Old Nike Shoe-help anyone?

[DIY-Diva]

Hokay-so I have this dilema see, I have these old pair of trainers that still fit me so I could do a cool re-paint of them or something but I was wondering does anyone have suggestions for what to do with them? (I've already thought of flowerpots hehe) or just colour ideas or what to paint on them?
this is what they look like:

there is so much you can do, usually people just colour in following lines, my friend did it to his nikes but he's a good artost so instead of colouring all of it he put a permanent marker to it and did some funky designs, I think there were clours and robots....looked amazing because it was his style

and one says when you do them up, get some nice new laces to match =D

If you wanted to be chic, you could attach them to your wall, then get a stencil or vinyl cutout of a person. Have everything above the torso on the ceiling, and have the legs come down from the ceiling along the wall. The feet would of course be in the sneakers.

Easy ready-made/surrealist art.

First step, wash them.

After that, it's up to you. Not sure what paints etc. work on leather, though.
