Air Jordan 5 “Raging Bull” April 10, 2021

Y'all are doing too much. Leave as be.

I personally liked the deeper red from the OGs. That's what I remember. When I got these, they just ain't the right shade.

Makes a world of difference what do yall recommend if some dye got on the shark teeth to clean? Isopropyl alcohol? Or repaint?

I would love to dye my pair.
….but I don’t have the courage.

….but I don’t have the courage.

It's easy it was my first time! Get all the tools and take your time! It took me a couple hours to mask off the sections (it takes the most time). Then the dying is easy!

Some dye mightve stained the white on my pair so I would use a lot of layers of masking tape next time on the teeth to prevent. But here's a pic of the masking and the tools you will need!

Tools:
1. Angelus red suede dye w/ bristle thing
2. Angelus suede brush (or Any suede brush to reset the suede nap)
3. Some paintbrushes to touch up the edges
4. Masking tape
5. Xacto knife to trim the masking tape
6. Water and stain repellent spray

If I can do it you can

Did you waterproof your pair?

If so, does the new dye affect that at all?

I'm going to, I'm waiting on Amazon to deliver it today. I don't think it would affect it at all. Reshoev8r said it would help prevent bleeding. 2-3 coats of waterproof w/ 30 min in between each session

What brand are you usin?

Will you post an update after its done?

I need to do the same, but that spray stuff makes me nervou.

Appreciate it.

 

[Gordonson]

what do yall recommend if some dye got on the shark teeth to clean? Isopropyl alcohol? Or repaint?

I'd try both, in that order if the alcohol can't clean it up. Isopropyl that's 70% or higher can damn near be used like acetone though so be gentle with it.

Nice work on the redye.

Just sprayed them twice before I head to work. I used light sprays about 6-8 in away from shoe. Let them sit for 20 min. Doesn't appear to be any bleeding.

Thanks for the help! I just went to michaels and got some regular paint. There's a little difference where you can still see it. Using a toothpick. I'll go over it with a paintbrush tomorrow . Thank you for the compliment Gordon!

I can just see me walking outside in the rain and look down and there is red dye running all over the ground.

 

[airflight69]

Last one and im done.

Here's the final product after waterproofing. Suede is dry and I think the waterproofing made the red a little darker and richer. If yall have any questions feel free to inbox!

Lace swap! It wasn't a good idea. The laces look like something a strippers car seat covers would be made of.

At the price and condition, hard to pass up a good deal.

 

[ALNotSure]

That reminds me to sell mine. They feel like 50lbs bricks

I STILL need a pair of THESE. I struck out miserably, back when they released. SNKRS is a Cancer, also Eastbay, and FinishLine are a COMPLETE joke. Nowadays.
