Put in work on the Big Stages ahead of August. Each stat and scale has been touched up with gloss to provide pop by replicating the original effect. Thumbnails are pretreatment, additional on foot shots in Kobe thread.

Can someone help me figure out what is going on here? Is this a case of glittering? Mold? Although I’m not sure if mold crystallizes?

It’s called leather bloom/spew. It happens to the black leather. You can wipe it away with a damp cloth and then apply some leather lotion after

bit of a noob question, do cracks/blemishes in synthetic leather look a lot worst/larger when they're dampened? have been experimenting w/restoration & think I may have used a brush that was too rough but then I'm looking at pix of the sneakers in question before I cleaned em & the blemishes are there just not as big.

Just thinking behind the science of it, I would think it’s a temporary hydration that may bloat and cause more damage. When I clean anything it’s a slightly damp brush (hogs hair I use) with minimal soap and then wipe off when done. I probably didn’t help your situation, but thought I’d try to add something lol

'preciate you every bit helps, I did go overboard on cleaner (Jason Markk), I used too much that is. after drying for a few days the kix look more or less back to how they did before I took a brush to em. I used the Jason Markk brush that has yellow bristles which I think is too rough for uppers if you're heavy handed.

You still got some time, do a reglue until they crumble

Can anyone recommend someone for complete restorations? Preferably someone you have dealt with and can vouch. For sentimental reason I want to restory Ferraris and Stealth Foams.

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. Hoping you guys can help. I got a pair of Kobe VII and the shoe has oxidized. Refer to picture.
Any idea and recommendation on how to restore it? I think the material is just plastic..
Thanks in advance.

It's crazy how cheap Nike is. These 2010 Duck boots aren't even sewn on, they have fake stitches. 
Maybe the thick material would have been a problem to stitch.

Happy to see WC 2011s still going strong. Still have mine, too. Just letting the midsole paint peel as it may, for now.

Some plastic parts, such as the XII side tabs/guards, get a sticky film over the years. What is that? How do you clean it?
