I prefer this style over the AF1, honestly! Just SO cute and more lightweight, with a little extra platform. Comfy, great for paint.

White slip ons are one of my favorite pairs to paint because they just have so much usable space! Black can make brighter colors pop.

An oldie but a goodie, right? Prime it and paint it, add some fresh laces, done.

The GOAT for painting because they are so supple and smooth. Definitely a splurge, but well worth it if you want to keep your custom shoes for a long time..
