Whoever is in Toronto for ASW, the HOH on Yonge is doing some exclusive gear for this weekend only. They've got patches of Kobe, KD, LeBron, PG-13, and AD that you can get etched on a hoodie pullover or zip up and pants. Copped the Kobe and will post pics tonight.

Ive never dyed the soles but I think it would yield better results than painted ones. Which in my experience does fade/chip etc after wearing them. I will suggest breakin them in before you customize them. 

What exactly are you trying to do? When Im trying to cover up blk or a dark color, I use white then whatever color I want it to actually be

Just want to make the outsole one color also so it doesn't glow. Just covering up the sides is okay. Break up all the mint green as well. The tongue and heel is the best part, not having the option on iD was disappointing. The regular heel looks cheap the more I look at it.

Repped, haven't fully inspected mine yet, just went in and copped my TTS immediately.   What size were you able to grab?
Click to expand...

Right on thnx. My tts is 11.5. They only had 12. I think I did right getting a 12. Kobes usually run narrow on me.

On side note, the sheath on the insole is also gitd. Now waiting to get bhm for a discount somewhere.

Interesting. If I had the time Id take on a project like that, if you attempt it LMK. While Im no expert I can assist on any questions you may have. 

If they drop in price Ill grab them to do something like what your thinking. 
 
Sorry this is off topic of the XI but i seen the mamba mastery page that nike put up of all his all star kicks and i had a question did the Kobe II all star ever release??

The tutorial you posted was very helpful. I get the jest of it. Have a beater I can test on too.

If you do it please post the results.

You could probably dye the whole sole but I'm not sure how it would react with the glow sole. I'm guessing it'll cover it up pretty well but it could glow underneath. The dye itself is pretty durable.. I experienced a tiny bit of flaking but I think it was excess dye. If you leave it under heat hit dyes the sole all the way through.

this is what they were originally. I did the same process from that video except that I screwed up and got dye on the white herringbone. So, I dyed the whole thing. 

The outsole has held up.

If those release I'm all in. Huge fan of the old MPLS colorways, have the 1, 3 (which I'm currently wearing), and 4. Was bummed they stopped producing them. 
 
the red model the red model Did you use only the dye or you mixed it with sole bright as the video did? I appreciate the responses. Makes me want to take on the task even more. Just gotta wait for them to go on sale for $150 :lol

I used sole bright but I didn't let them sit in the sun. It was cold out when I did it so I put it by a radiator lol. I'm sure I didn't do the process any justice lol.
 
just wait it out,,,,stores are gonna be flooded with elite lows at $120-140 range

Surprised they have never put a snake design on the outsole.
