There's lots of videos on shoe repainting on Youtube. Make sure you buy good paint, bad paint will just chip off even faster than the original.

Do you recommend chipping of all the paint or just painting whats already chipped?

All of it, the whole midsole. Obviously not the rubber parts though. Get it back down to a clean slate, a fresh palate. Don't chip it off, I think you're supposed to use acetone to get it off. Don't quote me on that, i'm not too sure about the acetone.

go to a beauty shop (sallys etc) and get some 40 hair volumizer (has high % peroxide so be carefull to not get it on your skin it may burn you) and then heat it up a little bit in the microwave (like 15 seconds) and then add Oxyclean and mix together. Some people put corn startch as a thickening agent so that it stays on the soles instead or running. then apply to your soles and use indoor or outdoor methods appropriately. its easy just try not to get it anywhere that you dont want ruined cuz that high % peroxide will mess up almost anything.

take some side shots of them sitting on the ground so we can see how clear they look when on feet, oh and how sweet would that pair in mid top be?

Question, I picked up some LIDS water and stain repellent for my fitteds, but I ended up using it on my J's is this stuff ok to use on shoes? I haven't noticed any issues yet, but its only been a few days, will this stuff harm any materials on my shoes? I sprayed all my clear and white sole shoes, I did notice though on my low top 11 that it made the patient leather a lil less shiny? Any info will be much appreciated, would like to spray the whole collection if its safe.

No discoloration at all, but on my 11's it did dull the patient leather though, I tried cleaning it off but that **** is strong! Will not come off for ****! Guess I will have to wait for it to wear off

id either try to get it off and if that doesnt work id make both shoes match by spraying them both.
