Might be some version of the AdiHigh.

Wondering if anyone's tried anything like this:

They're $50 on the Adidas website and maybe cheaper elsewhere. Just want some opinions on whether it would look good, or wisdom from anyone who's tried this. Specifically with spray painting and abrading the synthetic material.

Some of you are probably wondering why the hell I would bother including this.
Because it's a cheap shoe & it has more or less the right profile, one could easily stand to buy a pair and have a go at them with acetone, fine sandpaper and 'Fusion" spray paint (which is great on plastics). A wire brush would probably be helpful as well. I imagine the path to take would involve abrading the shoe first, painting it white or black and then removing as much paint as possible with the acetone. The cracks, crevices & abraded areas would soak up the color and result in unique patina. Abrading the shoe would be best done while wearing it, so you know where to highlight naturally occurring creases and stress points. A different solvent might be a better choice, I don't rightly know yet.
I'm only pitching out ideas here, this could very well look like shit but I'm interested in experimenting and I know that more than a handful of us have dabbled.
