Kini Kick’s
A few months ago I painted up a pair of $25 Avia sneakers I got at Walmart just for fun, and they kinda turned out pretty awesome. I ordered a set of matching laces for them, however the laces came in a 2-pack. So wtf am I gonna do with an extra pair of laces? Serendipitously around about this time I reconnect with my childhood friend Kini – Mask & Torch – back from junior high school on Facebook after 25 years 
, and I show him my shoes and tell him I’ll make him a set since I’ve got the extra laces and all. So I go and cop another pair of sneaks and do em’ up similar to the originals. Now we’ve got a mated pair. I’m gonna send these bad boys out to my boy En Espana 
.
At the end I polish them off with 2 brushed on – medium coats of Angelus No. 600 finisher to seal the deal.
1.) Sneaker primordium
2.) Once masked off, I hit em’ with the black back foundation, and then layer white in the areas where I want color to reside. Finished it off with some flicks and spritz of white. I did not document this part 😅
3.) We have 2 sets of laces for these shoes. The original yellow, and the alternative galaxy ones.
And that’s the story of these shoes
