So I bought this pair of shoes last year. I think I put them in a thread. But alas, that picture seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. They were black, with white detailing all over in some sort of splatter-paint, rocker deal. For ******** sake, just imagine the shoes below with white everything instead of colors. Why am I bothering? Whatever. I bought them 'cause they were cheap.

Fast-forward a year, and they're pretty beat up; the whites aren't white, the blacks are a ruddy grey, but I love 'em.

I happened to be wearing these shoes yesterday, and was sitting around fiddling with a Sharpie to keep my hands busy when suddenly both the marker and the shoes ended up in my line of vision at the same time.

Less than 24 hours later, and this is the result.

Colored in as much of the white as I could, then took a bit of spray paint to the fronts.

The laces remain white, and I'm not sure what to do with them. Should I leave them, or make them black as well? Vote and/or respond.

I do have to admit. I like 'em.

The last moments of my gangstah' days linger in my shoes.
I MUST KEEP THEM UBER CLEAN.

Except I have a pair of beater shoes that I can mess up.

P.S. DID YOU DRAW A p***s ON THE SIDE OF ONE?!

No pen0rz. The angle makes it look like it, though. I never noticed that. xDD

It's a supposed ribbon with "live to rock" on it.

I vote neither choice as the shoe strings should be multi colored to match the shoes. 3nodding

I think black would be awesome. =]
Maybe add some random bright stitches to the black laces though?

Them's cool shoes Dris. I want them.
And, I'm with Honsu in regards to laces.

The squiggley things on the tongues and sides look like like the Rip Curl logo.

So send me some s**t to doodle all over. <3

I'm leaning more toward black laces at the moment. The idea of colorful laces is awesome, but I'm afraid of them being too busy, y'know? I don't want to distract too much from the rest of the shoe.

Yeah, black laces would go well with the rest of the shoe without detracting from the other colours 3nodding

I've never been able to bring myself to color on my shoes. But I guess that the sharpie would come out after a few washes anyway.

I like the coloring.
