colin said...I like this, but wish they had a photo of what the sneakers look like. They just have a photo of the box, but no sneaker.

Coop said...What a load of crap! When I was a kid, our "sneaker customization kits" comprised one ink pen. You were really stylin' if you could come up with a few different colors of ink. No cleaning wipes were required. We certainly didn't need a "primer" on how to customize our skids. We just grabbed a pen (usually in class, but. . . ) and started doodling on our shoes.
