    The swoosh's have that reflective coating on, you could try pure acetone to take the coating off then you should be able to apply a colour over the top

    sharpie will just go purple.

    you could try finding a plastic/synthetic paint that has a waterproof finisher?

    Hey, I shortened the studs on my legends and I pretty much do this with all my FG boots due to me playing on hard ground and AG...I got a drill bit with a file tip and just file them down a few mm's or until they are comfortable.

    Did you just cut it off or did you stitch it up afterwards?

    I think he did it with sticky notes and gold permenant markers. It's his initials EC then his number 10. I clean his boots for him (top brother) and the majority of them are spotless but i have trouble cleansing the heal counter, I have to literally scrape it off with a knife to get it off

    Just don't let it settle - make him wipe with a cloth or something once he's worn them.

    I will next time. He was at a tournament and put his v1.08s on and left them in the bag for the mud to stick on

    Does anybody have any experience with mixed sole conversion on hypervenoms? Was thinking about getting it done and wanted some feedback on how they perform after.

    Man, that looks good. If i were you, I would white out the whole thing except the stripes but nonetheless, that a nice job!

    Not sure why it shows as blue still.. In real life it's completely white . I was thinking about doing either that or a complete whiteout... And thanks:)

    Those looks great - I'd white them out other than the stripes and see what they look like then you can go for a total white out if you think it would look better.

    I'd have to keep the blue tongue though,

    Apart from the graphic is there any difference between this adizero and the first one!

    I'm pretty sure they were a slightly different shape (Possibly with a thinner upper) - I also think they were lighter.
