Have that same issue on mines. I just left it alone and I play ball in mines. The best way is to strip it and repaint it. You have to find a metallic/gold paint. I knew the name of a good one when I was gonna do mines but forgot.. Wasn't too happy with this version of the elites. Some rain got on it and discolored the toebox and Nike wouldn't even take them back
ok, you'd have to repaint it. Go to angelus paints and look for a metallic gold that would match that.

take nail polish remover or acetone on a quetip and just rub the gold swoosh until it starts to look dull or grey but be careful not to get it on the upper.
That's what I was thinking but which paint to use. Honestly think this shoe was poorly executed, overall
Now how would I strip it? Without messing something else up
I don't think it would do anything but to be safe you should tape it off with painters tape.
This and use hot water to get better results
first make sure that there is no further separation so you won't run into this issue again and this way you can get done at one time. Clean the area real well and scrape all the old glue,dirt etc.. you can use a xacto Nike to get in there, if the area is really small like it seems use the tip of your knife and apply the glue carefully so you won't smear that on the nubuck, just in case have a small rag and cleaner to wipe it off quick as soon as you get on the upper. Good luck!!
Can someone please help me by telling me how to reglue the toebox of my Metallic 5's. I already know what glue to use.
This...... Retape, and squeeze as much acetone as you can, try using absorbent pads rather than cotton swabs so its not that messy and you can handle tight edges better.. Also Xacto knife works wonder...
Fortunately for you all of the stuff pictured looks 100% repairable. You should scrap off the chipping paint before you repaint the forest green. As for the midsole, toe cap, and back tab retrobrite or some kind of sauce will clear that up in a couple of sessions. Hope I could have been of some help to you
Do you realize that the reason that thing is black is because these are fake?..the top left lace accent is black and should be cement grey. What is the method used to fix this? just want to get the exact color; if not close as possible?
Thanks
Take fingernail clippers and try to snip the scuffed up part off so it's flat again.Probably not possible, but is there anyway to fix this midsole of my Concord?
http://angelusdirect.com/products/collector-edition-white-cement should maybe work not entirly sure though if not you should add either white angelus or black until you find the right shade.
