Here are the Chucks that I made as a tribute to the Philippine Olympic Team for the Beijing Olympics. I made the shoes two weeks before the start of the Olympics, but I was so lazy to post this because the Philippine team kinda sucks right now. Maybe seeing this will give them inspiration or something. Philippine Olympic Team on Yahoo!I used Kurecolor markers, since Copic markers are hard to find here in the Philippines. I sprayed it with a waterproof fixative for fabrics. I didn't use textile paint or acrylic paint because I didn't want to lose the texture of the canvas, plus it will look thicker. I recently acquired iron-on Pastel Dye Sticks for fabrics from Pentel, and I must say they hold up very well to frequent washing, so I might try it on my next shoe.
UPDATE: Fully Booked in Bonifacio High Street sells Copic markers for P175!
I can make you a pair for P1000 using Greenhills knockoffs or P2500 using genuine Chuck Taylors. Cost does not include shipping/delivery. I accept COD for Metro Manila buyers, and PayPal for international buyers.
