Does lincoln ez cleaner restore the suede or does it only clean it? And is baby oil my only solution to bringing the suede back to its darker color?

you do realize that's their original intent right? They're sneakers
Some of us don't like creasing our sneakers get over it. By your argument...I mean...why even clean them at all? They're just shoes right? FOH with that. I say forget wearing them to school. Wear something else. Wait till you get your sneaker shields it will be worth it. Force fields don't really work that well. And creases in patent leather show really badly. And they are hard to remove. Just wait FAM.

I'm looking to buy some angelus paint from turtle feathers. I have some black cement 3s that are cracking, but since im buying I figure I'll buy for the true blues also. My question is, which colors on the turtlefeathers website match the jordan grey, red, and blue? Also, do you use the duller to make a more matte finish?

You have to mix them, nothing matches exactly.
True Blue= blue paint base + TWO DROPS WHITE + ONE DROP BLACK
If you can get it in front of you, you still might have to tweak it. But that's a good start.

Even with the shields they will eventually crease. If not on the toe box then on the sides.

creases are natural it doesnt take away aesthetically from the shoe, you cant even see it when standing. Trust me, you not enjoying the $200 shoes if you constantly so worried about them. Adds unnecessary stress.

A lot of others have recommended the Retrobrite formula over Sea Glow. You can make it on your own and it comes out to cheaper than SGAnyone?

you can remove the insole, wait and hope they break in the way you want, or size swap for a bigger size.

Best way to store 3's?
Too many people arguing and I don't know who to listen to..
most agree on in the closet with damprid/cool/room temperature in a box of some sort...
In box with paper at that bottom
In box no paper
In plastic box
W/ silica packets (I really do think silica packets will dry the pair out.. or else why wouldn't nike just toss a couple bags in there for storage, even for the 11's... I mean nike might be cheap who knows)
In ziploc
In saran wrap...
what's the best proven method?! Someone enlighten me lol. Again, I apologize for not looking through this thread for an answer..

Using Saran Wrap will dry out the leather of your shoes and cause them to crumble.
Ziplock bags are the same.
If you want them to be the best they can be use a plastic box, and about once a month take them out to breath for about 24 hours. Just let them sit out on the counter then put them back in

If you have a shoe repair store near you they can stretch them for you or you can buy the shoe stretcher yourself off amazon. I posted a picture of it a few pages back. It's cheaper to let the shoe repair do it if it's a 1 time thing, but if you have a wide foot and it happens in other shoes it's a good investment.

Hey whats up guys. I need some advice and help and was wondering if you could help me. I bought some jordan 7 citrus and I started cleaning tthem with Roma Laundry Detergent. I started scrubbing with the toothbrush and I think this guy used some sort of paint or the soap because I did put alot of soap in a little half cut plastic water bottle. I was wondering if you guys could give me any advice.

I actually bought one myself. It works for me. They also have a shoe genie made by as seen on TV that others have said they use. I like the one that I purchase as it has a screw type mechanism to adjust the width whereas the shoe genie works by a spring mechanism.

Depends on where you live, but you can basically store them as is. No need to fear tissue paper. You can have the tissue paper. My only suggestion is to store it in a cool dark closet. Just make sure the closet doesn't get warm and humid on a regular basis.

How to whiten the stiching on the AF1? and how to clean the tounge of the air force ones if a brown dirt stain does not want to come off.
