I’ve never tried this, but looks fun:

Looks like your outsoles are darkish rubber, so I wouldn’t worry about the dye staining them.
I would remove the laces and insoles first, and you’ll want to wash thoroughly after. You probably won’t want to wear white socks with them for a while.
You could use a typical natural fiber dye (Rit is the only brand I know, but claims to be all-purpose) or indigo dye. Indigo dying is a bit more involved from what I’ve heard, but can get much darker and lasts longer.
This. It’s called “overdye” sometimes.
As a bonus, you can invite your friends to dye stuff at the same time. Do it in a bucket. Got something that’s stained? Dye it!
