Great video. Thank you. I have experimented using THREE OPTIONS. Option A. Clean sole with acetone, next apply dye ONLY. Option B. Clean sole with acetone,next apply paint ONLY. Option C. Clean sole with acetone, apply dye, allow to dry then apply paint. ALL are GREAT options and ALL come out awesome. Option C, of course is longer lasting but ALL eventually require touchups. You won't go wrong either way. Keep in mind that dye is FLEXIBLE, while paint IS NOT, as such paint will CRACK.
I love your voice and your intonation. I'm french but not bilingual and I can pratically understand everything you're saying. It's so smooth and relaxing 😊
Very good decision. Blacked out looks so much better. I have a pair of Ultra Boost Uncaged in purple and will be doing just this when I get my materials in the mail. The sneakers is so cool but have no idea what the designers were thinking when they opted for the white. I bought my sneakers knowing I was gonna custom black out the sole.
Just found your channel, great videos! And nice chill vibe with the music/voice. How did these hold up to the cracking/chipping that happen to a lot of people? Have you been wearing them a lot?
thank you, andrew! they have cracked, but it's not too noticeable unless you're starting closely at it. the main prob is when the paint comes off from accidentally hitting/kicking something on the ground or your other foot. it's not a permanent solution and def needs to be touched up every so often.
I'm wondering if waterproof mural paint is better choice, because leather dye on a rubber sole could not possibly work because rubber does not absorb the dye like leather does. I assume the acrylic leather paint does the trick, with on-going touch ups.
can you explain why did you apply 2 layers of black leather dye first ? and then 2 layers of black leather paint ? i'm wondering if i can just use only the paint ? what does the DYE do ? what is it's function ? Thank you so much .
i used 2 layers for more coverage so the paint doesn't rub off easily. i don't think there's one way of blacking out your boost. try doing different things. there's a sharpie oil pen that ppl have been using instead of paint.
@jennizerr hi if I want to keep cost low , would it be fine to just paint the sole with only the angelus flat black acrylic leather paint ? thanks greatly appreciated !!
Do NOT do this to your shoes. Does not last even one day. This video is just an ad for the leather dye brand, it does not work on the foam rubber, you will be very disappointed :/
Joe Michael Kniss damn, I’m still looking for a cheap way to black out my boost midsoles , what’s your next best idea to achieve the look? Also, did you apply the paint on a clean midsole? Let me know! Response would be appreciated :)

acetone... yes.

best black boost custom I've seen, gonna try it on a pair of my old boosts
I just did this process on a pair of rocketboost runners. Turned out awesome.
I didn't use acetone to prep my paint came off first day just putting that out
Thanks for the video. I am going to try it on the rubber soles of a pair of boots (black top with a cream soul).

as the outsole boost will look after 1 month of walking in them! Does this crack all?
Do you think maybe doing 4-5 coats of dye, and 4-5 coats of paint will help add more durability?
i think so, but cracking is inevitable.

Don't call it a comeback....... you have been missed. Dope tutorial.
appreciate you

Wow you did a great job with the custom, you gave me the courage to black out my ultra boost. I hope they turn out as good as yours.
good luck and thank you!
Dante Lee does the paint crack ?
Can you do a video on how to possible dye the material black?
Awesome content Jen. Very informative.
thank you!
does the color stay on the sole for a long time?
Can change it again I mean to say is it temporary
How have they held up Jen
Looks dope.
Can you post a vid on how to repaint the midsole white and what colors to use?
it's the same process. replace the flat black paint and black leather dye with flat white acrylic paint.
Did the paint hold up? Did it start cracking once you wear them?
Thanks.
it cracked. i don't remember how quickly tho.
What if I just want to do that on the purple part ?
Those are hard.
How durable is the finish?
Amazing custom!
Solid custom, great tutorial thank you 👍
awesome tutorial, do you have any suggestions on how to keep the paint from cracking? like to prevent the white underneath the paint to not show
unfortunately, there's no way to prevent cracking from happening on the sole. you just need to do touch ups sporadically.
What do they call those spring like things you put inside your shoe to straighten it out
How do you position your camera like this
Did you use a different paint brush when using the leather dye then leather paint? Or did you just wash the paint brush?
same brush. i just washed it btw dye and paint.
i bought them in black
can you explain why did you apply 2 layers of black leather dye first ? and then 2 layers of black leather paint ?
i'm wondering if i can just use only the paint ? what does the DYE do ? what is it's function ?
Thank you so much .

Can you do another video for an NMD_R1 or NMD_XR1 Black Out, please?
it's the same process. just be careful around the midsole blocks if you're doing it freehand. otherwise, you can use painters tape.
they dope sis,how to it last?
thank you, still wear testing them...
jennizerr does the paint still last ?
Does a sharpie work?
maybe, but i personally wouldn't use it on boost.
Finally a new vid! :D
!!
amazing
cool turned out nice!
thank you!
let me know how they fair out over time. i know some of my customs are cracking and i have to keep touching them up!
will do! did you use finisher at the end?
jennizerr thanks! i did use finisher on my customs. i use matte finisher mostly.
thatgirlwiththekicks did you use acetone to prep
TheCrazyFisherman i sure did! angelus leather preparer & deglazer
ok I'll try that... what is deglazer composed of?
Would this work with my Flyknit Racers' sole
it should
Love watching your videos, wait for more~~
thank you
Where did you get the shoe trees?
ikea
What about pureboost?
works on any boost style
@jennizerr hi if I want to keep cost low , would it be fine to just paint the sole with only the angelus flat black acrylic leather paint ? thanks greatly appreciated !!
try it out with just flat black paint! you'll have to touch it up either way depending on how often you wear them.
Fire
Dope
🙏🏻
Finally!
Wow it been 7 years 2024
This pair should stay OG! Maybe 'white-out'?
dopeee
thank you!
how much did u pay for them?
Showed your channel to a couple of female colleagues. They're chuffed bits on getting a female point of view for their kicks!
awesome! thank you for sharing!
I want to hold your hands
Its nice but you do realize that shoe you painted cost 500$ resale :/
this pair was beat, but might repaint the midsole white down the road.

eventually, yes.
