It's not the patent leather. The rubber sole got the ink stain

Is it bad to mix Angelus with other paint other than Angelus? I finally found the perfect match for my 1999 cement 4s but I don't have a yellow or red so I had to use gouache paint orange paint 
. Will it affect he midsole if I use part Angelus & gouache paint?

What are the stains from? Try Magic Eraser

You can mix Angelus depending on what other brand it is

Should I clean my III's midsole with wipes? Do they have to be unscented and alcohol free?

First of all the shoe is a white bottom shoe so you are going to get weird marks. Just deal with it. Second of all you don't need a wet eraser. That Mr. Clean stuff has never worked for tough stains and I don't understand why people keep mentioning it because that chemical agent may be removing paint as well. You need a DRY eraser such as a New Balance eraser. You might even be able to grab a white one from your lil sister pencil box or something. And then scrub away.

^ Magic Erasers don't have any chemical compounds in them. It's just a specially engineered foam that's rough but not too abrasive. While they can remove paint from more delicate surfaces, using them on soles/midsoles is safe.

If the Magic Eraser isn't getting rid of those pink marks, I doubt any other type of eraser will.
Try high concentration rubbing alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover) on a Q-Tip. That might work.

That looks like a set stain sorta like dye. You might want to try that acetone method that nick mentioned, if that doesn't work try some retrobrite.. work case scenario you might have to try some Angelus magic.... good luck!!!

hey guys i got a pair of cool grey 11s from a trade today. Im trying to clean them up but i cant find an efficient way to remove this dirty layer on top of the patent leather. The only thing that works so far is actually scrapping it off with a screwdriver. Ive tried a bunch of things like polish remover, a brilo pad, and different brushes. Can someone please help???

I got these brand new and there are these strange brown marks on the midsole. I'm not exactly sure what it is and I'm pretty sure it is not paint loss. I've tried multiple ways to remove it, including dish washing soap, jason markk, scrubbing it, alcohol, nail polish remover, eraser. Nothing is really working. Any help would be appreciate it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If its like a shoe dye or a cheap paint of some sort, which it looks like it is, you can use some Acetone, however that will dull the patent shine. But from the pic and just using logic, I'd think that the patent effect might be gone already, which is why dude painted them, or he didn't like the shine.
Acetone though, but test a spot that is NOT in the front my dude

Anyone know how to restore fading of the suede? Is it even worth trying?
