for the netting, oxyclean and a toothbrush should whiten it again. or will it just whiten the mesh underneath the netting? is this area seaglowable?
for the midsole, would seaglow work? magic eraser? I saw somebody post before and after of seaglow on the rubber sole of an AF1 and it seemed to work great. the rubber on the sole of the 4's is kinda shiny though, will the seaglow affect the luster at all? or magic eraser? any other suggestions? I will try to get a pick of the shoe so you can see how bad it is. thanks for any suggestions!
i wish i knew which pair of iv's it was, but i'm assuming either pure money, white/cement, mars, etc. for the netting the oxyclean and toothbrush will do the job. netting is not sea glow applicable. will damage the netting. as far as the midsoles, no. this is a painted area and the sea glow will damage the paint and stain the foam midsoles. you best bet is using magic eraser. it will help but i don't know how bad the yellowing is on the shoe to tell you if it will remove all of it. if it's the toe box is solid white rubber, not painted white, then sea glow will work to remove the yellow. if the back midsoles is yellowed where the foam is, then only do the magic eraser and no sea glow. hope this helps you.
