Need New Kicks? Air Max Green Blue Ultimate Buyers Guide.

Okay, here’s my blog post about customizing my “Air Max Green Blue” sneakers:

Need New Kicks? Air Max Green Blue Ultimate Buyers Guide.

So, I’ve had these plain white Air Max kicks for a while, and I was getting kinda bored with them. I wanted something unique, you know? I saw this “Air Max Green Blue” design online, and I thought, “I can do that!” I’m no artist, but I figured, how hard could it be?

Getting Started

First, I gathered my supplies. I already had the white shoes. I picked up some acrylic paint in a nice, bright green and a cool, ocean blue. I also grabbed some painter’s tape and a few different sized brushes – some tiny ones for details and a bigger one for, well, the bigger areas.

  • Acrylic paint (green and blue)
  • Painter’s tape
  • Various paint brushes

The Messy (But Fun) Part

I started by taping off the areas I didn’t want to paint. This was mostly the soles and some of the upper parts. I’m not gonna lie, this took some time and patience. I wanted to make sure the lines were clean, so I really took my time with the tape.

Then came the painting! I decided to do a gradient effect, blending the blue and green together. I started with the blue at the bottom, near the sole, and gradually worked my way up, adding more green as I went. I used a slightly damp brush to help blend the colors together. It wasn’t perfect, but I liked the kind of “organic” look it had.

The Finish

It will be better if I added a layer of waterproof spray, and that is exactly what I did.

After letting the paint dry overnight (which was killing me, I was so excited to see them!), I carefully removed the tape. There were a few tiny spots where the paint bled a little, but I used a tiny brush and some white paint to touch those up. And honestly, you can’t even tell unless you’re looking really close.

The waterproof spray dried out in an hour, and the customization is done!

Overall, I’m super happy with how they turned out! They’re definitely unique, and I get compliments on them all the time. It was a fun little project, and it totally transformed my plain white shoes into something special. If you’re thinking about doing something similar, I say go for it! Just be patient, have fun, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes – that’s part of the process!
