IHSN-01 - Low Top Sneakers in 21oz Selvedge Indigo, 21oz Superblack, 21oz White

[FlavourFade]

@Oaktavia i had a pair of catchball picnic canvas sneakers years ago. They were white and I wore them every day to work, on light hikes or walking the dog... Kept them pretty white with this method for at least two years or so... Then I spilled tomato sauce all over them, washig did not help with that anymore

[Oaktavia]

@FlavourFade oh nooo! At that point I would just overdye them.

@Oaktavia I’ve used the newspaper trick before and it works really well.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt yes it worked for me too- I am wearing my pair right now at work. I switched the newspaper a couple of times. I will do this from now on.

@fatmike71 as AJ mentioned regarding the High-Tops, never say never but there are no plans in the works to re-make these currently speaking

[fatmike71]

bummer these are so sweet i bought two pairs of the white but the indigo and back were sadly long gone before i got at them

[Oaktavia]

Process photos of dyeing my white sneakers indigo. These were taken after the first dip. The color appears yellow and bluegreen as the indigo oxidation occurs. I have subsequently administered three additional dips since this time. I about to give them a final rinse and wash and will post dry photos tomorrow.

Interesting like it

[Oaktavia]

@Kasi yeah man I'm about to wash them and I'm eager to see what tone of indigo they turn out when they dry tomorrow

@Oaktavia I wonder how long it will take for you to experiment with color on them…

Quoting myself here, and the answer is 26 days.

They are mostly dry this morning. A nice medium indigo, which is what I was going for. I'll lace them up and take photos outside once the sun rises over the hills out back.

[FlavourFade]

@Oaktavia very cool what you did there. I even thought about overdying my indigo ones, but am afraid of ruining them. Any thoughts on that y'all?

Also can you recommend laces? Mine are trashed with oily stains from kicking pallets at work...

[Oaktavia]

Laced up in the sunrise. Lots of photos as I tried getting multiple angles with reduced shadows. I am happy with the results. A nice medium indigo with slightly darker laces. The denim has also softened quite a bit which is fine by me. I wish the rubber took the dye more but at the same time I dig the white and blue together.

@FlavourFade what color were you thinking of overdyeing?

[FlavourFade]

@Oaktavia I was thinking black because I really dig how black od'ed indigo fades. But thinking how slow the 01 fades it's maybe just black in the end

Any suggestions?
