^white

 

[concordefliteschool]

thank you sir, thats what i thought. my midsoles almost look mushroom! this gonna be a helluva try. any tips on the midsole?

 

[ogfiend]

^Tooth whitener gel....I just started a yellow pair of denim lows. After this first application of the gel, the midsole went from very yellow to more of a tancolor. After a few more, they should be closer to white.

 

[g raider]

It doesn't effect the stitching at all and as far as getting the tube separately, I've only seen the kits. It is a good investment the tube will last you a very long time. I did two shoes already with four applications and I still have plenty left over. It didn't even effect the painted "AIR" on the back of the shoes. But I remember reading that to get best results the shoe should only be slightly yellowed and not piss yellow. It would not hurt to try it out.

Here are pictures with a colored stitching that I currently did. Both pictures are taken without flash and only difference is the TV was turned on.

Before.

After.

8tothe24- What are WP?? Water Proofs?

I ended up winning these... ultimate impulse buy. I did the search and there was about a minute left in the auction so I immediately put a bid in and won.

 

[concordefliteschool]

when did nike remove the swoosh below where the lacelocks would sit?

 

[xilegacy]

for my size 10 peeps 320474186503 good quality shoe.

 

[ogfiend]

^ I wanna say '03. Question is, when did they add it? Sometime in the 90s, right?

Around '07 is when the Swoosh pretty much disappeared completely, the only exception being the Bobbito Highs.

Easter '05s, EU Vs. US '06 and '06 Inside Out 'Maple/Mangos' had the swoosh.

I really wish they'd bring back the Swoosh and the oval medallions.

 

[8tothe24]

I believe that 02 they started to phase out the swoosh and I am pretty sure that they continued to use it on QuickStrikes, JD exclusives and up to 06 womensreleases (As Vood said, 07 was the pretty much phase out). I am not sure how they did Mids and Highs. As far as when they started it, I would guess around96. Here is an 06 that has a swoosh.

 

[m tr4nch]

the toe swoosh seems to be there randomly on certain pairs in the last few years. most if not all lows during the late 90's/early 00's had them. somehigh's had them, some didn't. mids always have one.
personally i think they all should have one still, it breaks up the empty space there.

 

[itsaNYthing]

I always thought that AF1s with lacelocks didn't have the swoosh at the toe while those who didn't did have it.

 

[concordefliteschool]

I too agree that it definitely fills that empty piece. Wish I had a newer pair of forces with it on there
