it)
4.) Let sit for 5-10 minutes
5.) Whatever is not dissolved into the soles, just wipe away.
voila! blue tinted soles. I will be making a video tutorial sometime soon. no more yellowingI wore my Concords several times and theyve held up perfect. Ive also worn my anniversary XIs 1 time and they havent turned the slightest bit yellow. In fact, the sole is comparable to my Bred XIs
