Iight if you remember, lemme know. They should be coming in sometime next week

Try this bro

No, DO NOT try this product.

Scuff remover is like repurposed white out. They just put weak paint on you shoes that washes and runs off on the rest of your shoe when they get wet. And it's a very very bright white so it doesn't match the color jb uses on white leather.

Angelous white leather paint.

Lotion or baby powder under your insoles.

Retro brite.

I find that difficult to do, I did it once and I ended up stripping the paint off because I ironed it so much trying to get those creases. My advice is not to worry about it, you're going to wear them again so it's going to keep happening.

the plastic netting on my Jordan IV White Cement's is about to cause a mental breakdown.

Only one of the shoes has yellowed. I've using dish detergent first, then I found this thread and proceeded with Oxyclean. No success. Then I got some powder form RIT whitener. No Success. Most likely, I don't know what the heck I'm doing, but this shoe is CLEAN, except that stupid netting part. HELP!!! lol.

^^^ive heard the powdered rit is a big no no for the white netting because it causes yellowing. Try the liquid version. Im also having the same problem. Just waiting for the rit liquid to arrive

I use the powder RIT.

I mix it into a paste then apply it.

The product itself is yellow, so it is going to give you the illusion of yellowing if you don't wash it out all the way. I run it under warm water and get out what I can, then I grab the trust toothbrush and dish soap and wash it under the water stream. Works every time.

not sure how much you can see it, but here you go...

How do you work it into a paste?

Hold my shoes under warm water? am I missing something?

I'm starting to understand why I'm getting $100+ quotes to clean some of my other shoes.

 

[sir charles]

To make a paste out of powder you add a small, and I mean SMALL amount of water to it. Not enough water to make it a solution, but enough to make it stick together.

The powder is naturally thick too, so it is made into a paste very easily then I apply it to my netting. Wait a few minutes then wash it out.

The yellowing isn't bad on your 4s so it shouldn't be difficult to get it out

Have you used other shoe cleaners?
If so Would you say Jason Mark works the best out of all??

 

[change the name Snyder]

To the guys asking about re-gluing their soles

Most local shoe repair shops will do it for $7 - $15

had my 2000 SJs and 2003 Blk/Red XIIs re-glued

better to have it professionally done than walking around on 

a shoddy diagonal job.

Have you tried it before? I'm worried about ruining the soles.

 

[squatchnt]

My sun bleach method on my Concords was a fail because of the temperature outside. Too cold, will try again in the summer. I found some liquid BKF at Lowes. Anybody ever try the liquid before? Got my crash test dummy helmet on again but would appreciate any tips if anybody has any.

2000 Concord 11 Restoration: A full restoration was performed; I reshined the patent leather, decreased the toebox and the ankle support, whitened the mesh and the laces, and reglued the uppers and the bottoms back to the midsole,

 

[foamtothedome]

nice job @johnandrew13, quick question i reglued the whole sole  and now it feels slick and slippery as if the rubber got dried out, any advice on what products you used, and if its even safe for me to do this? thanks
