What type of paint.....

pmacvilay · Jul 14, 2010

Okay, so I've read through a bunch of threads and everyone says "turtlefeathers.com" and "angelus" paint. But I'm sure this is all just for casually worn shoes. I've used spray paint to mess around and paint a few old white/white AF1s and some old basketball shoes- the most comfortable pair I've worn- IMO. I really like these shoes and want to paint them a different color without the paint chipping off. So, my question....

What type of paint do you use for a shoe that you'll be playing basketball in?

-Running hard.

-Lots of bending and creasing in the shoe

Without the paint chipping off so dramatically...

Thanks in advanced for your help, NT'ers!

ive never painted a shoe that i balled in, so i dont know if i could be of great help, but i have painted shoes that have gotten tons of wear and they have zero cracking, creasing, etc. i did use angelus paints for those. i painted a pair of shadow 1's, and they still look great. depending on the leather, the shoes may hold up just fine. hope that helps.
