Bkf is serious. Do it right or lose the luster

That's why I only wear shorts or grey jogging pants with my Concords. I wouldn't use that BKF, it makes the mesh dull and will work just as bleach does by eventually turning it yellow. Just use a mild soap like woolite, then after you clean them stuff them in the box with some uncooked rice for a day or so to absorb all the moisture.

Thanks for the BKF and Rit info.....woolite sounds cool.
I got this from the local mall the other day. All natural. Does wonders on my others kicks....might try it on the mesh one day if need be http://www.shoemgk.com/
All I need is one more pair of Concords and at least one SJ then I'm moving on to the 13s and 4s

One of my all time favorites got one to rock and one to stock but damn these yellow so fast.. Only been a little more than a year and I'm already contemplating busting out the RIT on the mesh part. I don't care as much about the bottoms yellowing bc they touching pavement anyways but the upper is a whole diff story smh

What city you live in? I have no yellowing on my Mesh, and my bottoms are still pretty icey considering I wore them already.

75...that's awesome. Better than letting them yellow in the box. I need to start wearing my kicks. I live in Michigan so I really don't wear anything until spring/summer

Same I live in West Michigan and all this lake-effect snow, but when it's nice out even in the winter I'll break out my concords or breds if it's dry.

But that's not how you phrased what you said. Next time give better detail if you don't want to be misunderstood.

Ya the one thing I like about living here is the weather is usually good for wearing any pair of kicks (i.e. no rain/snow). And with the rate JordanBrand is going at, it'd dumb not to wear your kicks b/c they keep re-re-retroing everything anyways, that in 4 to 5 years these will release again.
Also, for those who've touched on it, I've heard RIT is the better way to go than BarKeepersFriend. I could be way wrong on this b/c I've never used BKF but I've heard if you don't do it right it can really Fup your shoes.

Bkf is great, if you use it properly. It can remove the luster from your mesh, and yellow them. If you don't over do it, and make sure you don't leave any on the mesh, you'll be fine. RIT doesn't work as well
