When pics of the Fire Red 3's originally surfaced there were a lot of people complaining on how the elephant print was too dark. Still feel that way? Well, here's a solution(literally)!
not sure if already posted but...
what you'll need is:
-1 rag
-1 bottle of Acetone Nail Polish Remover
-1 bowl of water
1.) Take out your Fire Reds and place them over a towel
2.) Grab bowl and nail polish remover. Pour a little of the nail polish remover into the water, but not too much. The ratio should be like 2:5 (more water than nail polish remover). Mix solution.
3.) Dip towel into solution and begin wiping the elephant portion of your Fire Reds. Put a little pressure on there to soak up the blackness of the elephant print. If you start seeing black ink appear on the rag, congratulations..you're on your way to success.
4.) Wait 30 minutes - 1 hour for elephant print to completely dry. Once you have done this, you should be able to start seeing the elephant print turn from blackish in color to dark grey.
5.) Repeat as many times as necessary. I myself probably did between 5-6 wipings to get the shade that I wanted.
Since the nail polish remover is diluded, it shouldn't mess up any of the paint on your shoe.
*warning* the black lines on your elephant print may start to fade slightly
