thanks bro, I used RIT blue colored dye. But you can use any color you'd like. My boy wanted his pair all white with a purple sole. Turned out goodOriginally Posted by rossh123
great post. i got a question, for the powder dye what color did you use?Originally Posted by sthebest
Thanks guys. It's funny how people said I originally ruined my Concords when I first posted pics in the restoration thread with my crappy old cameraAnywho, no the dye doesnt fade. Trust me, I put it to the test by scrubbing the hell out of the soles on the Concords multiple times with a SOS pad and even using straight bleach the excess dye. It's permanent if done right.
This is what you want to do
1.) Mix a small 1/2 cup of 2/3 sea glow and 1/3 powder dye.
2.) Mix it together really well. The dye should dissolve into the sea glow (I usually make mines a little lumpy to get a deeper tint)
3.) Take a paint brush and carefully paint the soles. If it bleeds onto the midsole, then quickly wipe it away with a wet rag that has soap on it)
4.) Let sit for 5-10 minutes
5.) Whatever is not dissolved into the soles, just wipe away.
voila! blue tinted soles. I will be making a video tutorial sometime soon. no more yellowingI wore my Concords several times and theyve held up perfect. Ive also worn my anniversary XIs 1 time and they havent turned the slightest bit yellow. In fact, the sole is comparable to my Bred XIs
and yeah swagga you can do it to your worn pair. if you're shoes are yellowing, I would suggest seaglowing them before dyeing. I say this because blue + yellow = green. not a good look.

thanks for tut I may try on a pair of anniversary xi's. Other than that...I like clear soles without the blue tint better, especially on concords.

Great post.
You think this would work on dying patent leather??
Ive been trying to dye a pair of Hyperflights for the longest now but nothing has worked.

the white 11 looks to have a deeper blue tint than the spacejams
would u recommend doing this to ur jams while they are DS or after a wear or two
and also can u repeat the process to get a more rich deep royal blue ?

Yes you can repeat the process to get a deeper blue. I did 2 coats for my space jams and 3 for my anniversarys.
and yes whyte, you can use this proccess to dye your patent leater. some purple dye accidentally got on my boys anniversary XIs on the patent leather and it took serious elbow grease and acetone to remove.
