Jordan XI Black Snakeskin Custom

[serveist]

Total noob here but after seeing these all black custom Jordan XI Snakeskin lows, I gotta have em! Figure I could spend some time learning and having some fun customizing at the same time. If anyone could help point me in the right direction as far as which materials/paint/sealant I need to use and any method tips with regards to the snakeskin, Id GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!

There is a previous thread that was very similiar: http://niketalk.com/t/590714/jordan-retro-11-low-snakeskin-custom-work-help

If this thread doesn't answer your questions feel free to ask.

Good luck, and be sure to post your results!

Thanks Polar! Will do! How difficult is this job all together? And how difficult would just painting the midsole black be? Keep in mind I have no experience customizing shoes but I can be pretty meticulous when it comes to labor projects like this.

You should be fine, if you have some previous painting experience and you make sure to follow all the steps then you will be fine. Just remember to properly prep your shoe and take your time. Painting a midsole isn't actually that tough, just be sure to take your time and not rush it. I posted a link in the other thread that gives a great guide to painting midsoles. 

Overall doing a fairly simple custom like this isn't too hard. 

I'm sure you'll be fine
