whats the secret to keeping the logo on the inner sole inside the shoe from rubbing off?

I would use blue painters tape if I actually cared because it won't leave any residue behind like packing tape can/probably will

I'll show you guys how to make a tape guard for the insole logo when I get home from work. Kinda hard to explain without pics.

I like seeing the logo on my foams, so I just use clear packing tape...

It's really not that difficult, you just have to maneuver a bit depending on how that part of the shoe is shaped.

I recently found my Jordan Retro IX lows white-white/chrome at my parent's house when going thru bunch of junk. I have cleaned them up pretty well so far, I need to do anoher session with Reviver on the toe caps and outsoles to make them even whiter. I was just wondering if you guys have any tips for getting the patent leavather whiter. It was alot worse so I have been able to get it a little whiter....and for some reason these pictures make the PL look pretty white. Thank's NTer's

Also Does anybody have any idea how or who I can get to fix this?

Guys I was able to get a hold of these babies..what do y'all recommend to clean them up? Thank you in advanced

Would salon 40 or solesauce work best?

I tried looking for that rit product for the midsoles but can't find any.

Salon 40 will do the job, outdoor method is faster but may get some sole separation , indoor method take sever hours to days, but its safer... Don't fall for those secret sauce bs

I did it on my XII by applying the adhesive in the gap with a tooth pick and then taping it down with blue painters tape. I didn't take a picture of the process but here's a picture of work prior to the toe area
