Customize Kicks Magazine presents a how-to resource on turning well known branded sneakers into one-of-a-kind works of art!

The perfect resource for fans who take their love of collectible sneakers to the level of customizing.

With photos and tips for turning sneakers from well-known brands like Adidas and NIKE sneakers into works of art, the team at the popular Customize Kicks magazine introduces you to six experts' construction techniques, and gives step-by-step photo instructions. The nine projects range from easy—painted details that can be completed in a weekend—to advanced, such as fully rebuilding the upper.

While customizing any sneakers is a creative hobby or business, there are certain sneakers that are actually officially recommended by the manufacturer for customization, such as the Air Max 270; info on working with these is included.

By mastering the basics along with many other helpful skills, you'll up your game. For example, the hydrographic film used to transfer difficult-to-hand-draw designs is hard to obtain. You'll learn the technique of “waterslide decal paper customization” requiring just a home printer and waterslide decal transfer paper.

Enjoy customizing your own sneakers and asserting your individuality!

The Customize Kicks Magazine team, led by its chief editor Yuji Sato, compiled this guide. Sato has been at the forefront of the Japanese sneaker culture for more than two decades. His experience includes founding the vintage sneaker store Hand Carry in Hiratsuka City and editing the mook Sneaker Fanbook.
