People Are Tie-Dying Their Sneakers on TikTok, and It's Mesmerizing

Since we have been staying at home, a lot of us have turned to tie-dying as a fun weekend activity. (If you're looking for an at-home tutorial that uses inexpensive materials, check this one out [3]!) While I have seen a TON of people delving into fashion DIY hacks with sweatshirts and hoodies, I never thought about my sneakers. Since I'm already a huge fan of tie-dye socks [4], I was utterly fascinated to see people take their stark white sneakers and give 'em a groovy makeover.

It was interesting to see all of the different techniques people used to tie-dye their sneakers. It was also really cool to see all of the different types of sneakers [5] people used, from Converse to Vans. Not gonna lie, my jaw did drop when I saw someone take a pair of Yeezy sneakers and dip them in the dye — Kanye would freak.
