Yep, but I would grab some white Angelus paint for the leather and midsole touchups. The stuff is awesome. There's a reason why everyone lives by it in this thread.
I'm actually going to touchup these midsoles again with white Angelus this afternoon.

Officially jacked up my Spizikes, King Countys. The left shoe is done. The wear condition is GREAT but the midsole/slight part of the upper is horrible now. Debating on whether to give away free or sell for DIRT CHEAP.
Edit: Pics.
RIP. Tried restoration on my own and it looked decent the first coat. I let my perfectionist tendency get the best of my and I went ahead and removed it all and then my hand slipped and I spilled some acetone/paint. Got most of it off but it still looks horrible. Lesson learned.

Nail polish remover should take the red paint residue off the patent leatherOfficially jacked up my Spizikes, King Countys. The left shoe is done. The wear condition is GREAT but the midsole/slight part of the upper is horrible now. Debating on whether to give away free or sell for DIRT CHEAP.

Wow. This post is so informative. Can anyone help w. this?
My cement IV's lace loops cracked and is starting to discolour. Is there anyway I can glue this back together? Also, any suggestions of bringing back the original grey to my lace loops?
Thanks!

You can glue it back but you should probably let the laces loose or not put it through the holes or it'll just break off again when you wear em

for this case I would use shoe-goo actually. because i can't think of any glue that will hold and still retain some form of flexibility. you certainly don't want to use crazy glue.

That would be really hard to glue because of how small it is. Your best bet would be shoe goo but I don't know how well that would work. And are those 99s?Wow. This post is so informative. Can anyone help w. this?

Yup. They're 99s. I'll give shoo goo a shot. Any suggestions on restoring/painting the lace loop back to the original grey?

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the color fading since they are older, but if you want to make the grey darker you could buy grey angelus paint and repaint it. To make it hold stronger you should probably cut a small piece of thin plastic and glue it behind the the lace holder so it's more solid.

@RickyRiebel @FrankW @Sgamon Thanks for your help. I'll take this all into consideration and give it a shot on this weekend. I'll post before after pics once completed. If anyone else wants to jump in with a suggestion, pls do so before Saturday.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Another way you can make sure it is secure is to find a 1mm micro drill bit and drill into the broken parts on both side from the break and then insert a 1mm pin (paper clip works) when you glue. This way you don't have extra plastic hanging outside but still adds strength to the bond. A trick from building model kits as a hobby.

Got some extra glue on my Kobe 8 IDs. For removal, would rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover do the trick?

Try sneaker cleaner or soap and water 1st and if you have already then rubbing alcohol or a tiny bit of nail polish remover should work...but for my glue stains I just use Jason MarkkGot some extra glue on my Kobe 8 IDs. For removal, would rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover do the trick?
