I'm not sure how the shoe itself would react to the dying process, but if you decide to do this don't use a cheap store-bought dye like Rit. It will turn the shoes more purple than black. There is a combination of colors you are supposed to use to get true black. I think it is Cobalt Blue and one other color - I will try to find that info.

Here is a good dye product site, you can probably start your research from here. Dharma Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes

I would also suggest contacting Nfinity and asking them for suggestions.

They are an incredibly helpful bunch!

The color wheel page I bookmarked has been removed. I will PM a couple of links that may help. But in general, find a good Procion dye and you won't need to mix colors.

This process will not be inexpensive or easy. You would want to dye all of the team's shoes at the same time to save money by buying in bulk and make sure the results are consistent. Using these dyes also requires that you use other chemicals/additives in the process, to set the dyes - don't skip that part. And there is still a question as to how the non-fabric parts of the shoe will react.
