Ever start a project and never finish it?

Back in Summer 2005, I bought a pair of sneakers off a kid in California. I think I paid $60 for them. Shipped. They were a pair of brown pack Nike SB dunk lows. When I got them, I was bummed on the skimpy tongue. I wanted a FAT tongue. So I thought I would try my hand at customization.

My original plan was to make a poor man’s Slam City dunks. Bleach out the dark brown, and color the toebox, swoosh and lace stays black. I immediately go to work bleaching the kicks and bought the black Rit. Almost 3 years later, the Rit still has not been applied. And I have still never worn these sneakers.

Here are some more pics.

They are my unfinished sneaker project. What is even more funny, is that I have some bottles of angelus paint somewhere, and I spent many evenings in my cold ass basement painting a pair of blazers. But I can’t find one evening to smear Rit all over these sneakers.

So the question remains, should I finish this project or call it “good enough?” Actually, they are sort of growing on me now.
