Like if this audio has taken over your #fyp It’s literally this and Paging Dr. Beat, emergency emergency. 😧 I literally can’t scroll away from it. Every time I open Instagram, I get these two on repeat. 🤦🏻‍♀️ . #cestlavic #cut #heart #af1

Part of a Complete Breakfast 🥣 #KelloggsPartner . I was inspired by two of the most iconic @Kelloggsus high fiber cereals, @FrostedMiniWheats & @RaisinBran to transform TWO pairs of @PF_Flyers into custom sneakers, and to support a great cause. From mockup to laser cutting and final brushstrokes, see how these #RaisinBran and #FrostedMiniWheats customs came to life! I finished just in time for the National Epilepsy Walk on March 15th, 2025. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide. 💟Purple is the symbol of support in the Epilepsy community, so these sneakers have plenty of it and will be headed to DC to lace up for the walk. Thanks to the @Epilepsyfdn for their great work on this important cause. 📣 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁—𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 #𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀!

Who ate White Rabbit Candies growing up?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ . I present to you an AF1 inspired by the most nostalgic candy for all my Asian brothers and sisters. I remember when my family used to live in Toronto's mini Chinatown, my parents would buy this for me and my cousins all the time. Have you ever tried it?! Best way I can describe it is a condensed milk Tootsie roll wrapped in a thin rice paper. The rice paper covering the candy is a bit strange at first, but it melts when it touches your tongue, and it really grows on you after some time. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've ever tried one. This is my way of wrapping up the lunar year of the Rabbit and welcoming the year of the Dragon! I'm going to be home for this lunar new year, my first in 6 years 🥲 since I've moved to America. I'm really looking forward to all the amazing food. . #cestlavic #whiterabbitcandy #asianfood #asiankid #asianfood #lunarnewyear #lunarnewyear2024 #whiterabbit #af1s #nike #custom #asianinspired #immigrantstories #asianfoods

So did I end up paying $7 or $11 for these?! 🫠 . I think I lost the receipt. I picked these up in the clearance section of Winners (in Toronto!) so they were actually in Canadian dollars. That’s like $5 USD. Now they look like $500 bucks! I could not believe how pretty they turned out, but this has got me questioning whether I actually paid $7 or did I pay $11? 🤣🤣🤣 . I get this question A LOT, “can it work on vegan leather?!” I’m here to report, YES, these turned out SO pretty on vegan leather. Sneaker Tattoos were built for genuine leather, but they also work wonderfully on so many other surfaces, just make sure you spot-test it before you go all out! . PS. Almost ate 💩 trying these on at the park. Unfortunately I did not film that fail. . #cestlavic #sneakertattoos #makeityourown

🌸Yep. Obsessed. 🌸 . This is the part where I run to tattoo everything I have with this exact pattern and start buying new sneakers I need to tattoo but have absolutely no time for 😅. . #cestlavic #orchid #cowboyboots #custom #coachella

🌸took me a full day and I haven’t even gotten to decorating! 🌸 . What is it with last minute projects? It’s the only way I’m motivated to finish a project I’ve been putting off for a long time, but that time crunch 🥵🥵. Lmao luckily I’m not at Coachella right now, I’ve got like a million projects to finish up. . #cestlavic #sneakertattoos #makeityourown #coachella

It works!! Would you try it? 🐣🥚 . So many of you have sent me videos of this last year, so I finally decided to try it. This is such a fun way to decorate your eggs, and I’m going to say, you can use any temporary tattoos, doesn’t have to be your Sneaker Tattoos. But I had an extra page lying around so I decided to try them! The topcoat also seals it right in so they’re not going to get ruined when you touch them. . #cestlavic #sneakertatoos #eastereggs

I said what I said. I’ve been customizing for over a decade and I gotta say this method is not only satisfying, it’s one of the only methods that don’t take me more than a day! If you’re airbrushing, you have to tape up 🫠 everything, even hand painting, need to watch the paint dry, carefully paint in your design. But don’t mistake it, I’m not saying those techniques should be replaced, I’m just saying Sneaker Tattoos is another friend that’s joining the party, and boyyy is it a fun one. Stunning graphics in just a fraction of the time. I’m still not over how fun it is. Don’t listen to me, try it yourself! . #cestlavic #sneakertattoos #makeityourown
