"You're a sneakerhead from what I've heard," singer [1] and TikTok star Dixie D'Amelio [2] said to Hailey Bieber toward the end of their interview for The Early Late Night Show, gesturing toward the Nike Air Force 1s [3] Bieber arrived in. While the girls settled in on the couch to talk about the pros and cons of being in the spotlight as well as Hailey's latest projects, the sneaker conversation sparked excitement and they headed over to Dixie's DIY [4] table.
What ensued was a messy game of crafts, where Hailey and Dixie exchanged sneakers and customised Air Force 1s for one another. "I have a feeling these are never gonna make it to your feet, but that's OK," Dixie eventually said, analysing the new sequin-covered sneakers she'd made for Hailey — a far cry from the crisp white kicks Hailey wore onto set.
Hailey's creation for Dixie was much more streamlined, with a lime-green upper and simple black swoosh. Thankfully, both styles can be rocked just as well with the all-leather outfits they coordinated for their segment, although that would mean Dixie would have to kick off her platform Doc Martens [5]. Scroll to get a play-by-play of the entire scene at hand, then do as Dixie and Hailey did and DIY your own pair of shoes using the essentials we gathered to get the job done.
