Dying sneakers.

Alright, So I just bought a pair of Nikes that are white and neon green. They are sick shoes but a little over the top with the colors.
What is the best way to go about dying the white to grey or something so the shoes are a little less obnoxious?

or get a sharpie paint marker from an art store
i did a project in art and i bought cheap nikes from winners and got sharpie paint markers
( sharpie oil based markers are the real name) and my shoes look so pimp and the color doesnt rub off and shit and i actually wear them and they look legit

i wouldnt spray paint them. Me and a friend did that, and half the paint had chipped off by the end of the week. I think you can airbrush them or something. I'll check with my friend but I think thats what its called

Thanks, that actually helped a lot.
To everybody else: I got them for cheap at a store that sells all the b-stocks and overstocks of other stores. I like them now, but I think they would look a lot better with a little change up to the color scheme.
