CUSTOM SILVER ANNIVERSARY 11's

[dj proto j]

do you think further dyeing the new cool greys a deeper blue will prevent yellowing or make it not as apparent?

 

[kopnkicks]

^^They still yellow Proto they just look less noticeable. My SJs look hot with the blue bottoms but yellowing is inevitable.

 

[kob8]

These look good...Rather have blue tint then yellow......

 

[upandcoming]

looks best with annis

Interested to see what the Cool Grey's come out like without sea Glow, please post pics when finished.

Dying yellow soles will probably turn it into a greenish color, but curious to see the results.

This blue dye technique did wonders for the Anniversary XI's...I will consider this method if the Concords release.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm seriously not feeling the blue dye on the soles of the Space Jams; same goes for the Cool Greys as well.

 

[dark skinned jermaine]

i like em on SJ's

 

[maicolkickhead]

yellowing is inevitable but it will definitely slow down the process alot.

The Anniversary XIs I did for myself havent yellowed. And when you dye to sole, yellow makes the shoe look dirtier instead of discoloring the sole beyond belief. Think of the colored coat as a protective buffer. The more coats you add, the more resistant it is to oxidation

id seaglow those if I were you. your soles are either going to be too dark to cover all that yellow (from using water instead of seaglow) or theyll turn green from mixing with the oxidation (this will occur if you decide to use seaglow instead of water).

and about my boy's purple sole Anniversaries, sorry I dont have any more pics. My boy is stationed overseas and the shoes are here in the States. Ill try to get him to send me a pic of the soles.

Damn, would've loved to see the purple soles, I hope you can find 'em, been thinking about doing a red sole on my anni's.

 

[bamz]

ok, i wanted to know if i do this and i put to much of the color, how can i redo it back to it's icey but not blue sole. it may sound stupid but i want to know if i can turn back to start again

 

[kopnkicks]

You can't start all over from scratch and totally reverse it, but if you dye them too dark you can bleach them to a lighter shade of blue but not much lighter though. The dye is permanent. I would suggest doing a very light, watery coating of dye on the sole and continue to add more until you find a shade that suits you. Just make sure you dye both shoes at the same time so the two shoes dye evenly.

 

[bamz]

so i have to use seaglow with bleach together or bleach how?

 

[twenty four seven]

them raww.

 

[kopnkicks]

Just bleach is fine with a toothbrush or scrub brush of some sort. Do yourself a favor and be extremely careful with the bleach.

 

[mr jordan04]

i need to do this to my columbias. but the rest of the shoe is

 with the yellowness

Did you use rit dye and sea glow or just rit dye? I want the faintest light blue tint possible and I dont know which method is more effective. wish i could do without the sea glow and get good results.

Damn, I'm gonna have to try this on my Space Jams. That blue sole on them looks amazing to me.

Very nice job.  The annies look especially nice with blue.  I think I'm one of the few that thinks it is one of the best cw's.

 

[ebe2023]

so if you do this, after yellowing is it going to be yellow or will you have a green looking sole?

 

[rcjbbp1313]

did this to my space jams and annies also, the yellowed parts look a little better and i only slightly liked my annies before doing this and now i love them. they look like columbias now and my jams are nice too. thanks OP for the lookin out you saved my XI's!
