g'day guys, my names Nik, im from Melbourne Australia!
19 y.o, greek background. loved anything adidas my entire life, only just discovered this awesome world of rare sneakers! (as i just bought a pair of adidas adicolor blue series toy2r's, to inspect them insanely to find a dodgy stitching line--fakes
i dont even think the guy off ebay new they were either.. that makes two naive people so far!)
i had no idea so many fakes were out there! its a real shame, i thought i had myself a sweet pair of 1/5000 shoes ever made.
im studying industrial design and mechanical engineering at monash..5 years of my life...almost two down! (also building a formula SAE racecar if for some odd reason someone in here has any idea what im on about).
very artistic person, and would love to start customizing my own shoes! although i have about as much money as any other regular student..so basically i cant afford it atm.
any guys that customise there shoes out there, was wondering what would you buy as a base to work on? obviously you wouldnt want fakes so what do you guys usually try buy to work on?
currently running into the ground a nice pair of gazelles (white with blue stripes and sole), they are too tattered now so looking for new shoes
well look forward to posting more.

Hello and welcome
A plain white supe would be a good base to start from.

Greetings!
Nice intro, bad luck on the fakes but now that you've found this place, it shouldn't happen again.
Look for the fake soops guide on here, it will save you a small fortune!

Yo Nik!
Yeah as Samo said, plain white is what you want, then you can do what you want, check out the customs section to see what other people have done and what the best materials are.

welcome aboard
if you want to practice customizing use old pairs of shoes, or look on ebay for second hand shoes going cheap.
