Haha, thx Rdrex7, wouldnt have been possible if it werent for you

Just picked up my Fire Red 3's. I have to say they look AMAZING!! Pictures don't do them justice. On top of the great work, Peabrain is a super nice guy! Thanks so much!

Appreciate Sarnia, and I think these cements will turn out even better!

Question for you. I'm restoring some tour yellow 4s, should I just paint over the white leather or strip the paint first? Also for the yellow I have (from turtle feathers) its not the right shade, should I add black to it?

Are you trying to repaint the whole white leather exterior of the shoe? or just a small part?

And if the yellow is too light, add some black paint

If its too dark then add some white paint

Until you get the perfect shade

(add the paint in small amounts)

nice job

The whole leather upper

If you are doing the whole upper, I would suggest just lightly rubbing acetone everywhere you are going to paint

Just so you take off the top layer of paint but not everything

Hope this helps

'Sup peabrain! Very impressed with your work, all your restoration look like they're deadstock condition! I was just wondering if you buy new laces or keep the ones on the shoe? If you keep them, what's your restoring process on the laces?

I sent him a PM, he should post up some pictures soon

Thanks James!

I always keep the original ones the shoes come with, I just deep clean them

For white shoe laces I mix a little bleach (comet), dish soap, hot water and the laces in a bottle

And I just shake the bottle whenever Im watching TV, on the computer or just lounging around

I repeat this process a couple of times depending on how dirty the laces are

 

[jamesq]

Alright gotcha. So what do you do when a lace has a broken anglet at the end of the lace?

I've actually never encountered that

Im sure there's a way to repair that though,

Or worst case scenario I guess I'd just buy another set of laces

This is what it looked like before. Can't take too much credit. Peabrain helped me out. I just used the Lincoln EZ Cleaner

This is what it looked like after:

alright sweet, thanks a lot man!

Also peabrain, I saw some crumbling in the back of my other sneaker. What's that about and any way to prevent it or even fix it?

Like midsole crumbling?

If so, Im pretty sure its unsalvageable, the only thing you could do is have a midsole swap done

so what is it about? What causes it and is there anything I can do to slow it down or stop it? It's only a little crumbling but i want to do what I can.

Basically foam midsoles tend to dry out over time, thus leading to cracking

The cracking will only get worse over time, if you try to wear the shoe, mostly likely, it will crumble completely

But like I mentioned before, you can have a midsole swap done and then they will be wearable again

I see, thanks man.
