make your own sneaker kit – how cool is that

are those morgam soles?

be sure to get your size right

not sure about the toe hold – you clearly have to modify the design to make somethings special – but that’s the whole point of this

the sneaker DIY started kit include a rubber sole of your choice…

that looks like some nasty ass leather they picked? that’ll tear into your feet in no time. i would go with a softer leather and then “line it” with some kid-leather maybe?

the have the patterns too all you need to do is modify it to fit your style…

 

all for just $75… wait, scratch that, make it $60

the sneaker starter kit gets your custom sneaker build off to a quick start. perfect for hobbyists or leather crafters that are ready to try DIY shoemaking. all you need is basic leather crafting skills and you can build your choice of high top or low cut sneakers.

the kit includes a pair of rubber outsoles, footbed foam, lasting board, the sneaker pattern, sole stitching needle, and disappearing ink pen. there is also a video that shows you the full build.

all you will need is leather (we recommend 1.5 to 2.0mm), shoes laces, glue, scissors, and thread. if you are an absolute newbie and need tools they have you covered too. just check out the shoemakers academy and get all that you need. very cool. by ar
