Bravo, Did you break the soles off with your hands because it was just that brittle because they are both 20+ years old?  I was informed to use a heat gun in order to make sure the midsole comes off cleanly to protect the upper from getting damaged.  Love the OG's, great work.  Could you do a video of removing the donor sole? Curious how gentle you need to be in order to remove the midsole cleanly without damaging any part of it. 

I have a pair of 99 white cement IV's where the netting has yellowed and the stitching has also gotten dark and dirty.  Ive cleaned the shoe many times but cant get rid of the darkened stitching and yellowed netting.  Also I have a pair of Columbia XI's, the upper mesh is slightly fadded and dirty.  I own barkeepers friend soft cleanser.  What I'm getting at is, is it ok for the netting and stitching on the IV's, also will it whiten the leather? and for the the Columbia's mesh?  I've heard mixed reviews but read that it must be washed out multiple times in order for it to work without any residue left behind.  These two pairs are very dear to me, both wearable.

Can any one help? I was cleaning my retro5 grapes when I noticed that the paint started to chip off is there any way I can make it back to normal?

I recently bought some Jordan Raging Bull Vs red suede, but the suede is really faded. does anyone know which color suede dye I should use? (from turtlefeathers.net) there is dark red and red? any help is appreciated and also how do you apply to dye them?

hey guys,

ive read through this and seeing different methods used on suede. Im looking to clean up some scuff marks on my 4's (breds thunders etc) and ive heard that using a brush and a magic eraser (without liquid) is the best way to go as liquid can leave marks. Sound about right?
