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

[plainandrew]

Hey sorry for asking but I need an advice on water repellent for the Jordan 1 Banned 2016. I read that crep protects cause change of color on the black leather.

Do you guys recommend another brand that has been tested on the Jordan 1?

Thanks 

 

[oddandtwisted]

water repllenet for what? they leather they should be fine

 

[ksi01]

Any tips on removing this? I tried towel/ironing but no dice

 

[booker36]

Is there anyone in here that can restore these? If so how much and where are you located? DS 1993 Air Jordan IX.

 

[waitwut]

I cleaned some dirt off the toe box of my 2016 banned 1s.  Now the red on the left shoe is a lighter shade.  Can the paint come off during normal cleaning?

Depends on what products you're using. I remember using that foam stuff from one of the footie stores took some paint of my royals. Now I only use Jason Markk on all my 1s, at least the uppers.

I used a product called refreshed.  It's been pretty good on all my other shoes.  Never had an issue until today.  I just cleaned the other shoe to make the toe boxes match.

Those are one of those mall kiosk cleaners. I never mess with them or let them clean my shoes.

 

[jkhcmc]

Yeah.  I learned the hard way.  The second shoe looks worse.  I really F'ed this up.

Any household items I can use to semi clear up translucent soles on some Black Metallic 5s?  

If not, anything outside of Sea Glow someone can recommend?

 

[aychd]

Can someone please recommend me to someone who restores sneakers really well preferably in the NYC area. Specifically to glue back my midsoles on my pair of 11s.

If u just need to glue midsole u can do it yourself for the cheap. Barge cement and a heat gun will probably run u $50 for both

 

[someone12345]

any idea of how i can remove this? can i use acetonee? will it damage the leather?

 

[a100o]

is Jason marks OK to clean with on the air Jordan 4 premium snakeskin? if I were to clean the bottom soles what would be the best? would common sneaker cleaner from footlocker cause any harm? in regards to separation down the road or yellowing?

 

[skep]

nothing special about the snakeskin as far as cleaning goes. JM or standard spray cleaner from shoe store would be fine.

 

[a100o]

yeah I figured, I am most concerned about taking care of the premium leather and white mid soles. thanks for the reply

 

[skep]

just dont get aggressive and dont use the hard brush

Shrink wrapping shoes good or bad? Thank you

 

[NowForeverAlways]

Shrink wrapping shoes good or bad? Thank you

Bad. Dries them out.

 

[mooney44]

Bad. Dries them out.

Thank you. I like how they look so i think i will just put big holes in them so it can breath. I think should be good so it does not dry out. 

 

[aychd]

might've found someone on IG goes by the name "nikeairfiend" anybody done biz with him?

 

[a100o]

does the premium Jason mark brush make a difference?
