:::OFFICIAL SNEAKER CARE/MAINTENANCE POST::: (It's back!)

[sneakerboy13]

hey RICO7JT, in regards to help with your sea glow attempts, let me tell you what works for me when i apply it to my xi's...

steps:
1. wash the soles with soap and water before applying any seaglow!!! (use a toothbrush and rag to really scrub the soles and rid them of any excess dirt on thesoles.)
2. get some paper towels and fold them several times to make a pad for the seaglow. Drop a small amount of sea glow on the paper towels. ( several drops or so,enough to spread thinly and evenly on the yellowed areas.
3. Now, really work the seaglow into the soles by spreading the paper towel onto the soles.. (Also, after the paper towel, i use a toothbrush to just spreadthe liquid around and to get it nicely coated on the soles.)
4. MAKE SURE THAT THE SEA GLOW DOESNT RUN ONTO THE PATENT LEATHER AND DRY THERE!!! (this can leave stains if not taken care of within a short period of time.)
5. take the shoes out side and place them under direct sunlight. (dont worry about the temp, it doesnt have to be hot outside to work, its all about the directrays from the sun, so make sure that sunlight is accessbile).
6. Leave them there for 30 min. under the sunlight. You will results at this point!!
7. wait another 30 minutes.
8. Now, go check them out and they should look considerable better!!!
9. you can now repeat the process if you would like to. (not necessary but for some extreme yellowed conditions, this is a good step to take!!)
10. After you are finished, take the shoes inside and wash off the seaglow with soap and water, and scrub them down just like you began in step 1.
11. now you are finished and the soles should look much, much better!!!

good luck and pm me if you have any other questions.

Would Mr. clean magic eraser be good for cleaning up mid and out soles on these? I heard ajax would work also but i don't want to take any chances ofscrubbing the paint off the midsole. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

 

[zkingofjays]

Have you tried water and a rag? Or bleach?

 

[fireflyandfia]

I tried ajax on my airforce ones and they leave them fresh and a bit wrinkle but still good though

How do you unfog the airsole for nikes? I tried the Blowdryer trick, that didn't really work... The reason is I have the OG Foam Max and still ds, I lookedat it to sell but they were fogged up like the SFO runway, anything you guys think would really work? Thanks

Hey guys, I wore my XXs in the rain by accident (forecast hadn't called for it) and unfortunately that coupled with some pretty decent use has resulted inthe strap not staying on well. Is there any way to restore the velcro? or is there a place where you could send/take them to be fixed? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
