College Studio: Feet
18.05.12
During these recent windows of warmth, we’ve been able to leave our fur-lined boots at home a few weeks early.
If you’ve been embarrassed by how plain your feet look, you may have been avoiding breaking out the Keds.
Here are some ways you can customize your kicks easily:
GATHER INSPIRATION
The good folks at Nike don’t want anyone to be productive:
You can wile away the hours on their website, picking different color combinations for your dream Dunks. This customization deal is why you sometimes see people wearing heinously colored Nikes. To its credit, it’s a great source of inspiration. Take this moment to reflect — what colors do you like? What kind of a “feel” are you going for here?
Pro tip: Adidas and Converse also have website features like this.
PICK YOUR POISON
You need shoes. Really, you should use shoes you already have. I don’t want you to mess up a brand new pair of Converse. Even sandals can be customized with a little bedazzling, but I’d like to focus on gym shoes here, because there’s more solid space to work with. Also, I never want to condone or promote anyone gluing rhinestones onto their Old Navy flip flops — unsavory.
