Doctoring Fire Red 3s.

[haydenhouser]

There was a post around the time the Fire Red & Flip 3 release

talking about making the elephant print on the Fire Red pair not

as dark. If anyone has info on what I'm talking about let me know.

It made it look more like the elephant print on the other three OG

colorways.

here's my pair after the process


to do it, take a bowl of water and add a small amount of acetone. then take a rag and dip into the water. then wipe off the elephant print with the wet rag. you should start seeing black ink on the rag. dont freak out..this is normal. afterwards, let the elephant print dry.

repeat 2-3 times and I think you'll be pleased.

dag those look good.... do you think i should do it with my true blue 3's?

i just copped a pair for a low price. they cleaned up real good, but they'd be good for an experiment like this.

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]
