Nike iD Studio

The Nike iD service was launched in 1999. As an experiment, customers were invited to choose from a limited number of materials and colors of their own design of tennis shoes. Then there was the opportunity to personalize the famous Air Force One sneakers. Here, 31 options were already available for changing the materials of the base, sole, lining, laces and other things.

Gradually, from a small functionality on the Nike iD website, it turned into a large online service and special applications that provide even greater opportunities for personalization and creating your own unique style.

Create your style

The main features of Nike iD are focused on changing the design of shoes. Users are invited to choose which part of the sneaker will be personalized: you can choose materials and different color combinations. Together it gives a large number of unique options appearance which makes each pair of such shoes exclusive. In addition, if buyers do not want to dive deep into the development of their design, and at the same time they want to get a custom interesting model, then there is an opportunity to choose a ready-made design from sets or buy design solutions created by other users.

Having developed your sneaker project, you can use additional opportunities to change the appearance of sportswear. This feature is available exclusively through the online service, while Nike iD's offline studios work exclusively with shoes. Clothes can be changed individual elements bringing the sporty look to a single style.

For some, the exclusivity of shoes is everything, but not everyone has the money to buy new Nike or other brands for prices that often exceed $300. Although the concept of exclusivity is rather vague, someone really believes that buying only released sneakers will be exclusive and does not think that someone also has them, and someone takes their old sneakers and makes them truly exclusive sneakers. Now we will tell you how to make exclusive sneakers, and based on this, you can create your own unique sneakers.

Step 1: Materials

First of all, you need to have everything at hand the right materials. If you're going to dye your sneakers, you'll need a brush, sponge, or similar dyeing tool. For skin you need to buy special paint, and for other materials another (how to distinguish genuine leather from artificial). It is also advisable to have rubber gloves so as not to smear your hands, some surface on which you will do all this, it will also not be superfluous to have adhesive tape to seal areas that you do not want to accidentally paint over.

Step 2: Preparation

If you are going to paint sneakers, be sure to prepare the surface, you do not want the paint to peel off over time. Put on gloves and moisten cotton swabs with acetone, after which you will need to clean the surface so that it is ready for applying a special solution and paint.

Step 3: Surface preparation

Okay, you have applied a special solution to the material so that the paint lays well on the skin and is ready to be painted. Now decide which parts of the sneakers you will paint and which ones you will leave the same. Cover the areas that you will not paint with adhesive tape, very carefully and carefully so that if paint gets on them, they do not deteriorate.

Step 4: Paint selection

Now we can paint, but we need to choose what color, whether there is one or whether it needs to be obtained by mixing several colors. In general, you yourself will figure it out, this is a matter of taste.

Step 5 and 6: Applying paint

The paint must be applied carefully, in thin layers and preferably in several layers, to avoid stripes and bumps. Before applying the next layer, always check that the previous one is dry. Also, if you want to combine several colors, it is also advisable to carefully seal the areas where there will be a different color with adhesive tape, so that if you climb into this area, you will not spoil all the work.

Step 7 and 8: Fixing the Mistakes

If you still disobeyed our advice and did not seal the unused areas with adhesive tape, and accidentally got paint on them, you will have to carefully wipe it off with any solvent. There will also be many small parts, which will have to be corrected with a thin brush and it is important not to rush anywhere so as not to spoil everything.

Step 8 and 9: Finishing the Job

When all the paint work is over and the paint has dried, it is advisable to go through the hair dryer again to dry the sneakers for sure. After the paint has dried, it is advisable to apply a finishing agent to set the paint and improve its effect. In any art store you will be prompted which tool is best.

Step 10 and 11: Presentation

After all the work is over, you can admire your creation, and most importantly brag to friends and people. Feel free to put on your new sneakers and look at the views of people passing by.

In early spring, the Nike international website launched delivery to Russia. There would be nothing remarkable in this (you can find any of the Nike collaborations and rare releases in Moscow in several stores at once), if it were not for the NIKEiD customization service that has become available to Russians. Previously, it was possible to get personalized Nikes only through cunning manipulations: by agreeing with an intermediary and issuing a package to a third-party American address, or by persuading a friend to intercept a pair of sneakers on the way from New York to Moscow.

Now write given name on the tongue, hide the swoosh and make a hot pink sole on the orange Roshe Run on the Russian-language website of Nike or in one of the two Moscow studios of the brand. The main one - the one on the Old Arbat at the Nike flagship store - opened on March 25 and will work in its current form until May 5, 2016. It will then be converted into a mini customization station on a permanent basis. The studio at Strelka will be open until April 15, after which it will be closed permanently.

To create your own pair of sneakers, you need to sign up for any of the studios in advance. How is this different from customization through the site? First, you can count on the help of a consultant. He will help you get comfortable with the customization interface, select the model and size, tell you more about the materials, technologies and history of Nike silhouettes.

Secondly, on stands in front of two hefty aimaks, samples of customized sneakers are displayed. You can see how the embroidery will look on the back of the sneaker or on the tongue, compare the shades of the threads and peep a couple of ideas. The service's sneaker and material samples promise to change seasonally based on the prints and colorways available on Nike.com.

Thirdly (and most importantly), you can try on your favorite pair of sneakers right in the studio. This will help to avoid errors with the size, since even the same brand has different models may sit differently. Then the created design can be sent to your email address and already at home continue to improve the design or place an order. The parcel reaches Moscow in an average of four to six weeks.

The service of customization in the studio is free. Prices for "unique" Nikes are slightly higher than for standard models in the store. For example, a pair of Air Max 90s own design will be released at 9,690 rubles. The same model in the usual colors - 8,990 rubles. Delivery in both cases is free.

In addition to the aforementioned Air Max (90, 95, 1, Zero), you can customize other popular models Nike: Air Force, Air Presto, Pegasus and Huarache, Roshe, as well as football boots, lightweight running Flyknit and basketball Lebron and Jordan. As well as clothing: tops, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, shorts, socks, caps, gym bags and backpacks. Girls have no less choice: classic sneakers for every day, running models, shoes for football, basketball and gym activities.

Sneakers, of course, are the most interesting to remake. NIKEiD implies complete freedom design idea: literally everything can be changed in color and material - from the swoosh and tongue to laces and inserts on the sole and insole of the sneaker, which will be visible only to the owner. The main rule here is not to write anything obscene on the tongue (the site still recognizes English swearing and blocks them) and not get too carried away so as not to get a pair of outlandishly colored sneakers in a month that will literally drive others crazy.
