Part of the specialized Collector Edition line, Angelus Varsity is a professional-grade acrylic pigment matched to the iconic shade of the White/Varsity Red Air Jordan 6 released in 2010. This technical formula is engineered for the high-movement demands of leather footwear, ensuring that the vibrant red finish integrates with the material rather than sitting on top. Its molecular structure allows the paint to remain highly flexible, effectively preventing surface fractures or peeling in high-stress zones like the toe box during constant mechanical flexing.

For a factory-standard result, the substrate must be prepared with a deglazer to remove original topcoats, allowing for a permanent chemical bond. Applying the paint in several light, even layers ensures a smooth, self-leveling finish that mimics the appearance of a factory-fresh shoe. Once fully cured over 24 hours, the Varsity finish becomes an industrial-strength, waterproof barrier that provides long-term resistance to abrasive scuffing and environmental fading.

Formula: High-flexibility, water-based acrylic resin matched to specific collector footwear colorways.

Application: Suitable for use with brushes, sponges, or airbrushes (thinning with 2-Thin is required for airbrush applications).

Coverage: High-density Varsity red pigment provides exceptional opacity for restoration and custom color-swaps.

Durability: Formulated for maximum resistance to water penetration, scuffing, and UV wear.

Sizes: Currently available in 1 oz containers to support precise restoration and custom work.

White/Varsity 6

Matched off of the 2010 White/Varsity 6 Release.

PAINTING LEATHER

1. Prepare leather surfaces using 3-5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag. (acetone can also be used).

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. When dry, wipe with microfiber cloth to remove any remaining dust particles.

3. Apply Angelus Paint with paint brush, airbrush (at least 0.35mm nozzle) or sponge. Apply 3-5 coats or until desired coverage has been reached. Less coats can be used for line work and detail work.

Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

4. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before allowing paint to bend or flex. Be careful of flying lint or debris getting on the shoe to avoid imperfections. Longer curing time ensures better durability.

5. To add extra protection or customize the finish, apply Angelus 4-Coat Clear Coat in Flat, Satin, Glossy, or Matte. Use 1-2 layers for the best results. 1-2 layers on top.

PAINTING CANVAS/DENIM - SHOES, CLOTHING, AND MORE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get out all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the canvas.

2. Make sure there is adequate dry time and that you wipe off and get all the cleaner out.

3. (Optional) If you want to make the paint soak in and not be as rubbery textured on canvas we suggest using our product 2-Soft mixed with our paint. You can paint Angelus paint directly on canvas without it but it just will feel more like a screen print then part of the shoe. When using 2-Soft you must heat set.

4. Paint with 3-5 light layers of Angelus Paint. Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

5. Leave to dry.

(Optional) No additional protection is really needed as the paint has soaked into the canvas. If you want to change the sheen to a matte or glossy look instead we do suggest our 4-Coat Clear Coat.
