Sora originally wielded a weapon resembling a chainsaw however, the weapon was not well received by Disney which led Nomura to redesign the weapon into a Keyblade. Nomura wanted neither as the protagonist of the game, and went on to design his own protagonist with the concepts of the Disney characters in mind, which resulted in the creation of Sora. However, he was not originally slated to be the protagonist, as Disney wanted Donald Duck to be the protagonist of the game, while Square wanted to have Mickey Mouse as the protagonist. This way, you can’t tell theres any “seams’ or whatever.ġ1) Very last step! I found some cardboard and cut two pieces of rectangles with rounded corners on the top, painted them grey to match the shoe laces, and once they were dry, I bent them so they’d fit around the toe of the shoe.Sora was designed by Tetsuya Nomura as the protagonist of Kingdom Hearts. The best parts to glue them down to is along the part where the black stretching around the shoe meets the black of the hump, to cover up the line, then go across where the yellow rectangular piece meets the black. All you have to do now is glue them down in an “X” shape. I also bought some buckles to put on each strap. I found a long strip of navy and measured it to wrap across the shoe. Then glue it all down!ġ0) Now you need to attach the straps. It needs to be unzipped pretty far in order for it to reach each side of the tongue. ![]() This is where you need to decide how far down you need the zipper to be unzipped. Begin glueing it down starting from the toe of the shoe, until you get to the middle. Measure the zipper and cut it to the length you need. This part is just trial and error until you get it just right.ĩ) Now you’re ready for the zipper! I just bought the biggest grey ones I could find and covered the sides with the bias tape. throughout this step, keep putting the shoe on to make sure it still fits. In order for the shoe not to completely fall off your feet when you wear it, you need to glue more of the tongue to the sides of the shoe. Glue the tape around the edges of the black strap around the back of the shoe, and then add some around the top of the shoe. I used this bias tape to make the white trim around different parts of the shoe. Make sure to add a little rectangle of yellow fabric in the middle of the top of the shoe.Ĩ) Now, i forgot to take pictures of the next few steps, but they’re really pretty simple. This will then be glued around the back of the shoe and connecting to the black in the middle of the shoe on both sides. Next, you need to cut out black fabric in the shape of what I’d call a “pointy bow”. Then get some black fabric, cut it into a small rectangle and glue it to the tongue, folding it over and gluing to the underside of the tongue as well. Use as much hot glue as you need to keep it secure.ħ) At this point, I realized that the tongue needed to be separate for the rest of the shoe and covered in black, so I gently pulled the yellow apart where it met in the middle and folded the fabric into the shoe. Make sure to use as much fabric you need so you can fold it over and glue it inside the shoe. I just cut out a fairly rectangular piece. My yellow fabric was too thin to not show the converse logo through it, so I covered the back half of the shoe in black first.Ħ) Now, cover the back half in yellow fabric. ![]() Make sure the part where the fabric meets is centered towards the center of the shoe, since it’ll be covered up by the zipper later.ĥb) This step is optional. (It doesn’t matter the color of this fabric).ĥa) Then you can cover the hump in black fabric. Try to make it so the hump is smooth for when you cover it in fabric later.Ĥ) Cover the hump in one layer of fabric, just to help keep things smooth. Use as much as you want until you’re satisfied. Secure everything in place by covering it in cling wrap. (You can use something other than fabric like paper if that’s more easily available to you, but keep in mind that it may cause crinkling noises when you walk in them.) ![]() You can look at references to figure out just how big it should be.ģ) Next, I wadded up some old spare fabric i had and stuck it in-between the wires and shoe. Get some bendy, but still strong, wire and bend it into the desired shape of the hump in the front of Sora’s shoe. Glue the sides of the shoe down to the tongue starting from the toe end, but only go about half-way, or you won’t be able to easily put the shoe on.Ģ). I started out with an old pair of converse that I never wore anymore. So this is a simple and easy way to do it! USES A LOT OF HOT GLUE!ġ). I’ve seen only a few others on sora’s shoes, but a lot of them had too many steps and complications for my patience level. Well, here’s my first tutorial ever, you guys.
