whats the best way to restore the black, as you can see its faded away.
let me know here or send me a pm please

You can try shoe cream (black) and buffer the creme onto the faded area. its used for formal shoes.

i see, where can i get some cream,

btw, what you mean by buffer. double

i bought some IIIs of ebay that have been stored in ziplock bags, ive read everywhere that if they are kept in ziplock bags that they dry out and crack whenworn. if i leave them out of ziplock bags for a period of time will the moisture re-absorb into the shoes and be wearable? thanks

I need some help on mixing colors.

I bought acrylic paint for my True Blue IIIs but I notice its a slight lighter than the colors of the IIIs

So I wanted some help on where to get the same exact color for them or how to mix with what colors with the paint I already have.

The paint I bought

Trying to get to this color



Also is it okay for me to use acrylic paint for the sole and back tab?

[retrourfeet]

YO NEED HELP ON TYPES OF PAINTS TO USE ON SOLES??????????????
name brand, etc

 

[ydbounce]

could a soft hair brush substitute for a tooth brush for sneaker cleaning purposes?
and could i use it on Nubuck?
I dont want to compromise the integrity of the shoe with the footlocker scrub.
it seems like it'll rough up any fabric.

 

[sneakerhead401]

How do I use Bar Keepers Friend on the mesh of my XI? just rub it in with water?

 

[windycity58]

post your clean.ups in here.. or restorations...

SneakerHead401 , If you have a brush or toothbursh [i would go for a hard brush ] apply BKF and scrub away .
I always apply a bit of sap so wen i clean it off i wouldnt go over it with water again...

[daaznfella]

can somebody PLEASE help me with how you're supposed to remove glue from patent leather? and i'm sorry but i have NO CLUE as to what type of glue itis, i know that it cracked and came off of the clear sole very easily....

 

[marley]

Testimonial: just got done using Barkeeper's Friend on the mesh of my concords. let me tell you folks this stuff is amazing! I was jumping for joy afterthis! I had a VVNDS pair of concords that hadnt seen daylight in a couple years but when I opened the box the mesh was yellow as hell, looked like a dog peedon em. After barkeeper's friend they are snow white again. 2 bucks at my local grocery store and they are like new again.

 

[teflandon]

If there is a slight crack on the patented leather of a pair of XI's, can i find a way to plug it in/fix it (I know it sounds dumb

but worth the ask)?If not, then when I wear the sneakers, will this crack spread and/or effect the ability to wear the shoe in the future?

 

[optimusp517]

what do you mean by plugging?

 

[nkey07]

I bought a pair of nds V's and they have started to yellow. I keep them in a cool closet with two silica packets in them, but I'd like to get the solesback to how they were. when it comes to reversing the yellow is sea glow the only option?
