Would retrobrite actually bring back the varsity red color on the soles of flu game 12's? Mines have that orangish hue.

Only way to find out is if you try it. im sure it would work 

Glad this thread is up and running again!

Anyone ever dyed patent leather before?

 

[jesucio69]

I'm gonna repaint my motorsport 6s, is there a flat paint I could buy to paint the front part of the shoe? Or how would I go of doing that? & can i paint over the leather paint or do i have to strip that paint as well?I still have to strip the paint on the midsole, RIIT the tounge and uncrease them alittle more, anything else would help thanks

I heard those suede/nubuck erasers work for that

Bought these to throw inside my shoe. Hopefully it'll make it more fresh. Anyone ever heard of sneaker balls or used it before?

Oh crap yes you did. Haha thanks. I went into a shoe store and went into the shoe odor accessory section and it kind of rung a bell in my head it sounded familiar totally forgot you were the one who mentioned it. 

 

[sir charles]

it's chill man

Open them up and put them in your shoes. Then put the shoes in their box and leave them in there over night. Works wonders

Hello wanted a little insight on what I can use to cover this scuff, it's not heavy and u can't feel it , more like it wasn't dyed right thanks

 

[crystalmethod]

^lol Wth.. I woudve returned them joints..
Maybe try a leather cleaner?

 

[sir charles]

Non-gel toothpaste can be used to clean rubber outsoles. Just figured that working with my Olympic 6s

Mr Clean Magic Eraser? 

 

[sourkush]

It's more like its not dyed verse a mark

 

[sir charles]

Dye it then?


RIT liquid dye, black, on a q-tip or something and dye the area that is messed up.

 

[rcjbbp1313]

get a leather repair kit it will cover that up easily

 

[monday]

How do you make midsoles on blazers more white ? Tried magic eraser to clean off dirt and did soap and water brush

They are clean just not very bright /white , any suggestions ? Thanks

 

[sourkush]

Ahh thanks for the tips NT

Im in the same boat with you but seems like nobody knows or cant help

I'm sure this has been asked numerous times in here, but as the thread's gotten so big and the search function isn't really working as well as it should I'll just go ahead and ask my question and hope someone might be able to help me out.

My 2000/2001 Air Flare (Agassi) is suffering a bit of outsole separation at around the toe-area.  The outsole is rubber (obvs), while the upper is some sort of softish leather/pleather.  Is Shoe Goo the way to go?  Not sure if there's any foam deeper inside/around that area that I can't see, but will the Shoe Goo eat into those materials, as some adhesives tend to do?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.  Thanks.

Not that sure for the Flare's, but I've worked on several of my AMs using Shoe Goo and it didn't mess up any materials inside. HTH somehow

Nobody has really tried doing that. I never plan to. Dying patent leather will take out all of its shine.

I remember there was a post that broke down how to clean each specific pair of Jordan Retro.

Anyways, what are you guys using to remove that "ash" look on the 6's and 8's? Highly annoying on my Infrareds and Aquas.

so this explains why his patent leather isnt shiny anymore?
