Product Name:<\/strong> Sneaker Customization Kit<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Background research: As summer rapidly approaches, I’m beginning to notice that I need some new sneakers. But I’m starting to realize: either the shoes I like are too expensive or the ones that are affordable, I’m not so crazy about the way they look. Then it dawned on me, what if I were able to create a sneaker that perfectly matched my style & clothes that were already in my closet as opposed of buying a shoe, then having to go buy more things to go with it.<\/p>\n

Hypothesis:<\/strong> With the sneaker customization kit<\/a>, I can create my own personal design to whatever sneaker I choose.<\/p>\n

The Experiment:<\/strong> I took a pair of sneakers that I barely wore, removed the laces, grabbed a couple of “sneaker preparation wipes,” cleaned off the sneakers, & let my imagination do the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being that I am an artist, I analyzed the whole ordeal way too much, beforehand. Meaning, I thought it would be far more difficult than it turned out to be. It was one of the simplest yet fastest things I could have imagined. I was very impressed with the shine & gloss quality of the paint (included in the kit). I was also extremely pleased when at the last moment I decided to change one the colors & saw how easily the wipes erased my previous decision.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Results: I ended up having a brand new pair of sneakers that took me less than and hour, that I custom made to coincide with whatever I decide to wear in my closet & I didn’t even have to leave the house!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Conclusion: I am very impressed with this item, now my only problem is I don’t know which shoes in my closet I’m going to paint next!<\/p>\n

Need some new kicks? The sneaker customization kit<\/a> is only $45– more affordable than any designer brand!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
