Also I use a product called, "Reviver," to get my soles clear. I have used SeaGlow also and that didn't work nearly as well as the Reviver.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the discoloration on the print? I tried cleaning it with Soap and water + Jason Markk but that didn't work.

Reviver is an amazing product. I like it much better than seaglow and got much better results in half the time. I came across it on instagram and is made by IG member: stilldjy1. He created the product, "Reviver," and also restores shoes. He does an amazing job on restoring shoes and have made some pretty nasty soles become icy again. He has a website that you can purchase Reviver from. His site is: godofsoles.bigcartel.com also check out the work he has done on Instagram. He goes by stilldjy1.

Hope you realized that they were fake when you bought them. Fakes are always a good canvas to practice on.
If you didn't know they were fake, one big warning sign is the leather used. The ones you bought are tumbled. The authentics are smooth.

Is that true for all Retro V's? Here is the tag. I didn't realize they were fakes but it's a 15 dollar mistake

70% alcohol? I'm confused. How am I supposed to get rid of the print discoloration if I can't touch it?

Damn that tag is way off lmao!
Like I said, the Fire Red 5's have a smooth leather, not a tumbled leather. Even the Nike Air is off.
If you didn't know, the fire red 5s originally came out in 1990 then later retro'd in 1999 - 2000. That's the last time it was released with a nike air. After that retro, the reretro came in the CDP pack in 2008 and this year, 2013.

I mean't the painted elephant cracks. Don't touch the elephant painted cracks otherwise it will get on the area you want to clean.

I don't see any in my size for that price
What is a good price you think I should offer him for those? $20 shipping is crazy AF...
I'm think if I can get them for like $50-$70 shipped, and spend like $10-$15 on stuff to restore them, I'd have a nice pair of 7's for around 60-80 bucks.

you're just being cheap. Those have no heel drag at all. Ask the buyer if you can buy them for 55 shipped through paypal

75 for a pair of cardinals in that condition is a rip off. 40 plus 20 for shipping would be fine

So you'll think I should try to get them on the cheap and restore them for my first project? What do you see that needs to be done on them?

Alright. A while back I told you guys how I totalled my car when I started fishtailing and flipped it after I slid across the road. When I got out of the wreckage I stepped into about 4 inches of mud. Anyway I cleaned it with a rag, soap and water.
Anyway IDK if the upper can get any better than this. (didnt take any before pics). I am just so mad because these are in my top 5.
Well executed retro and I know these wont be done as well next time around.
Anyway what should I do about the midsole. Especially the stitching on the toebox
