I started these shoes in the beginning of 2020, and have spent months getting the drawings just right before i went in with my alcohol based markers to color them. These markers allow the designs to be waterproof and smear proof, as well as extremely resistant to wear and fading. I started coloring shoes about 6 years ago and still have the original pair, and they have held up great, through snow shoveling, mud, dirt, rain and dust, these shoes shine still. I wanted to make a tribute to my favorite artist and influence growing up, i really admire his work ethic and passion for life. I see he used to like fila shoes, and now i can understand why. Feel free to message me any questions or anything. This item is made of markers and pen, ink, prismacolor, copic, micron.
