I am going to dye a pair of the white and orange Full Tilt Drop Kicks, and I was wondering if there was any way to do a pattern, such as camo, or zebra print. I would like some tips, thoughts, and ideas on how to do this task.

For try to do patterns, either use thick tape such as duct tape, or even hot glue. Hot glue will more likely work but takes more work to do but can make more exact patterns. Try not to soak dye on other colors than white as it can cause discoloration on other colors. Got it on my light blue tongue and it discolored it a bit but I don't really care. Hopefully this helps, I'm not an expert on this. Honestly, I don't recomend doing it unless you really want to and have nothing to lose

If I use hot glue, wouldn't it come off because I'm using hot water with the dye

Personally I've never tried it, a friend did and it worked whatever way he did it. I would stick with duct tape or something

You've probably already came across this, but it has some good tips for just dying in general (without a pattern)

The hot glue won't come off unless you want it to. I dyed my old lacrosse stick and used hot glue for patterns and it worked fine.
