check the sneaker care/maintenance thread. better off trying to repair it yourself instead of paying someone else to do it. what is wrong with your cement 4s?

There's a store inside oakridge that I see all the time that restores shoes..not sure if they are good but i see that they have some Mars IVs in the window

yea i studied that thread. the main thing i need done to it is the midsole. i can repaint the upper but the midsole is shot! i plan on restoring it for collection purposes now. these have hella miles on them..i didn't care too much for them back in the days. check the pic..this is the worse part out of both shoes...

i called one shop out in pleasanton and was told that repairing bball shoes are not common for them but it can be done. they don't repaint the leather, they re-dye the leather (im guessin thats better)..and said the entire repair would cost anywhere around $80-$100. imma end up checking them out on thursday and probably gonna go check out that store in oakridge to see wussup. i think that store in oakridge is called shoe stop.

using caulk to fill in those spots just seem like it should be in the hands of someone with experience. and then you gotta reshape it. im not tryin to mess with that. thanks for the info..

LOL. seaglowing is a long +!% process. i found the time this week to seaglow my 5s. it took me 3 days total. probably like 3-4.5 hours everyday. i would do it for free if i had the time..but when i get back to work next week..my social life is gone again
