been looking all over the internet and havent found anything. any help would be appreciated, didnt have too much luck with the "sauce" method. in other news works great for soles and midsoles
have used it many times on older pair of i's and dunks
 
Yea, retrobrite doesnt work on heeltabs

Most people leave them yellow or they repaint it white
 
I've repainted them before, wasn't difficult. Just make sure you add duller to the paint. I've seen pros restore them, but they aren't giving up the secret. The repaint looked great, just don't know if it would hold up to daily use
 
painting is the only surefire way. airbrushing looks best, but brushing with many layers works too.
 
Someone posted somethin on the sneaker maintanance thread.. Dont remember what page tho

He basically taped everything off.. Including the jmpman andnthe "air" And spray painted it.
 
Try teeth whitener works on midsoles. Or tape off everything and try melatonian spray paint or angelus should work!
 
retrobrite should work as long as the tab is rubber and not painted white, if so it should work because retrobrite was made to deoxidize plastic to its original color and if the tab is plastic it should work.
 
THAT SAUCE STUFF DOES NOT WORK!!!  It made my backtabs worse...
