I found the Thingiverse model (thing:2007579) and really enjoyed printing the original but it was made for a character so it was designed really wide and a little short. I uploaded the file into Simplify3d and changed the dimensions around to keep the detail but make it a more accurately sized and proportioned model! This now looks and feels like the real shoes.
This time around I went with different and more color correct paint and much finer brushes! I have also included some pictures of the original model side by side with my remixes version!
Original info:
“Charactor : Happy Crotch
Illustrator : Han Lee
Model : Stanley Chen
Color : Le Kuo
We made these sneakers and board for the figure character "Happy Crotch".
You can print these for your Happy Crotch or any other toys you have.
Enjoy the details of the models!”

Notes:
For some reason the model will print and inside the shoe it will have a one or two layers inside the shoe. I punched this hole open and sanded inside the shoe.
For this project i used filler primer, acrylic paints: red, yellow, green, blue, and white.
Spot putty is your friend and wet sanding!
Filler primer and spot puty and wet sanding. You may also want to wear gloves!
The original model had a center piece inside that i removed using meshmixer. Sadly for some reason the model still prints one or two layers inside the shoe but is easily punched out. I edited the width, length, and height using Simplfy3D.
