It's probably been asked but will dye and water work similar to seaglow?

Ended up not doing the Hyperflights bc I couldnt find the right color green to use.
Excuse the sloppiness on some of the midsoles, still havent cleaned them. I used royal blue on the xvis and xi's. I was going to use navy blue but it didnt look right. The xvis remind me of the Bibby PE's.
I couldnt get the low xvis to get as red as the blk/red xvis for some reason. I did a second coat on them, let it sit for longer and it still wasnt getting any darker.
Might do this to my pair of white red Vs.

The dye on the midsoles of the xis is hard to get off. The foam most suck the dye all the way thru.
Acetone took most of it off but its still noticeable.
Most likely going to have to hit it with shoe polish.

They look sick inperson. I havent wore them in yrs bc I didnt care about them. Now I cant wait to wear them.
I think the red is darker bc the soles were pretty clear.
I thought about seaglowing the lows before using the dye but I didnt even bother. I barely wear them to begin with.

AMAZING job OP! Mad heads gonna bite your idea now. Thanks for being so honest and helping out the community. The question that really needs to get answered though is...
Can using seaglow and a RIT color remover make yellowing PATENT LEATHER more white? OR
Is there any way that you can whiten up yellowing patent leather (on Columbia XI's for example)?
Someone must know an answer to this, so if you do, please chime in!

If I can find Rit Color Remover in a store, I'll try it pretty soon on some XV1's and XI's. I have a good amount of Sea Glow at home.

great job! but I noticed a few things
1.) dye job on the snakes is way too heavy. you should try taking off some of the dye and possibily sea glow to get rid of those yellow spots.
2.) ALWAYS clean the dye off the midsoles of XIs. the material soaks up the dye like a sponge if it sits for minutes on end.
3.) I dont even like XVIs but they look ILL with red soles, particularly the Black/Reds (they remind me of an updated Bred XI for some reason)
4.) For a deeper red, try mixing a sprinkle of black dye with the red dye you're using. You should be able to get a deeper red then. It looks like you're using Scarlet, which is a brighter red in the color spectrum.
im about to work on a few shoes for Ardeeas and Roll so look for pics of those soon. Someone asked me if sea glow and rit color remover removes yellowing in patent leather. The answer is maybe so. I got dye on the leather of my boys anniversary XIs and NOTHING was getting it off. I mixed rit color remover and sea glow and rubbed it on the patent leather. Sure enough, the dye started coming off. If it can do that to dye, then im sure it can take off yellowing.
Btw, I have a before and after pic of the Wii AF2. Ill post it later on tonight. You can really see the difference.

If anyone can test this out with some older shoes with yellowing white patent leather, that would be great.
For those of you wondering, I was doing google searches on how to clean up yellowing white patent leather. I couldn't find much, but what I did find was that you are supposed to mix 1/3 bleach with 2/3 water and use a cotton ball to apply to the patent leather to get the yellowing off.
Well, I tried this with by beat up Jordan III "Pure$" and it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the piss-yellow patent leather.
All it did was make my fingers stank like bleach.
