this may be tough because its a light shade. so what i would do is get that swede cleaner i just talked about and try that. it may discolor the shoe a little,in that case clean the whole toebox so its all the same color.
hope this helps.

Hey, to remove silver marker off of suede, use nail polish remover and hairspray. Works perfect!

if you look closer it seems that the foam is starting to crack. cracks in the paint are only surface and you would be able to see the white foam midsoles stillbeing very solid. i have a feeling they are starting to crack and they're probably black/grey iv's from '99. iv's are painted poorly lately,but the earlier retro's don't have this problem. so if you're thinking of getting these, i wouldn't just because the problems only going to getworse.

I used hairspray first, but what really worked was the nail polish remover. Use a black shirt you don't want so no white lint gets on the suede. I'llshow pics later, they look as good as they did when I first bought them. Blot the nail polish remover on the suede, then keep scrubbing it until its off.

It was the nailpolish that worked well. I used hairspray, but nailpolish is what prevailed in the end. I used a black t-shirt to apply it so nowhite lint would get on the suede. Blot it at first, then scrub everywhere the silver marker is on. Mind you this is silver sharpie that they use to autographmemorabilia. The whole shoe had silver blots, I thought they were done. I used this method and now look, good as new literally. It did not affect the suede atall.Originally Posted by jakecuevas

seems like this question and the other popular questions are "how to apply bar keepers friend". just like the back tabs of theiii's, patent leather can't be fixed with sea glow or anything else. it's a process that once it starts can't be reversed. if you're reallydesperate you can consider painting them but i would strongly advise against it.

Should I store my XIs in a ziploc or is it unnecessary?

yea i would go with what you have, you don;t wanna scrub to hard cause you could F up the material...just go lightly....follow the bottle directions.
