Graffiti Your Own Converse Shoes!

If you don’t have the cash to splurge on custom Converse graffiti shoes, why not make them yourself?

The Converse All Star is one of the most popular and well known shoes out there. It is most often seen in it’s original two-tone colour scheme, however since it’s introduction in 1917, the shoe has taken on many different forms. The All Star is now available with a variety of different colours, patterns and designs, however if that’s not unique enough for you, your own custom graffiti could be just the thing to make your Converse truly one of a kind.

You’ll want to start with some light coloured Converse All Stars (preferably white). It’s a good idea to stuff the insides of your shoes with something before you begin, as this will make them easier to draw on. Once you’ve either selected or created a design for your shoes, buy some fabric pens in the colours of your choice.

If this is your first time customizing a pair of All Stars, you may want to cut out a cardboard template for the lettering. Use the template for the outline of each letter, then colour in the middle. If you do decide to free-hand your graffiti, be careful, as the fabric pen is permanent!

That’s all there is to it to making your own head-turning graffiti Converse shoes!
