These custom-painted Animal Crossing sneakers look so good, I initially thought they were an official product — but nope! They’re actually a project .
In the 10-ish-minute video below, which is really down-to-earth 🦄to the point where the process actually seems feasible, they walk us through how th♛ey managed to craft the shoes. Talking us through, kelfunncheng says that this is their first time painting shoes, and they wanted to document the entire process.
There’s a lot of preparation involved, including cleaning up the shoes, and taping them up. The creator practiced on several household objects to test shades/color mixing, as well as a general painting technique. Again, it’s a really relatable video, as they even talk through a few minor issues before getting started (like how the air hose was loose, which prevented air from coming out of the brush); including stuff that might actually happen to a normal person trying it themselves.
The kicker? This was all spurred on as a gift for their sister. Wholesome! Animal Crossing is so ubiquitous (especially after New Horizons) that I feel like you could theoretically give anyone a gift of something based out of this universe and they’d appreciate it.
