For anyone whose one true love is Disneyland and has a special place in their heart for the Tiki Room, these customs by @tate_allyse_art are for you. Bright pinks, oranges and purples in a gradient give this pair a tropical vibe. And don't forget the carved tikis on one toe and the famous Enchanted Tiki Room sign on the other.

These Japan inspired Dunk Lows by @julia.miaw are completely painted by hand and the fine level of detail really shows. The intricate design covers the uppers in rich red, blue and gold. Detail this precise calls for the right tools and it's essential to have brushes like the ones found in the Angelus Mirco Detail Paint Brush Set to ensure such clean lines and precision.

For cute customs look no further than these Animal Crossing Vans by @kendrascustoms. Cuddly creatures in yellow, grey and brown make these slip-ons hard to resist. Just make sure to add some Angelus 2-Soft Fabric Medium to the paint when customizing fabric surfaces like these canvas Vans, it will ensure the paint stays flexible after it drys.
