[Mr Dink]

I know it's not a Jordan but no one's really responding in the Kobe thread. Any idea how I can clean this?

 

[619destroyer858]

any homemade ingredients to remove the tough stains?

NO SARCASM here just being honest,,,its called buy a new pair,,seriously bro,,thats Vans not worth it to restore or clean

 

[619destroyer858]

whats the BEST glue to use for a minor separation?

 

[tychaffin123]

​hey I was just about to use some retrobrite and i was wondering how much does that dry out the soles of your shoes, can anybody answer that for me 

 

[tychaffin123]

T would use barge infinity cement

 

[futuredds]

NT I need your help.

Recently wore my flu games and noticed that they are starting to separate (pics included). I tried super glue but it looks like it made things worse (white spot on the front of the shoe). Is there anything that I can do to fix the issue and get rid of the excess super glue?

 

[ty chaffin]

Just get some fingernail removal polish in a Q tip and rub it off

 

[ty chaffin]

Can anybody tell me how much sea glow or retro brite dry out the Soles of shoes

I am wondering if there's a possible fix for these unworn Concord 11s...

I mean if you want to do a full midsole separation, un stitch the whole shoe , copy , cut and re sow a new patent piece and then re glue the midsole.....you probably can.
Thats a ton of time, effort and skill I personally dont have tho.
I cant imagine sending it to someone to have them do it would be any more cost effective than just buying a newer pair.

Working on this 01 bc3 sole swap. Are there midsole width sizing differences between 7y and 7 mens? Both 7y donors that I've tried were too thin for the 01 outsole. Any input would be appreciated thanks

My playoff XII's from 04 are experiencing some sole seperation...what's best glue and how long do I wrap them so it sticks?

 

[titanium tea]

My 2012 trainers have been through hundreds of beatings.

So i cleaned em with my laundry room instead of reshoven8tor cause im cheap and old.

Close enough

So i got these from a recent ebay buyer and their worn once indoors and their in excellent condition. Everything is perfect except these weird stains. Not scuff marks because you could only see them in a certain angle towards light etc. I tried cleaning them with angelus easy cleaner and tried acetone and hand sanatizer. They dissapear when their wet or when i clean them but when it dries it pops right back out. Its not that big of a problem but its frustrating because it looks like i havnt cleaned them or something. Dont get me wrong they look brand new but if i can just get these weird marks/stains off they would look much better, any help please? thanks

A quick warning to those who have clear soled kicks

Grease and Oil will yellow your soles fast as ****.

Was changing my car battery yesterday in a auto store parking lot and stepped around in an area where folks flushed their oil and the pavement soaked it up.

Got home took off my Supreme 5s and noticed grease all over both soles quickly picked and scrubbed what I could off but a yellow tint was left over

So just a quick heads up y'all

 

[oddandtwisted]

good looking out

 

[dapperdan843]

Please help !! What can I do to fix!? If even it can be fixed

 

[ogmcmxcii]

What's the problem

 

[mos definition]

Scratch on the toe box? If so then I think you're only option would be to repaint

 

[jena4]

Someone heellppp please. Do i have to repaint or is there a fix?

 

[goombaz]

Can somebody help me please , i have tried everything ( alcoho,l magic eraser, acetone) the only think that worked a little is acetone but it keeps coming back right after. I Heard that is the ink from the receipt...

Mix some oxy clean powder with some 40 volume or higher peroxide cream. Cover the spot you spread the mixture on with plastic wrap. Leave them out in the sun for like 30 mins and then wash it off. Repeat until clear. Take care not to get it on any other spot besides the spot you're trying to clear up.

This may work for your issue.
