* On shoes made of smooth material it's possible
to cover it with stickers/pictures of your choice. Cover a small area
with brush on nail glue (even the cheap shit works). Stick the sticker,
picture, even a piece of paper with your design on the location you want
it. Then cover it with more nail glue in an even coating. After it dries
you have a unique pair of shoes.
* Another easy
way to spiff up the kicks is to get new shoe laces, ones with a different
color or a print.
