Well, does it matter?
I would guess taking the insole out and using some acohol on the sticker. Seems like a bit much for a sticker tho

You're not the only one. I heard you can use acetone to remove the pinkness. It's due to the glue that changes the pigmentation. Even retr0brite wont work. I tried on my pair.

Was able to grab a pair of VNDS white cement 4s. Can someone tell me how to clean the inside? in terms of getting sick of the sock lint, making the white padding on the sides whiter and also how can I make it have a fresh new smell to it? Any certain refresher sprays? Any help will be much appreciated.

That's exactly what it was .
Excessive heat can cause leather to crack.
Riding in your car with the heat on blast at your feet can also do this

I said you shouldnt do it on tumbled leather anyway. It takes off the texture

Would retrobrite actually bring back the varsity red color on the soles of flu game 12's? Mines have that orangish hue.

Going to try this again....can anyone give me advice on fully cleaning the insoles, the inner white padding to make it whiter and take off the sock lint, and what product is out there to possibly spray in the shoes to give it a fresh smell?

I'm sure this has been asked numerous times in here, but as the thread's gotten so big and the search function isn't really working as well as it should I'll just go ahead and ask my question and hope someone might be able to help me out.
My 2000/2001 Air Flare (Agassi) is suffering a bit of outsole separation at around the toe-area. The outsole is rubber (obvs), while the upper is some sort of softish leather/pleather. Is Shoe Goo the way to go? Not sure if there's any foam deeper inside/around that area that I can't see, but will the Shoe Goo eat into those materials, as some adhesives tend to do?
Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

No, just don't
It takes multiple sessions of retrobrite to get a good look. If you want a tint dye them. Never buy a fake pair for that

Remove the insoles and wash them with soap and water. Then place some baking soda on them to remove smells. Sof sole makes a product called sneaker balls that freshens up your kicks as well.
To take of sock pilings, that's up to you. The people at restoremysneakers use a shaving razor and run it up the padding then brush off the pilings. Worked well with no damage taken to the shoe.
To whiten, I couldn't help you. I've been trying on a pair of white/green 14s with little results

Soap and water and a scrub brush, works wonders on the sock lining!

scrubing the insoles wouldn't damage it would it?
