Next Level Custom Shoe Paint
KixKote was built for sneaker artists, restorers, and DIY creators who demand pro‑grade results without the fuss. Our urethane‑based system is engineered to adhere, flex, and last on real‑world materials—from premium leather to coated synthetics—so your work looks fresh from day one to day 101.
Why KixKote
Pro Formula — Urethane chemistry balances adhesion, flexibility, and durability for daily wear.
High‑Opacity Pigments — Self‑leveling laydown and rich color in fewer coats.
Street‑Tough Finish — Scuff‑resistant with the right prep and pro topcoats.
Dialed System — Prep → Paint → Finish, designed to work together end‑to‑end.
Product Lines
WALK101 Series — 101 full‑coverage colors. “101 Ways to Flex.”
UV Blaze Line — retina‑searing neons that pop under blacklight. “Glow Loud. Blaze Hard.”
ChromeFlex Line — metallics that drip with shine. “Drip In Every Drop.”
Materials & Compatibility
Best On — Smooth leather, patent, coated leather, and many synthetics.
Also Works With — Foam midsoles, vinyl, and PU blends (with proper prep).
Prep Matters — De‑gloss, clean, mask, and test a small area for 100% confidence.
How It Works
1) Prep — Clean, de‑gloss, and tape. A smooth, grease‑free surface is everything.
2) Paint — Light, even coats. Let each coat flash before the next.
3) Finish — Lock it in with a pro topcoat for the right sheen and extra scuff resistance.
Is KixKote flexible enough for daily wear?
Yes. Our urethane system is designed to flex with the shoe and resist cracking when applied over properly prepped surfaces and sealed with the right finish.
Do I need a primer?
Most leather and coated synthetics do not require a separate primer—proper de‑gloss and surface prep are usually enough. Always test first.
Can I mix colors and create my own shades?
Absolutely. WALK101 colors are fully mixable for custom tones, fades, and effects.
