Looking good so far. But dont worry if these dont work out if you want the Katrinas so bad you can try getting the silver collection 3s or pure $s and try painting those, seems like it would be easier
looks like you still have the lace hole on the top and the elephant print. not sure if it would have been easier, but you could have started on the elephant print before painting the midsole.
I'll give up my (used) Sz. 10.5 to anyone who is interested in attempting this. I wore them several times, but they haven't really been in my rotationsince the midsole paint started to chip. Let me know if you are interested in taking them off my hands...
:LOL sorry guys but I plan on keeping them this way. I wasnt trying to make them like katrinas. I only did this because my sole was cracking real bad.
progress report cleaning up my spiz'ikes too before acetone (a real pain, but works) after just needs some touch ups on the lines. and now for the big job before now still got to do the lace holes and touch up the midsole lines and then decide on lightening the elephant print.
Here's a thought: wouldn't it be easier to just custom the white cement 3's? All you would have to do is just paint the black strip on the midsolered.
I don't know if you notice but cement 3s can poke a big hole in your pocket, unless you got the $$ for it by all means, but doing it on thefire red 3s seems alot faster, for one the midsole is already red, all u gotta do is paint over it and fill in the cracks and just white out the other half ofred.
Even a used pair can still cost a pretty penny and then fixing it up and adding paint and the process etc etc, can damage the sneaker more and thepaint can come off sooo easy. i think its best to do it on a new or slightly new shoe.
