I just go some lebron 7 red carpets for a steal. They were in nds condition except for a scratch on the toe box. I thought I could clean it up a bit and ended it making it worse. Any way I can fix it up or make it less noticeable?

that looks like the paint is stripped, most likely would need to touch it up with paint

hey
what did you use to strip your paint ?
After general cleaning and using salon care to whiten sole. Stripped the paint I'll post pics when done. I might keep whitening the sole even more

has anyone had their suede/nubuck shoes bleed somewhat onto the white paper in the box? I just pulled out my DB 3's to put them in a ziploc and noticed a little red spot on the paper...

use very fine sandpaper (finishing sandpaper) and repaint with white and you might have to do the whole toe/all parts that are white that are touchingI just go some lebron 7 red carpets for a steal.

When I was out getting some salon care 40 today for whitening that others have suggested, I saw a bottle of 50. Does anyone know if that would be more effective? Or should I just stick with 40?

Gotta grab some RIT cleaner and clean up the mesh and possibly some retrobrite to make the soles icy again. Any other or better methods aside from RIT cleaner to clear the mesh again?

^ Is that just the paint that's cracking or the actual midsole?

That's the beginning of the end then. Those tiny cracks will gradually get bigger even if you don't wear them, and eventually they'll begin crumbling.

As far as I know there's no fix for midsole cracking that's in progress. Sorry man :\.
I had a pair of OG Military Blue IV's (my grails) that were in near perfect condition but started to crack out of nowhere and got bad pretty fast. This was before sole swapping was even heard of so I got rid of them before they got to the point where I wouldn't be able to sell them. I kick myself everyday for selling em
